Conversation

While I am a leftist, I’ve always been baffled by the “LOL 9/11” humor. It’s so vapid and immature to me.

It’s not exactly deep analysis to point out that US Gov was to blame as much as the hijackers and those that make the case that the attacks targeted financial and military strongholds are looking at it from a geopolitical standpoint, but neither make sense of or validate the childish look-at-me-I’m-edgy humor over the death. Yeah, who gaf about the buildings, but there were numerous innocent people killed.

What’s interesting to me, is that there’s a pattern I’ve noticed about the people that go hard on 9/11 jokes. They tend to invariably be the least likely to engage in substantive political conversation because even my moisturizer goes deeper than their ideology, and there’s no chance in hell they’ll pull up when fash show up to counter-demos.
