Idk why I find that hella funny, maybe that's me empathize with everyone who thinks a moment of silence for 9/11 is funny. I cracked the code!

Aw good. I always think it's best to talk to your professors if you're having a hard time. Communication can make a big difference even though in college we're often super disconnected from our educators (at least I'm the US)
I hear that. I am definitely more in the camp of "I literally do not care about recognizing this but do feel bad for those that passed when I remember that it was even a thing".
Not my first encounter but I think the most posts I've seen about it back to back. Makes sense it's on hexbear though lol
Lollllll jokerfied. I think how you phrased this resonates with me. The anger and furiousness can only last so long so it turns to gallows humor.
I totally agree that people need to be educated about all of the disgusting shit our government enacts daily, but I guess I see the memes as potentially entrenching their beliefs even further. I'm not anti-9/11 memes, it just makes me feel uncomfortable but I can also sit with that myself
I didn't say anything about caring equally. I know that 9/11 is peanuts compared to the atrocities enacted by the US. I just don't find it THAT funny to post a million memes about it, and wanted to know people's actual perceptions since I hadn't seen much actual discussion around it. I'm glad that I asked because it's interesting to hear each persons' unique perspectives while we are all in general agreement on many of the reasons that it feels like bullshit
I think that everyone here does have a nuanced take on this, don't get me wrong - many of you appear to be much smarter/well read than I am at this point. I just thought it was kinda weird to log on and just see a bunch of lulz with no other discussion from anyone at all; but I guess that's because you've had this conversation before. That said, there are people who would totally joke about this without having that nuance so I was just making sure I didn't enter the twilight zone or something lol.
That makes sense. I was in middle school when it happened so that may also affect my perspective. I remember one of my friends who had family in New York absolutely losing it at school. I appreciate the responses though!
Dang it actually looks really cool....one of the characters gives Big Daddy from Bioshock vibes
I totally forgot who Madison Cawthorn was so I looked him up, I wonder what his mindset is in posting this since he's a huge chud?
Also I get your reasoning for sure, I think it's just off-putting to really rail on it and make fun of it instead of just being like "fuck this day I'm tired of it" or just forgetting it completely. To each their own I guess I laugh at some 9/11 memes too though so I get it to a degree
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.
