The memes will continue as long as people are offended by them. Americans really need it beaten into them that their precious 9/11 is really nothing special and they commit a worse crime weekly

I totally agree that people need to be educated about all of the disgusting shit our government enacts daily, but I guess I see the memes as potentially entrenching their beliefs even further. I'm not anti-9/11 memes, it just makes me feel uncomfortable but I can also sit with that myself

9/11 was an attack on America yes, but the World Trade Center as the name implies is a center for trade for the planet. Many people from many countries lost their lives. That location was chosen for a purpose. America sucks, but don't disregard the others who were impacted.
