    Not the person your asking and I’m American not Canadian but the parallels are pretty stark to me. I was young but old enough to remember 9/11 aftermath pretty clearly and it’s probably the only time I’ve seen this level of just outright bloodlust from every western person

    One of the things I remember about post 9/11 was the ostracization of Islamic/Arab people. I heard a lot of extremely casual islamophobia and anti-Arab racism. People saying stuff like they don’t use toilet paper etc. Lots of misinformation about them in the media as well as it calling for us to glass the Middle East, hoo-rah america shit. It was very much if you said anything nuanced about the situation or dare mention we were there for imperialist/resource-driven reasons you were straight up guilty of treason.

    A lot of the rhetoric in the media and conversations brings me right back to then. It’s wild. Real time is a flat circle hours in a lot of ways.
