An apt comparison to 9/11

What? In that they deserved it?

explaining blowback to an American "Imagine a 9/11"

[-] Milksteaks@midwest.social 49 points 1 year ago

Blowback starter kit now with more blowback!Now with the greats such as: Pearl harbor, assassination of Franz Duke Ferdinand, and the rise of Hitlers nazi party. But wait there's more! Such as everybody's favorite, 9/11 and the Jan 2021 Trump insurrection

This actually is an apt comparison to 9/11 because in both cases the target countries unambigously deserved it.

At some point some propaganda came out that this was "a festival for peace". Looks like CNN reported it but later retracted it. Damage already done as it got parroted by other media

You can just make up stuff, say it's from an "anonymous source", then retract it and maintain your credibility by blaming it on the source you made up.

It’s really wild how hard the media is trying to emotionally anchor this for Americans. They reference 9/11 AND Pearl Harbor in that list.

I have no way of really knowing, but I strongly suspect that Average-America’s regard for Israel is far more negative or at least neutral than it might have been a decade ago, and the way the media is going so hard in framing the narrative feels like they know it.

If I was at that music festival I would have voted for Gaza militants not to attack it. I don't want to ruffle any feathers but I think this really detracted from the musical experience.

Libs are getting the perfect opportunity to see whether they would've been the people supporting the native Americans in their struggle or the people who colonized them.

Liberals love to support indigenous resistance in the abstract but the second shit gets real it’s all about the fucking nuance and complexity and how dare they actually do anything.

Hey it actually is though. Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen to bring the US into a conflict it wanted to be a part of but didn't really have a good reason for. Israel wants to say those mean Palestinians are bloodthirsty animals and treats them as such then acts shocked when people brought to the brink lash out and use that as an excuse for incredible violence with little to no repercussions internationally because "they're just defending themselves"

A 9/11, a Pearl Harbor, a Holocaust even. Some people are already classifying it as a mass extinction event. Read here why those festival goers are aptly compared to the dinosaurs.

A reminder,

If this shooting cause you to stop supporting the liberation of Palestine, then you don't value Palestinian lives as much as you do Israelis.

Not enough energy to make the meme, but the same people on social media that want to kill all the muslims and let God sort them out are also mad at China about the Uyghurs.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

Some Israeli posted "fuck them, I hope they get the Xinjiang treatment" and everyone was like wow lmao that's cool dude you want to make Palestine a bustling tourist destination
