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.

I don't give a shit because most of the people in that building weren't innocents.

And for the ones that were I refer to Frankie Boyle: https://youtu.be/zwc32B1DlIA?t=629

Lmao damn that part about the mixed feelings got me. Granted I don't know the specifics of exactly who worked in the building. I know there were pieces of shit definitely, but yeah. I'm definitely not taking my hat off to mourn the day, just was like "yeowch these jokes are getting extreme". Learned a lot from asking the question, though.

I like to think of it as "Oh fuck I'm going to die. But at least all these bastards die too."
