The US was attacked once on its own soil 25 years ago and will never shut up about it

Meanwhile, it has bombed 10 countries since 9/11, none of which were responsible

I feel like it's more than 10

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

the others were just coups or economic warfare!

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

10 countries that we know of

Technically correct you only get one twenty fifth anniversary

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] billgamesh@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

true. so if we do 9/11 again we can have another 25 year anniversary

if we do 9/11 every year we'll eventually be able to have a 25th anniversary every year think-about-it

We can do another one in 2040 to celebrate the Kirkening

Bit Idea: Redo 9/11 every 25 years including an accurate recreation of the towers and planes. 3000 volunteers get the honor of being in the buildings etc. If enough people don't sign up, we can use some crash test dummies. No conspiracy theories or anything because its all very open and plain. Heck we can put every country on a big wheel and spin it and it'll be their fault this time.

I call making the freedom fries for the 2051 event.

This except it's the richest 3000 people in the country being forced to participate

okay no for real people this is a movie that would make money

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

9/11 re-enactment purists can't decide whether

  • the controlled demolitions are a necessary inaccuracy for a consistent final result
  • the controlled demolitions are a critical component of an accurate re-enactment

You're basically on something in the vein of Stephen King's The Long Walk but if it actually had any worthwhile political statement to be made whatsoever without being a Vietnam allegory that gives literally 0 shit about the vietnamese

The wheel of fault is the best part... and the idea that there'll be at least one food stand on site selling Freedom Fries... lol.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 week ago

the first and the last

[–] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Instead he plans to make it law to memorialize the real 9/11.
