it was a pretty common sentiment at the time, but you got fired or cancelled for pointing it out

Really funny how chuds clutch pearls about cancel culture now after the whole Dixie chicks debacle lol
Cancel culture is when I can't say the n-word >:(
The hunt for bin Laden is truly one of the funniest things to happen this century
The US funds and trains the dude, he gives simple request to fuck off, the US refuses, he kills 3000 people.
Then they spent 10 years and trillions of dollars and millions of Muslim lives to find him. They finally killed him while he was sleeping and refuse to publish any footage of the killing.
Meanwhile, his death unleashed dozens of terrorist attacks in Europe, dozens of new ISIS factions in Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
I know the US’ goal is to permanently stay in these regions, but the optics are so pathetic. You can’t kill a man and when you did, the consequences were worse.
They finally killed him while he was sleeping and refuse to publish any footage of the killing
yeah the wildest thing to me is how they allegedly just dumped his body into the gulf. like there's no proof at all that they actually killed him, no leaked photos or anything, which combined with all the people claiming they were the one who killed him just leaves it wide open to conspiracy theories. I remember where I was when they announced he was dead, almost 10 years after 9/11, and it felt like no one here in the US really cared then and it feels like no one really cares now. the war machine just keeps on chugging along
Less blowback when you’re in brazil than in the US but still based.
Holy shit that's dangerously based
Ward Churchill went off on the O'Reilly show saying America deserved it for all the shit we've done since forever. He said the people who died in the towers were "little Eichmanns." He was a tenured professor but that didn't stop the University of Colorado from removing him. Pretty sure he's blacklisted.
wtf based churchill?
The one good Churchill
He said the people who died in the towers were “little Eichmanns.”
Eh, even if he means that in the sense of capitalism in general, still not good. Plenty of working class people died their share on that day.
Doesn't change the fact that the first sentence would have gotten him blacklisted anyway, of course.
He walked back the Eichmann line but, like you said, the horse was already out of the barn at that point.
Yeah most people who died in 9/11 are more comparable to Germans who died in the bombing of Dresden than top-level Nazis. He was probably just being hyperbolic to make a point so, not literally it, but based imo.
I think he won a lawsuit years later against his University firing, he was awarded like $1, but he wasn't looking for financial gain but justice.
Sentiment like this would have gotten you scorned if not lynched.
