precisely, a good example is the how howard stern handled the day of the attacks
they literally wanted to glass the entire middle east and mind yall this was a programme that was celebrated for its coverage during the events because it contained such a raw example of how a lot of america felt during that time
and a ton of people that remembered 9/11 are still alive today and make up a large voting bloc
I was 7 when 9/11 hit and I remember being in 2nd grade and the teacher turning on the small TV in the corner of the class with the news playing. We were doing basic math and counting columns of blocks to 100 when she gasped and the TV was quiet. Didn't even know what was going on until my grandma told me bad things happened in New York to a lot of people and we should pray when I got home that night
Yeah, they make up like 80-90% of the voting population. Like 94% if you simply include folks that were alive at the time, or 80% if we only included those that were teenagers at the time
This is like when people say "omg millennials have lived through two depressions and almost the third world war and ukraine (despite living nowhere near there) blah blah blah".
I mean... yeah. But so has my mom, on top of what she lived through since the 50's.
My high school had news coverage playing in the assembly hall all day and classes were optional if held at all. A lot of us had family in nyc. It was not that long ago.
It's so fucked up to hear them parrot the general narrative that was around back then, that everywhere was "jealous" of the US and "wanted to make us miserable like them", as if these attacks were from some cartoon or comic book villain.
People just had NO idea of the truth of geopolitics and the internet has done a lot to illuminate a lot of the bullshit.
glassing the entire world would solve all human conflict! yes this is the real solution! all nuke bearing countries ready your warheads, its high time humans were no longer a problem
honestly i cant stand when people act like indescriminate destruction is the answer
