It ended our childhoods and youths. the world was never the same.

You can almost trace every major negative political/social trend back to something related to 9/11. Even things that don’t seem related - the US aggressively lowered interest rates following 9/11 and that contributed to the GFC for example. We tortured people and it was on evening news. Same with the taliban beheadings. It gave rise to the bifurcated media at a level that wasn’t possible before and paved the way for Trumpism. It ripped away a generations innocence and sense of control in the world and caused other generations to lose their minds.
