    The US kills a ton of homeless people every day without a second thought but we're supposed to never forget a couple of rich fuck buildings

      Once covid deaths hit a 9/11 per day in the United States without radical action being taken to stop the spread, it really sunk in for me on a visceral level that Americans in general do not actually give a solitary shit about any of the people that died on 9/11. It was a tragedy not for the large loss of life, but simply because it was an attack on the United States that hurt national pride.

    It's a bittersweet silver lining to this century of decaying American imperialism that the landmark "patriotic" event in it is only held in reverence by the most extraordinarily out of touch aging ghouls and everyone else mocks it now.

      I think most people here don't celebrate the people dying that day as much as they mock the coercive insincere reverence pushed by the warmongers that killed thousands of people per every individual that died that day, all for lootable resources in Iraq and Afghanistan.

        Remember those commemorative coin commercials where you could buy coins supposedly made from the steel of the collapsed building? Yeaahhh that was way worse than these tattoos.

          The ways that "patriots" tried to honor/respect 9/11 came off as way more insulting to me than the actual earnest mockeries. Like Rudy Ghouliani having $9.11 proportioned donations for his presidential campaign, the Jokerfying gift shop and theme restaurant built at Ground Zero, and even calling it "patriot day" as if there was anything positive to glean over the Casus Belli from the day that bled the world for decades to come afterward.

        Thank you. My family honors him every year on 9/11. He was one of the best pilots here in Egypt.

    I could see something a little more abstract too. Like the whole “building is a different color behind smoke” thing is neat and may work better with really simple colors and minimal shading. But this is really the worst of both worlds.

    I would post Ipatiev House to r/ATBGE but I'd probably get banned and the post deleted
