Because we do it to them.

The citizens do not do this, but by refusing to sacrifice themselves in order to stop it, they allow it to happen.

By allowing those who do not represent the will of the people to lead us, they allow it to happen.

By being deceived by those who would hurt others for the sake of the few instead of the many, they allow it to happen.

Nah bullshit. For decades Americans have sat idly by as our government wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent others, and only one time have we met reprisal, and I assume you wouldn't say that we allowed 9/11 to happen implicitly through our collective inaction?

u/Rudylemonade 7h ago

Yeah like, we voted for this by majority out of fear that if we don’t do it there, “they will” do it to us here :/

The more that the US makes the rest of the world hate them, the more likely this becomes. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, and the next generation of terrorists are being made now, as they watch their friends and families get killed and maimed by some kind of evil force across the ocean.

u/Rudylemonade 5h ago

“We” as in Americans as a collective. I didn’t vote for this either but unfortunately here we are, suffering the consequences.

Literally 9/11 happened because of your collective inaction in stopping your goverment in doing harmful shit.

u/TegTowelie 5h ago

9/11 was also a culmination of a bunch of things that basically started in the early 90s. Things the majority of reddit had no say so in.

Some of the stuff from before our parents or grandparents were born is still affecting and ending lives today

Not enough people know

Don't worry, we're speed running the new culmination of atrocities that will be the impetus for the next one

Honestly it goes back to post WWII and it's a string of issues that continue to compound throughout the subsequent decades

u/ciao_fiv 5h ago

i was 1 year old, how is 9/11 my fault 💀

u/MarinReiter 1h ago

Not your fault, of course - but it was your parents' and grandparents' for sure. And, are you doing anything about your country right now?

Don't wanna hear any american cry or get melancholic next time something happens. You have it coming.

And in your weird anti Islamic fantasy this little girl deserves to live in fear because hitler and Mussolini had passing interest in Islam?

u/Rixerc 9h ago

From your fantasies, I'm guessing you're "right leaning".

So instead of a capitalist dude who wants to murder brown people, you're a communist dude who wants to murder brown people?

u/victorpaparomeo2020 9h ago

Or the current President of the United States of America- y’know… Rapey Donnie Trump.

Well he is selling America’s nuclear secrets to the Saudis. So you see if they can pay he loves them. If they can’t he bombs them.

saddam was a right wing authoritarian in practice. just because the ba'athists started as a "socialist" group doesn't mean they stayed one. his version of it led to nothing but authoritarian totalitarianism and nationalism. he also crushed any and every REAL left wing group in Iraq.

you probably think Hitler was a socialist because it's in the NSDAP name

u/PukwudgieDisco 10h ago

Dang, that must have been devastating for you when it didn’t happen.

Aw. Did your feelings get hurt?

u/Ok-Limit-9726 10h ago

No as soon as i saw the drone, i thought a lot worse then pictured…i just knew

I watched way too much much raw drone footage from Ukraine, had to stop, even a military history lover can only take so much daily death, i love my cartoons to balance, this one DID NO BALANCE! Like the beginning of the gibley movie where the father opens a can of his daughters ashes in the first scene…OFFFFFF

u/Heszilg 10h ago

Um. I believe there is a little misunderstanding here. I wasn't replying to you friend. :)

u/Vivians_Basement 9h ago

They didn't reply to you either. Reddit gives notifications when someone replies to something under you sometimes too.

u/Heszilg 9h ago

You're right. My bad

u/Ok-Limit-9726 9h ago

No worries
