    What if it was your family that died?

    I have many family members who are veterans. Some of them shot during wars. I don’t particularly care about them, but let’s say I do. Maybe I’ll mourn their deaths in the attacks, but then what? It’s done and over with. They are heroes in the eyes of America. Someone will always be there to ‘stand up’ for them.

    Millions of Muslims and their families have turned into dust and no one will ever care. Their countries will likely continue to crumble for centuries, and again, no one gives a shit.

    Grieve away for the Americans, but I don’t care anymore. I don’t find the attacks funny and the memes are often try hard, but I can only shed so many tears. Enough people are already doing it for America, and not enough are grieving for the ones who will never, ever recover.

      I hear that. I am definitely more in the camp of "I literally do not care about recognizing this but do feel bad for those that passed when I remember that it was even a thing".
