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.
169The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder "the Bush" was involved!

The hijackers were motivated by slaughtering the infidel and entry into the afterlife, having spent far too much time in mosques. Bin Laden was motivated by an ideology borne of cultural hatred of the West and secularism.
I know I know, you're from the LARP instance, so it's tempting to believe US foreign policy is behind literally everything bad, but the world is just more complex than that ✈️🏢🏢

Proceeds to give the absolute most naive surface level interpretation
Ok then.
33You’re the one removing material reality from the picture and chalking it up to a culturo-religious clash of ideas. You’re the one simplifying things down vibes.

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.
157The real hero's are the terrorists we made along the way?
29Heroes. It has a plural form.
18I'm aware. It's part of the ridiculousness just like the OP.

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).
29Actually they misspelled 'ware', they're talking about who the nation's biggest hero is afraid of.

9I'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
6They're heroes until they ask for help on their medical bills. After that they're just freeloading degenerates.

Killing innocent people === HERO

Citations Needed podcast: Episode 13: The Always Stumbling US Empire “Stumbling”, “sliding”, “drawn into” war––the media frequently assumes the US is bumbling its way around the world. The idea that the United States operates in “good faith” is taken for granted for most of the American press while war is always portrayed as something that happens to the US, not something it seeks out.
I am not even anti US imperialism
Well see, there’s your problem.
