They really are using 9/11 as a meme template now...
Japanese people and nuke memes: First time?
Demon Core memes too
The sad truth is every year less and less people will care. Do you feel the same intensity of emotions about pearl harbor? I know I don't.
I care more about the million Iraqis we murdered or at least enabled the death of in a global temper tantrum as we set the stage for a headlong descent into fascism.
People don't think much about Afghanistan already, yet that's the country that got invaded first after 9/11
To be fair, Afghanistan was actually involved in the 9/11 plot, unlike Iraq.
Yes, all 45 000 civilians killed by the US military were involved...

Funny, because it turned out to be Saudis. And Bin Laden himself was bunkered in Pakistan.
It simply killed many fewer people with an at least half-assed justification, instead of an outright lie to justify a neocrusade.
Turns out it was also a lie in Afghanistan and the people who financed ObL must be laughing their ass off about it!
What's really sad is that no one cares about Ashurbanipal's destruction of Elam anymore
Why does that sound like a Morrowind daedric temple?
Memes beyond measure, outlander.
It's not that sad. That shit was relentlessly exploited to manipulate people into supporting unjust oil wars.
Don't forgot manipulating people into accepting a surveillance state with open arms!
Early 2000s internet was so much more crass.
I'll never forget this ytmnd that was made literally during hurricane Katrina.
How long is long enough?
22.3 years according to South Park (for 9/11 it’s actually later this year)
Finally I would say. Americans have been extremely emotional about anything concerning the 11th of September for way too long. It's 22 years ago. Let the memery commence!
