I'll never forget how my daughters Kindergarten teachers brought a TV in to the room and my daughter watched people fall to their death at five years of age.

At least when they tore-up London they chose the seventh day of July to avoid this type of confusion.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It doesn't have the same ring, you know? And 911 being the emergency number here in the US, it was a real double whammy for us way back then.

[–] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I remember the realization that the terrorists won. Our political leaders gave us fear and security theater. We started two wars of waste that make more enemies than we killed. We handed out most reactionary politicians and institutions the Patriot Act and other licenses to abuse and subvert democracy. I tell conspiracy theorists that the government didn’t do 9/11, they just exploited the hell out of it.

Never forget that our government allowed the actual perps leave the country and then claimed someone else did the deed so they could invade another country for oil. Also - gave them an excuse to take away our freedoms through security theater.

Friends and I always send memes in the group chat. They said never forget. They didn't tell us how.

My friends and I are throwing a 9/11 rave in the woods. We're trying to figure out how to do a falling twin towers art piece.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

strangely US made such a big deal out of it because it happened only once and enver again, while they do this on the daily in the ME.

I will never forget that the CIA trained Bin Laden.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 50 points 4 days ago

I instead remember the Chilean coup of 9/11 1973, where Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of Chile with the support of the USA.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 50 points 4 days ago

How could we forgot 11.9. when the USA still use it as a pretense to invade foreign countries and increase surveillance on their own people?

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Hot take incoming.

Turns out, Bin Laden was right, we should have not become so deeply invested in the middle east like we have and should have left it. Militarily and essentially colonialism of territory for oil.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not only was he right, but Bin Laden won, even if it killed him. The attack on 9/11 pulled out all the stops on ignorance, xenophobia, evangelicals in politics, the surveillance State, right-wing nationalism, and so much more. We wasted trillions of dollars on wars.

The attack was a slow burn that took 20 years to collapse an “empire.”

What are you nevet forgetful for

Nothing because C-PTSD lol

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I never forget that the US gov created Al Qaeda by indiscriminately blowing up people in the Middle-East, and some of the murdered were friends & family of the three founders of the group. Cause and effect. If my friends and family get bombed for existing I'd also become a vengeful terrorist who spends a decade growing more powerful by connecting with other victims of state murder. I just like to think I'd be able to retaliate on the ones responsible and there to be no innocent casualties.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

...... The US created Al Qaeda by giving them weapons to fight the Russians for them, then abandoning them when they won at massive personal cost..... They literally armed and funded Osama Bin Laden through Pakistan... That part isn't even a conspiracy theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_assistance_to_Osama_bin_Laden

The only "alleged" part is that the CIA didn't DIRECTLY fund bin Laden.... Only through Pakistan's ISI (CIA equivalent)..

Like I get the indirect creating your enemies through causing suffering and destruction in other nations. Like that's valid for ISIS for example. But Al Qaida literally wouldn't have existed without American money.

I never forget how they also could have hit trump tower.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm going to go to a rifle range and harass people that don't know how to shoot.

How could I forget...it marked the final straw to never ever visit this country, despite its tons of things I'd die to see (grand canyon for one).

It was and is an awesome "excuse" to tighten "security" and to cut freedom and rights for its people.

And the wars it allowed...what a bliss!

[–] AfterlifeAdventures@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I'll never forget how my country let this happen, just so the Nazis I'm sorry Republicans can pass mass surveillance on we the people

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm never going to forget when Optimus Prime died.

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 17 points 4 days ago
