I hear you. I was in the army when 9/11 happened so I didn’t have a choice but to be involved in the response. I was ready to show how I had trained against the Saudis who attacked us so when all of the units plans changed to Iraq, my opinion about 9/11 and all of the ongoing US propaganda for it kind of changed.

Now it’s over 20 years later and after having deployed three times I have lost more of my friends to poverty and health related suicide (thank you, department of veterans affairs) I would say that the poor suffered more in 2008 then we did as a nation from that attack. America needs us to remember that small attack so that we can maintain endless wars in countries which are proxy, fights and training grounds for our soldiers. We shouldn’t be killing people. We should be focused on making sure the billionaires aren’t crashing the economy in cycles in order to profit from our endless labor.

9/11 should be remembered for the horrific act that it was, but the cult following that it turned into is wrong. How many people died in terrorist attacks in American history and how many people have had their liberties deprived by police, especially if they are the wrong color? Worse things are happening every day. We need to be distracted though.

Awesome! Eat the rich!

I agree. I’m American and I love the show “Taskmaster.” I would like to give them money to watch it. They would like to receive my money. There have been legal complications for years. I’ve bought their physical board game from their website but as far as the show goes, yo ho ho!

I have stayed in one brand of hotels most of my career because I love them but at one point a showerhead shot off into my back and a laser-beam like steel-cutter of water tried its best to cut me in half before I got out of its way. It was like a shower head on a ball joint with a pinhole in it. I really hope they changed their shower head design after that.

Smartest argument that I’ve heard for their existence!

Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I’m not using Lemmy to its potential.
