My father's lovely new wife posted something just like this years back. Hers had something to the effect of "I lost too many loved ones in the towers" (we only knew one person who was a firefighter who signed up to do exactly what he did) in conjunction with an imaginary Muslim demonstration at which it was implied she wanted to open fire with an automatic weapon. I've been disowned from the family for being the only one to call her out on it instead of giving a heart react (apparently I'm the bigot for not tolerating their thousand flavors of bigotry). Common features between the two: Implying the terrorists weren't people, that everyone else forgot this happened because they don't want all brown people dead, playing the victim and pretending anyone cares they're posting this poo poo. Also "god bless all who were lost", which if you think about it includes the terrorists.

Medullah posted:My favorite twin towers ones are the ones where they completely forget most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and we still are BFFs with them. My dad posts one here and there with Ilhan Omar super imposed saying "never forget those that seek to destroy America" Just going off of the people my dad follows on Facebook, I get the strong impression that most Republicans today believe that Ilhan Omar had a fairly substantial role in organizing 9/11.

Joe Rogan would be the best president in years, as long as it's a Gravel teens kinda situation and he's being controlled by antifa furries or whatever.

Wrong unit of measure. Within 19 months of September 11, 2001, the US forgot the war on terror was with Afghanistan and started going after Iraq instead.

The war wasn't with Afghanistan either. The Taliban government offered to help the US to deal with AQ, but that just wasn't enough. So instead there was 19 years of war, ending with the Taliban pretty much right back where they started, and a deal made between the US and the Taliban to deal with AQ. The whole thing was monumentally loving stupid, and everybody who died, lost limbs or got traumatized during the war did so for absolutely nothing. But on the bright side, the arms companies made a lot of money.

Sweden lost 5 soldiers in the Afghanistan war and they haunt us to this day just from the monumental levels of "what the gently caress were you idiots doing there?" as the occasional right winger tries to whip up "are troops" sentiments.

You can keep them because the current mood is that the US will 100% gently caress up any rescue effort and an EU based force is a better long term solution.

Someone I went to HS with posted this a couple days and the replies are filled with other classmates tripping over themselves about how "everyone needs to reed this" https://regiehammblog.wordpress.com/2020/02/27/birth-of-a-virus/?fbclid=IwAR1Dtypry9FsT64_-CYyA392mpc30yFmFCMNOuy9pSSO-b5nZ2xMxEUJHpA My favorite part is when the author just comes out and admits he'd gone to China while thinking people there were "inferior" quote:it dawned on me what I was seeing and what I had been seeing this whole time. I wasn’t watching a “backward” culture or a third-world society. These people weren’t genetically inferior to first-worlders. They weren’t “less-evolved” than I was. I'm so glad I got out of the South

One of my middle school teachers told us her political philosophy is "All things in moderation, even moderation." I don't know what the gently caress that means and she didn't elaborate, but I guess it's okay to be radical on a moderate amount of things? idk

Just think, the people who share this are doing so out of pride of all things. "Oh you're dating a POC and voting for a different party? Guess you leave me no choice but to steal all of your belongings and sell them before never speaking to you again." I'm sure "it's just a JOKE!!" if you call them out though.

Err on the side of moderation/conservatism by default, but wild out when some arbitrary threshold you set is crossed or met.

I think pretty much all centrism is just people not understanding the issues, but having an ego big enough that they can't accept they don't understand. So they act like they're oh-so-wise and above all the partisan sheeple.

"Don't get consumed by vice and extravagance, but you don't have to live like a monk in the name of 'moderation' either." Or a more political interpretation: "Don't fall in with extremists, but don't back something solely because it's in the middle of the road." When it's a cute saying someone has? Probably exactly the opposite, like someone posting the Statue of Liberty as part of some anti-immigrant meme.
