Unpopular opinion: It wasn’t as bad as Americans are making it out to be.
Why I say that? The loss of life during the pandemic exceeded a 9/11 worth of excess deaths every day and America was doing fuck all about it and arguing about masks. I think more people are broken up about it because it was a highly visible target and showed that America could be vulnerable.
What I will say is that I’m more pissed that it completely eroded our privacy and made casual racism more visible.
The difference always is, 9/11 was done to them. Covid they did to themselves.
We'll kill our own, but it thats our right and ain't nobody gonna take it from us.
Explains school shootings…
More people died because of the air than due to the towers falling. BBC source
