I think it's easy to joke about such a tragedy when you're so far removed from it. Yes yes, the U.S is a dumpster fire and has been doing much worse to other countries for decades. That doesn't negate, in any way, the fact that innocent people were killed on that day. I actually lost someone there. Some of you who know me may be surprised, as I'm not American. But, by an unfortunate turn of event, one of my relatives was there, right at the wrong place, wrong moment, when it happened. What the fuck was he doing in America then, I have no fucking clue. These people -those who died, they weren't CEOs or Wall Street predators or billionaires, or even soldiers or cops; they were office workers, secretaries, overworked people working hell shifts in cubicles. They were victims of the capitalist system, just like all of us here are. 9/11 was a fucking tragedy. Nothing less. I wish you had the guts to walk up to a person whose friends or family were killed when the first plane hit the tower and tell them "happy nine eleven lol". I would love to see their reaction. The worst part is, I myself have grown accustomed to these little jokes on the online left. To the point where I sometimes catch myself awkwardly grinning at some post mocking the attack. And I feel so fucking ashamed. I feel like every bit about 9/11 is an insult to the memory of my uncle. I miss him so fucking much. By an unfortunate turn of events, just like that, because the US had decided to mess around, he was gone. He, the best pilot in the middle east, didn't deserve to die like that.
