If you were above the age of 5 when 9/11 happened there’s no excuse. You saw very clearly how US propaganda works, and if you can’t recognize it by now that’s on you.

Seriously, I see the rise of people like funny-clown-hammer and other "leftists" who are mostly pro-US in terms of foreign policy, and it seems they're mostly guys my age (late 20s early 30s) leading audiences of Zoomers, and it's almost like they're taking advantage of the fact they didn't live through the post 9/11 war on terror buildup.

Honestly I don’t give much credit to the youths either, I’m too young to remember 9/11, I just grew up in the aftermath and went “Oh this place is fucking insane”

But if you were there and watched it fucking happen, and you aren’t vehemently anti-US, get in the barbara-pit

It would seem that younger Americans are indeed less susceptible to propaganda

Maybe state propoganda but research shows they're giving boomers a run for their money as far as falling for scams and bullshit online from non state departments.
