      I was alive when Allende was overthrown by Pinochet in Chile in 9/11 coup! Wait, we are talking about the US 9/11?

      I was alive when it happened. The only thing that healed my trauma was the memes

        9/11 Never Forget. They didn’t specify HOW we should remember. Trauma and memes go together like jet fuel and the inability to melt steel beams

      I was 18. We were making too soon jokes within a week.

      Well, were you alive when the US retaliated by killing 100 times as many innocent civilians over the actions of a few?

      3000 lives is nothing compared to 300 000, even if they are American.

      So how about you let us make our god damn memes?

        How about when the number of US soldiers lost eclipsed the 9/11 deaths.

      Oh noes some people died! Way more people have died through covid, the ukraine&russia war, the new gaza massacre, of hunger on africa every year… It might have affected you because it happened nearby, but you are not special for having things like that happen to you.
