Weird.
I don't think remembering or mourning or even being sombre about 9/11 is nationalistic or bad. I'm not even American, and I'm not a very sympathetic person but I think 9/11 was obviously a tragedy, I mean, 2,750 people are dead and a very cool building was destroyed. Seems like something that should be remembered. Obviously the media is going to obsess over it every year, they'll give the people what they think they want. I'm not sure how that's a problem for the individual though?
It doesn't have to have anything to do with politics, it's about the people. Separate it from everything else and it's just a lot of innocent people who died, I don't see the problem paying respect to these people even if that's completely pointless and meaningless.
It seems pretty weird to me, to see a 30 or 40 year old guy make a post implying that regular American citizens deserved to be killed because of actions their government took.
Jokes about 9/11 are obviously funny, but only because it's black and transgressive or whatever, but if people actually don't give a fuck about the 2,750 people who died then that's sort of a matter of concern really.
I think there's a sort of an american-guilt these days, especially with liberals, you know, like they're afraid to seem even a little bit nationalistic in remembering this event. Obviously you don't want to look like some right wing weirdo, but it's definitely always OK to feel something for some humans who are dead.
I'm a tiny bit surprised by Beyond Unreal people's apathy about this, you don't have to care, but I don't see the point in advertising the fact that you don't care when there is people who do care. It's like a contest to see who's the most edgy or something.
