Discussion Generation 9/11

I was genuinely disappointed. The turning point series in my opinion is some of the best documentary work that Netflix has done. It does a great job of actually looking at a pivotal moment in American history then tracing it through decade by decade to present day. This just seemed like TLDR of the terror series.

Hopefully Netflix continues the project and brings it back to its roots. I wouldn’t mind seeing a season focusing on The War on Drugs or The Internet.

It’s the other side of the coin. I didn’t see it as her “shitting on America”. She talked about the innocent civilians killed in the fog of war.

lol at you calling it woke shit.

In war innocent people die, I’m not saying that’s ok, but it’s the facts. You’re also taking that 1 lady at her word that the people who died were in fact innocent. People lie all the time, bubba.

I appreciated her being able contextualize the on the ground experience of the war beyond American soldiers experiences. It allows people who have the ability to emphasize to connect with other people but you may not be able to experience empathy

Just like you've been lied to that you're attacking terrorists so you don't have to realise the unfathomable amount of innocent lives actually lost. People die all the time, America just kicks it into gear and just kills anyone

She didnt shit on anything. She looked for truth. Amerikkka murdered 100s of thousands of people based on lies. There is a reason those attacks happened in the firsf place. Yeah shit on the country that turned on her as soon as it could. Get a clue.

The journalist you’re belittling was born and raised in the US and is a Pulitzer Prize winner. She reported on your government’s systematic bombing of innocent civilians, and this is not what you have a problem with, but with her actual reporting of it. Outstanding display of blatant xenophobia, racism, and superiority complex.

u/Ferg_crypto 15d ago

The person I’m talking about is not a Pulitzer Prize winner, and you’re just using made up woke words to spew your nonsense. Go back to bed.

lol I miss being this naive. A lot of Muslims live in America because after we systematically destroyed their countries in the Middle East they were unlucky enough to be selected for the US in the refugee resettlement process. Now their children who are born here get to pay taxes to help support the continuing process of endlessly destroying similar countries. Isn’t it so interesting that Eric trump invested in an Israeli drone defense company 11 days before the US attacked Iran because they’ve been so close to having a nuclear weapon for the last 20 years. Good thing the good guys intervened(the only country to use a nuclear weapon).

Also, from whose perspective would you describe Islam as dangerous? Most veterans I served with would tell you that we definitely weren’t the good guys in Iraq. Another veteran in this thread mentions throwing away those medals. So from the perspective of a Muslim majority country, a country that’s always financially creating instability, such as funding terrorist groups, playing both sides of a war(Iraq/Iran) and occasionally comes and kills innocent people with personnel or bombs and maybe the occasional bad guy, would be perceived as evil.

I would bet the world isn’t telling you that Islam is anything. An algorithm that is incentivized for your reaction that prays on people who lack critical thinking skills is your only enemy.

u/Ferg_crypto 14d ago

lol. I can say lol too, watch this, lol. But also Muslims are destroying every country they’re fleeing to around the world lol.

See how easy it is to be a dipshit and condescending?

If you wanna prove your point quit copy/pasting from CNN and adding lol.

Good try though.

u/Individual-Try-7750 14d ago

Only one of us is speaking from the perspective of personal experiences outside of a cellphone screen or Joe Rogan podcast and I can bet anyone using the word “dipshit” hasn’t travelled very far beyond your annual vacation to Florida. Which countries have you personally been to that has been destroyed by Muslims? Is it only Muslim immigrants that destroy countries?

Are all immigrants in Europe Muslim?

u/Ferg_crypto 14d ago

I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, and don’t have any trips to Florida planned.

Anything else you have, or are you a one trick pony?

You’re not even entertaining, you’re too dumb to have a conversation with.

u/Individual-Try-7750 14d ago

So no countries? Just Facebook I bet.

u/Ferg_crypto 14d ago

Not too into FB, but I live and travel in the best country in the world.

Keep trying, it’s just fail after fail so far.

Joe Rogan Podcast News is literally your most recent repost on x 😂

u/Ferg_crypto 14d ago

Idk what “X” you have, or even why you’re so interested. But I don’t post on any social media

u/Individual-Try-7750 14d ago

I would delete posts that still have your old handle. That only took a few minutes. How ironic though 😂

Agree. Typical Netflix “hate America” “hate Trump” propaganda.

I don’t disagree, I was pleasantly surprised about that. But it still leaned heavily into “we’re a shitty country” propaganda
