Lol it's hard to convey just how bad TV was after 9/11 for quite awhile. Everything was over the top sad. Also while on the topic I'm pretty sure if I recall correctly for the entire day of 9/11 every single network besides kids shows and maybe a few others like weather all were showing 9/11 coverage. You literally couldn't find a channel not rebroadcasting the news coverage besides those, it was wild.

    Yeah it really didn't take very long for us to start blaming anyone in the so called middle east. Bin Laden didn't even claim responsibility right away but it was obvious this was going to be a war on Islam and brown people pretty fast. There was attacks on the Sikh communities very shortly after 9/11 among other darker skinned people. Shit was disgusting as hell.

    Like this is nothing original to say but it still gives me chills thinking about how fast it was possible to turn the Anglo West into blood hungry warmonger. The propaganda was so thick, people were out there for years committing vigilante "justice." And it never really ended, there is still a deep seeded hatred towards Muslims or anyone who thinks they are Muslim :deeper-sadness:
