Hope I don't get banned for this, but like can someone explain to me exactly why this shit is funny and there's no nuance around it? Like, you can mourn the Muslim lives lost due to American Imperialism AND mourn the lives of the people who had fuck all to do with any of that? Like the janitors in the building for example? Like I get it fuck the state but for it to be something people post about and laugh at all day long is hard for me to grock. What if it was your family that died?

I'm not trying to argue anything or get in a struggle session around it but like, I'm just surprised that I haven't really seen any kind of pushback or critique around making that big of a joke of this.

lmao what did they pass some new law against mourning America's dead? Did I miss something, is that the mainstream position now? I spent most of my childhood watching adults wail and rend their garments about this shit. It replaced baseball as the national pastime. if you know someone who actually died in the attack that sucks for you, but otherwise get over it, we don't need to go through the whole charade on a supposedly radical internet forum.

Um, i didn't say that anyone needs to publicly mourn anything on hexbear, I sure dont. It was a genuine question but cool hostile response, I appreciate it.
