I don't, that's not what I was saying.
I'm saying the obsession with 9/11 as a special evil event is contrary to reality where the US, under Trump, under Biden, under Obama, under Bush, under Clinton, etc is a terrorist state that downs civilian buildings casually.
That's not the part I'm arguing with you about. I mostly agree with you there.
I'm arguing with you about this:
I don't need to hear the specifics of any proposal here to be against it. Trump is a lying conman, and I wouldn't believe anything coming out of his or any of his administration's mouths anyway. I've seen what he does when given control, and that's enough.
If you are with the first part, you'd agree with the implied second part: it should be a simple memorial and should focus on the victims not on empire propaganda. This is what the museum has to say:
That's a very disgusting right wing take that ignores the actual motivations for the attacks, and denies the visitors the chance to reflect on what their country continues to support: worldwide terror.
It's not worth saving in its current state.
Do you think federal control under the current administration will make that problem better, or worse?
Jesus Christ.
It's already on his side, it's already "islamists hate us because of our freedom" level, no I don't think it'll get worse... What do you think he'll do to it?
Chintzy gold leaf everywhere and crying eagle statues. Probably a gift shop selling "terrorist hunting permits" with his face on them.
That's the natural evolution of its current state...
