    Never forget this Tuesday September 11 with more than 3000 victims, in 1973, when the CIA helped an bloody Dictator Pinochet in his military coup against the democratic president Allende in Chile. Just 50 Years ago.

    They always talk about how planes are hitting buildings, but those buildings were never angels. Also they never talk about building-on-building crime.

    Plane lives matter.

    Respect to our officer planes.

    Some punisher logo painted on an airplane.

    I live in a house and I’ve never been hit by a Boeing 767. I don’t get why the World Trade Centre didn’t just follow the zoning laws and make itself small around planes. It knew planes were there and it CHOSE to antagonise them.

      As a plane, I’ve got nothing against buildings, but being out in public where a child might see them is where I draw the line

        Skyscrapers are grooming my children to be lawyers. They see this skyscraper flaunting itself in public and they want to work there. They think “I’ll be so free if I can just look out over the entire city”, that “I can be an individual who defines the skyline”. Well kids, 9/11 happens if we let this continue. It’s a war on our traditional ideas of buildings and the bible says we shouldn’t build tall towers.

      Gotta reinforce societal PTSD about terror attacks to keep the Military-Industrial Complex going…

      The shock value is the point. It’s supposed to juxtapose how the #alllivesmatter people feel about 9/11 VS deaths at the hands of police. The point of the meme is NOT that those 3000+ lost are not valuable, rather that #alllivesmatter is insensitive, not the point, and not useful.

          The point is that All Lives Matter is also in ‘poor taste’. About 250 Black people are shot by police every year, so there’s been well over 5,000 Black people killed since 9/11—yet the same people who give that tired old ‘all lives matter’ line are also the ones who say ‘never forget’.

              WRONG! memes pointing out the hypocrisies of Capitalism got me to leave the Libertarian Party. Bahaha memes are quite literally the new pamphlets, the fact that Capitalist are trying to seize the outlets they are shared through quite literally tells us that they change people’s minds.

              • Yeah pretty sure the memes isn’t why billionaires are going out of their way to shut down certain social media platforms. It’s an easy way to connect and start a movement. The fact that you think it’s because of memes is hilarious.

                  Gee I wonder how folks use social media as an easy way to connect and share ideas… if only there was a medium from which they could easily share concepts and ideas… alas all hope is lost cause we have no way to effectively share ideas in an easy to consume humorous format… 🤓

          Its called drawing parallels. The meme is saying that people who said ‘All Lives Matter’ as a response to ‘Black Lives Matter’ would be like saying ‘All Buildings Matter’ on September 12th 2001.

    this would make a lot more sense if the two towers were part of a group of buildings that regularly demolished other buildings because they think they are being bad buildings.

        I was actually thinking about this after posting. We do know that our government has been fucking with most of the world and especially the third world for decades before this and that there is some reap what you sow elements. I mean two wrongs don’t make a right but anyone who thinks we did not start what lead to this is naive at best.

          Yeah I’m not justifying terrorism and murder in any way but there’s definitely a reason Al Quaeda targeted these specific buildings. They stood for America’s imperialistic capitalism and taking them down was a very clear statement.

    I know you’re trying to undermine all lives matter here but…

    3000 lives died that day and after all, all lives matter. These put the deaths of these buildings above the deaths of other buildings

        Don’t forget the 300k civilian deaths that followed the retaliation in the Middle East.

        It is like Americans think one American is worth 100 Afghan lives.
