The 9/11 jokes attack the symbol, not the people that died.
Exactly.
The US basically wages "war" across the whole world for fifty years; killing millions of innocents, usurping governments and well,
terrorizing the people of these countries.
Then one incident hits the US themselves. They get attacked on their own grounds.
And what happens?
They go completely apeshit, sparking a "war on terror" which would, and still to this day do, consume a
ridiculous amount of resources.
And human lives, lets not forget that.
That's what's funny about 9/11. Well, after 10+ years it's not really funny anymore imo, just sad.
We are on the verge of an economic collapse, people are living on the street and abandoned buildings litter the US cities yet billions of dollars are being pumped into completely unnecessary airport security measures, 9/11 memorials and other stuff people have no use for whatsoever. Also of course the aforementioned "war".
I specifically said "9/11 memorials" for a reason: If I'd be one of those that died I'd be rolling over in my grave right now. Wouldn't the best way to honor their deaths be to try and make the world a better place, to realize the consequences of trying to police the world and quit before even more innocent lives are lost? Apparently not, and the memorials just add insult to injury imho by blowing more money into the circus.
To conclude: The loss of innocent lives is tragic, but how the deaths, and the whole 9/11 incident has been abused is even more so.
