I wouldn't disagree normally, except that Hexbear users have a very real chance of believing that 9/11 was in some way deserved. Context quickly sours jokes which are already borderline.
There’s really something for everyone to hate. His faux socialism shtick doesn’t work so well while he whores himself out like the good little capitalist he is.
It's almost like they're trying on purpose to be as inflammatory as possible, I know they're not and they're 100% serious which makes it even crazier, I mean this is the kind of shit edge-lord teenagers say, just goes to show just how sad and immature these losers are.
Wait, are you talking about https://lemmygrad.ml/ ? These people are serious right? I take that the people of MeanwhileonGrad community are not marxists but somewhat anti-marxists?
They were saying that compared to the damage the US has inflicted on other countries, including innocent civilian populations, the damage done by the 9/11 attacks is much smaller
I don't think you can really compare terrorist acts on a tit for tat basis. Two wrongs don't make a right. The last 20 years has proved it didn't really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit.
Like were the people who died in 9/11 directly responsible for the horrible shit their government did? No.
Why was the attack not on a political building anyway?

For their brand of humor, this one is actually pretty funny (and blatant so it works in text).
But it's very probable that it will draw comments actually advocating for atrocities

The people featured in this image are from Hexbear, but they are closely related to lemmygrad. Both Hexbear and Lemmygrad are fully serious
The community here is quite diverse, some users are marxists, some are liberals, neoliberals, environmentalists, etc~
Maddison@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 2y
but you all oppose glorifying dictatorships.
I will drink to that :')

Not yet, no. I have doubts the lemmy devs want to implement that.
Maddison@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
yeah? do you have a link please? I don't get it completely, but I guess I want to see it for myself
goat@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
You can access all instances by visiting "Instances" at the bottom of each Instance page.

Not to mention the attacks were a result of the US meddling in foreign affairs.

The same thing can be said about Japan. A lot more people died by the hands of the Japanese Empire during WW2 than those two nukes did.

They were saying that compared to the damage the US has inflicted on other countries, including innocent civilian populations, the damage done by the 9/11 attacks is much smaller

The Pentagon is a government building. Everyone seems to focus on the towers and forgets American Airlines Flight 77.
Regardless, the point of terrorism is to cause terror, not necessarily to kill people who “deserve” it.

That's true I did forget the Pentagon building because I'm an idiot

Oh, good, whataboutism for terrorist attacks by Saudi extremists on unambiguous civilian targets. Guess this is left praxis now.
