holy shit these are the same thousands of complete nothing stories every single time, posted as if they were some profound insights.

“I was in first period. Then, the teacher said our nation was under attack. Then I learned that planes hit the World Trade Center. Then I went home.”

Or, the West Coast version:

“I woke up and turned on the TV. The second plane had already hit. I watched the events unfold on the TV.”

jfc at this point I am convinced Americans are pathological narcissists

I was in the primordial soup

I remember living in the US at time and the teacher turned on the TV for us to see for whatever reason. Every kid was worried and I was just playing along because I felt complete apathy. We then got let out from school early and this one neighbor get depressed for a month over it. Heard lots of rants about how the Middle East should be carpet bombed as well.

Leftists who believe in conspiracies about 9/11 beyond “it was blowback” which already sounds like a conspiracy when you lay out the facts, but are all true.

That and the shorting of airline stocks right before it, but maybe some gulf state guys knew something was happening idk. That’s about the most extreme conspiracy I personally believe honestly

The Bush family and the bin Laden family were business partners before the attacks, so I imagine a lot of gulf state oligarchs had inside information because they’re friendly to both domestic terrorists and Wall Street.
