Can we stop making fun of 9/11 here?
(hexbear.net)
I still love how these were made within hours of the first plane hitting
It was worth every second of dial up months later discovering these
Logging in to something awful, typing in "9/11" and seeing what posts showed up was always a treat.

I'll never make fun of the reactionary counter-revolution that brought down the Allende government on 9/11/1973 
I would never joke about 9/11 to someone who actually lost friends or family during the event. On an individual level, it really was an unspeakable tragedy and immensely traumatizing for thousands of people.
But meanwhile the US government will still not apologize for nuking Japan twice, pulverizing primary schools and killing 30x as many people in the blink of an eye. So yeah, on that scale 9/11 is a hilarious joke indeed.
Just the amount of cancer that spiked over the years following the attack was horrible. : p
It's a consequence of war that I don't see discussed very much - Burning buildings, collapsing buildings, the chemicals left over from explosives, various fuels and other chemicals, all take a toll on the survivors of modern armed conflict and I rarely if ever see that accounted for. Like Fallujah, with the spike in birth defects after the battle in 2004. It doesn't have to just be from DU. There are many other toxic materials that are released in to the air when a building is destroyed.
As someone who’s lost people during 9/11 and saw the towers fall from New Jersey… you can make fun of me for all of the above.

3,000 innocents vs 5,000 American soldiers KIA vs 500k--2mil dead Afghanis and Iraqis...
I stand with Flava Flav--911 is still a joke
sorry the second you said 9/11 i started laughing uncontrollably
The worst thing about 9/11 is people want to make it into some kind of conspiracy or terrorist attack. The universe can't just be a chaotic place where things randomly and arbitrarily happen. Planes can't crash and it be a totally normal mechanical/atmospheric thing, even though these same people acknowledge that happens multiple times per year. It has to be some Scooby Doo mystery where 19 people "hijacked" planes or the bad guy of the week did it to be evil.
It wasn't random or arbitrary, it was a direct consequence of amerikkka's foreign policy
You're right, but the comment above was something of an absurdist joke.

ironically, 9/11 is Airplane! for millennials. People born after us will forever be confused as to why we find it so funny
Comedy = tragedy x time speedrun

I love how the most unanimously evil person in the world to every American was a gamer weeb with a laptop full of hentai
It's a pretty decent refutation of Great Man Theory. bin Laden was just a guy who had the right connections to get the attack plan rolling. The hijackers were just 19 random dudes, not commandos or spec ops. Their plan worked because it was a vector of attack that hadn't been seriously considered and no one was really trying to defend against.

America didn't deserve 9/11. Here, i said it.
My reasoning:
It deserved much, much, MUCH worse for all the shit it did and keeps doing.

But it was very funny 
My favorite part about 9/11 was how liberals kept practically quoting Osama bin Laden's justification for 9/11 to invoke collective punishment against the Russians over Ukraine.

we shouldn't make fun of 9/11 because then 9/11 might get its feelings hurt
