I’m genuinely asking. In a lot of other countries, it’s common to hear people say that 9/11 was used as a pretext for war in the Middle East, and that elements within the US government either allowed it to happen or actively helped make it happen. But when I talk to everyday Americans online, most seem to shut that down fast. Is that just mainstream conditioning, or do people really believe that no elite in power would ever sacrifice their own citizens for political/financial gain? I’m just looking for honest takes on whether Americans are still in denial about what their government is capable of.
lol 911 wasnt that, it allowed for the unabashed supports of imperialism in the middle east. no soul would dare to defy that ominous position that they should bomb the fuck out of every brown civilian to the east of jerusalem.
