    Never forget this Tuesday September 11 with more than 3000 victims, in 1973, when the CIA helped an bloody Dictator Pinochet in his military coup against the democratic president Allende in Chile. Just 50 Years ago.

    They always talk about how planes are hitting buildings, but those buildings were never angels. Also they never talk about building-on-building crime.

    Plane lives matter.

    Respect to our officer planes.

      Gotta reinforce societal PTSD about terror attacks to keep the Military-Industrial Complex going…

    this would make a lot more sense if the two towers were part of a group of buildings that regularly demolished other buildings because they think they are being bad buildings.

      I’m sure at least one vulture capitalist organization operated out of the WTC at the time.

        I was actually thinking about this after posting. We do know that our government has been fucking with most of the world and especially the third world for decades before this and that there is some reap what you sow elements. I mean two wrongs don’t make a right but anyone who thinks we did not start what lead to this is naive at best.

          Yeah I’m not justifying terrorism and murder in any way but there’s definitely a reason Al Quaeda targeted these specific buildings. They stood for America’s imperialistic capitalism and taking them down was a very clear statement.

    I don’t subscribe to the whole never forget thing. But this is still in poor taste. 3000+ people did die that day.

      The shock value is the point. It’s supposed to juxtapose how the #alllivesmatter people feel about 9/11 VS deaths at the hands of police. The point of the meme is NOT that those 3000+ lost are not valuable, rather that #alllivesmatter is insensitive, not the point, and not useful.

    I know you’re trying to undermine all lives matter here but…

    3000 lives died that day and after all, all lives matter. These put the deaths of these buildings above the deaths of other buildings

      We had over 3k deaths a day during Covid, and I don’t see a memorial for those forgotten by their own country’s leadership.

        Don’t forget the 300k civilian deaths that followed the retaliation in the Middle East.

        It is like Americans think one American is worth 100 Afghan lives.
