‘‘Society’s innocence and optimism’’ lol
Those who think that are rich people in the west, the rest of the planet was living in horrible times, like in Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union, Latin America, Africa, etc.
After 9/11 all the burger ppl were like “omg why would anyone do this to us” and just a few months earlier they were publishing the most bloodthirsty ass shit about Serbia and then have the gall to be upset when most of the third world erupted in celebration
They cry and cope about 2 buildings for 20+ years while they destroyed whole countries and killed and tortured millions and still do to this day
Technically 3 buildings but yes
“A whole generation could no longer sleep soundly at night, because of that image of the twin towers falling.” – pretty much every TV program on 9/11 ever made.
Yeah, if you were a total idiot with no sense of reality. I was a kid at the time, and I knew perfectly well Al-Qaeda wasn’t going to fly a jet into my house. And my father pointed out (it lost him a lot of friends) that because of the US military, a whole lot of people in the world did have to worry about what some airplane would do to them while they were sleeping.
