I don't remember having much of a reaction to 9/11 seeing as how I'd literally never heard of a single building in New York other than the Statue of Liberty, and I don't think I knew that that's where that was. I do remember asking my parents in like 2003, 2004 if Saddam Hussein was going to fire his chemical weapons over here and kill us all. I was picturing like a giant lawn sprinkler firing a big spray of death gas across the entire continent.zakharov posted:There are bands whose lyrics are opaque or subtle enough you can project whatever politics on them.

Context: VladTV is a..."reporter"? who covers a lot of rap news. His show is notorious for having rappers come on and "self-snitch" (like bragging about crimes or gang affiliations, which is obviously of interest to the cops). https://twitter.com/Masongham/status/1643370084314890240 https://twitter.com/BookerOnTidal/status/1643370986920882178 https://twitter.com/Masongham/status/1643372217810427905 https://twitter.com/Masongham/status/1643372666508779530  Bonus funny response: https://twitter.com/CadillacGroup/status/1643413762769076224

People keep saying this, which makes me wonder if "work forces" is some phrase I just had never heard, because I didn't know what it was supposed to mean until like two years ago in this thread. Like, I thought it was work (noun) forces (verb).

I guess I'm the nerdy kid who actually read the lyrics sheets that were included in the CD, even if you didn't understand "work forces" (I didn't) the rest of the songs lyrics have enough context clues to make it obvious it's about cops being racist. Or you could watch the music video on MTV back when MTV showed music videos. God drat I'm old ranting about physical CDs and watching actual music videos on MTV.

My entire high school went into lockdown for 2 hours one morning in 1999 after a goth girl from my friend group stayed home sick, administration thought she was planning to do a copycat shooting. Same principal who's speech to my graduating class was how we were like geese, and geese need to flock together, stray geese don't survive or succeed. She loving hated counterculture youth and harassed us for being weird constantly.

The fear over massive war with draft immediately after 9/11 wasn't an insane thought process. Historical record shows that all Afghan wars are slogs that cost thousands. The public was being told of these vast cave fortresses, where they stored a fleet of Soviet Era tanks. We were being told that every professional Muslim fighter was coming to counter us. The Admin had taken a hard line rhetorical stance, and the Axis of Evil speech felt like a promise. Starting in 2002, when Iraq was being built as n enemy, there was legitimate worry that he would use chemical weapons on US troops- we knew he had them (not the WMD bullshit we peddled; we rolled in there with a general idea of how much he had from what we gave/sold/supplied in the 80s). He had learned from the Gulf War, and that this time we would take down the regime. Even in Kuwait, during the build up, there was real, genuine concern that we were going to get hit with Nerve Agent. I don't think a HS teacher thinking his kids might get drafted wasn't the realm of the Cloud Cuckoo, just as a more distant point in possible reality. I was already enlisted by 9/11 (Feb 2001), and no one doubted my career path was set in concrete. One teacher spent the entire 90 minute class on Smedley Butler and his famous work "War is a Racket". She later told me it was her attempt to steer me right, "or at least away from the loving Infantry", as she later said.

I did find it very funny every time Jeremy Clarkson made up a fake redneck American name and it was always Something Something The Third We're both all spiderman-pointing.jpg about those generational suffixes (Americans probably do it in shallow imitation of why they think British nobility does it, but the pattern and the cultural/historical background is all wrong, so to Brits it just looks nonsensical)
