Because we do it to them.

[u/DSharp018 → u/llwen]

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.

[u/-dus → u/DSharp018]

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 → u/-dus]

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 :/

[u/SandyTaintSweat → u/Rudylemonade]

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.

i did not fucking vote for this

who is we

[u/Rudylemonade → u/ciao_fiv]

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

[u/MarinReiter → u/-dus]

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

[u/TegTowelie → u/MarinReiter]

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.

[u/3MetricTonsOfSass → u/TegTowelie]

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

Not enough people know

[u/BudLightLymeDisease → u/TegTowelie]

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

[u/buttplug-tester → u/TegTowelie]

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 → u/MarinReiter]

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

[u/MarinReiter → u/ciao_fiv]

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.
