9/11 really bums me out.
A horrible, but perfect, terrorist attack that launched two forever wars abroad, fueled horrific global violence, created the security state etc. Plus, the attack was allowed to happen by the state to allow them to gain all this power in the planned chaos.
It's like today is the anniversary of the beginning of this flailing spiral that is damaging everyone as it goes down.
PLUS, also it's the anniversary of Chile which is a reminder of how ruthless the powers that be can be to any socialist country.
Just a bad vibe day.
yeah honestly it's devastatingly sad. I mean, i'm not torn up around the people who died in the pentagon because that's quite literally a military installation BUT most people who died that day and as a result of that day were normal people.
Millions of iraquis dead. Guantanamo literally still operational. Mass droning. the nebulously defined "war on terror" that's still ongoing. Mass surveillance. Defining "terrorism" as anything the gov doesn't like, ICE, the border patrol.. and of course the actual fucking torture.
This day to me feels like nothing more than a bitter reminder of all the evil shit our country has done in the last 20 years.
I’m a bit torn up about the pentagon because my uncle was in it that day and he didn’t die
