The ultimate cause was US “national interests,” which have only ever been the interests of the the oligarchs who run the country. They have always run the country. “National security” does not secure anyone’s safety; it secures the profits of imperialists. The Department of Homeland Security isn’t protecting us, it is cranking up the police state to protect the capitalist class from the working class revolting against grinding neoliberalism.

The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder "the Bush" was involved!

I can’t like this post or the pic enough. Hard af. I’ve been shouting this from the rooftops since 2001.

Never forget this terrible 9/11 with 3000 victims..... in Chile 1973 U.S.-backed coup against leftist President Salvador Allende, democratic elected, to create an bloody dictatorship with the US friendly Pinochet. Never forget.

The real hero's are the terrorists we made along the way?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Heroes. It has a plural form.

[–] FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz 23 points 3 weeks ago

I'm aware. It's part of the ridiculousness just like the OP.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm more offended by the shit spelling of "heroes".

And I was nearby NYC on that day and watched the second tower fall (largely as a shape in the smoke and particulate cloud).

Killing a bunch of civillians is now heroism?

🤔

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 62 points 3 weeks ago

According to the IDF it is.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe they’re speaking of all the medical workers, firefighters etc…

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 3 weeks ago

The OOP yes, the person who shared this here is suggesting the terrorists were almost heroes, but not quite.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You almost got the joke. You were right there

Online discourse in a nutshell.

I think he meant Bush for saying that Christmas shopping was a patriotic duty

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the real heroes that day; the first responders who are still dealing with the consequences of helping https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_arising_from_the_September_11_attacks

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

They're heroes until they ask for help on their medical bills. After that they're just freeloading degenerates.
