    We'll forget COVID asap but we're gonna have weepy, melodramatic remembrances for 9/11 for the rest of our lives and beyond. Depsite the fact that like 300x less people died in 9/11. Because COVID highlights the contradictions and major deficiencies within US capitalism, while 9/11 reinforces the imperialist narrative - that there are "bad guys" out there who hate us because they hate our freedom. And we have the right to "defend ourselves" against any perceived threat that the CIA/State Dept pushes. And if we end up murdering hundreds of thousands based on a paper-thin lie, well that's just an oopsie-doopsie.
