The ultimate cause was US “national interests,” which have only ever been the interests of the the oligarchs who run the country. They have always run the country. “National security” does not secure anyone’s safety; it secures the profits of imperialists. The Department of Homeland Security isn’t protecting us, it is cranking up the police state to protect the capitalist class from the working class revolting against grinding neoliberalism.
The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder "the Bush" was involved!
Oh man, that pic goes fucking HARD! 😘👌✊

Tbf, I had no idea it was going to be Neoliberalism Central when I made the account 😄
Hop on over to a better instance, comrade!

Never forget this terrible 9/11 with 3000 victims..... in Chile 1973 U.S.-backed coup against leftist President Salvador Allende, democratic elected, to create an bloody dictatorship with the US friendly Pinochet. Never forget.
Cola Corp makes a Never Forget 9/11/73 shirt.
The real hero's are the terrorists we made along the way?
Heroes. It has a plural form.
I'm aware. It's part of the ridiculousness just like the OP.
I'm more offended by the shit spelling of "heroes".
And I was nearby NYC on that day and watched the second tower fall (largely as a shape in the smoke and particulate cloud).
Killing a bunch of civillians is now heroism?
🤔
According to the IDF it is.
I believe they’re speaking of all the medical workers, firefighters etc…
The OOP yes, the person who shared this here is suggesting the terrorists were almost heroes, but not quite.
Online discourse in a nutshell.
I think he meant Bush for saying that Christmas shopping was a patriotic duty
I'm surprised nobody mentioned the real heroes that day; the first responders who are still dealing with the consequences of helping https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_arising_from_the_September_11_attacks
They're heroes until they ask for help on their medical bills. After that they're just freeloading degenerates.
Killing innocent people === HERO
Because the best way to stop US imperialism is to drag them into and/or start a war that only prospered US imperialism.

Citations Needed podcast: Episode 13: The Always Stumbling US Empire “Stumbling”, “sliding”, “drawn into” war––the media frequently assumes the US is bumbling its way around the world. The idea that the United States operates in “good faith” is taken for granted for most of the American press while war is always portrayed as something that happens to the US, not something it seeks out.

Well see, there’s your problem.
