What if 9/11 happened today?

[tehpope]

If an event on the scale of 9/11 happened today, the woke left would celebrate it. If a ton of black people were killed, then they'd condemn it and blame white america for it.

This image would be everywhere online. You could probably take a shot everytime you saw it on twitter and get hella drunk.

There would be a lot of people in the streets holding up their phones recording the disaster for their Twitter or Instagram as many people die.

The media would scream that it's Trumps fault. If it were Muslims again it would be forbidden to blame them and you would be marked as Islamophobic.

Woke Leftist might ever celebrate it if it's a well known national monument.

In exchange for 9/11 happening in the Current Year, does that mean we had 20 more years of America Classic leading up to it?

If 9/11 hadn't happened, we wouldn't have had the "War on Terror", and the surveillance state very well might have been stillborn. We only signed away our country because of the blind panic we were in at the time.
And without the surveillance state, would the government have propped up social media and tech monopolies to the extent it does now? We might be looking at a very different internet landscape.
Without the wars that 9/11 sparked, would Bush Derangement Syndrome have been so fanatical? Would we have had today's apologetics for the most fanatical strains of Islam, without the need to throw it in the face of "Bushitler"? And conversely, might moderate Islam have aligned itself with the "church-and-pickup-truck" Republicans rather than the Democratic ethnoparty?
Maybe without Bush-the-warmonger as the spark that ignited the powderkeg, the worst ideas of the '90s wouldn't have been resurrected as SJW.

It's very possible that if 9/11 happened in 2021 rather than 2001, it would have been in a nation that had had 20 more years of growing together rather than apart, and one where technology had grown down a different path that didn't amplify toxicity to the maximum we've achieved today. Maybe we would've simply mourned the dead, prosecuted the terrorists in court just like we did in 1993, and rebuilt the towers.

Is very telling how awful the current socio-political climate has become when we start reminiscing about the most tragic attack in America history.

Outside of 9/11, the 2000's were way better than the freaking present, that's for sure.

This is my thoughts exactly, if 9/11 had never happened America would be in a far better state than it is today, so it's hard to really imagine.

Assuming though that somehow woke culture still existed in the state it does today, then the left would be saying that either America deserved 9/11, we brought it on ourselves, hail Bin Laden as a freedom fighter against the white patriarchy or they would simply say it was inside job by Trump so that he could assume absolute power like they said in reality about Bush.

You make me want to cry with that "20 more years of America Classic" comment, what a beautiful thought that is.

The next day we'd be getting articles like "We need to talk about how the twin towers attack disproportionately affected Black And Brown bodies"

The next day

You mean "before the second plane hit".

Apolitical citizens and Republicans who didn't lose their integrity would stood up for America either way, but it would be much difficult to do so today than back in 2001, because the media is hugely anti-president, they would do anything to not allow the majority of Americans to team up with Trump and his administration.
And no, America didn't deserve what happened on 9/11/2001, even despite the atrocities they've committed in Yugoslavia two years earlier. Ordinary people are not to blame, no one has a right to take someone's life, American lives are no exception.

It would be quite telling how many would show how much anti-american they are if that happened today tho. I mean, who the hell in a non-clown world, even if that person had problems with the country, would say "good riddance" to a terrorist attack where thousands of innocents were killed? We seem to be in the timeline where there would be a good number of those that would show more sympathy to the "brave dead terrorists" than the americans they took to the graves with them, which is absolutely disgusting.

And America did really bad shit, I will be the first to admit that, however, that doesnt justify getting more innocents involved and killed, thus making things much freaking worse for both sides.

Considering with what has happen with the riots throughout in June with at best it will be memory-holed with in a few months at best and at worse it will like the reaction somewhat akin to what happen with the riots with companies and organizations exploiting the event under the name of equality while the consequences of with be forgotten due how social media functions as a endless wave of information with along with other people said has said with celebrities and people online with try to use it to owned drumpf and America the hundred time along reporting and banning anyone who has says anything other what is consider the popular opinion. In other words people will see it as tool for clout and money and the people who died will be forgotten outside family and friends.
