So why isn’t OBL the big boogeyman in our national consciousness?

Why are there 1467 movies about WW2 Germany (and counting) and very few about Al Qaeda?

Could it be manipulation by entertainment media? Perhaps they don’t want everyone thinking about by OBL too much. Dunno.

Side note: Considering how our country decided to radically change itself after 9/11 it could be argued that Bin Landen was one of the more influential individuals for America.

inb4 I’m a leftist for asking questions.

Russians knew a long time ago that we would destroy ourselves from within. This has allowed seepage of undesirables in governance, media and throughout society

Nit - but it was the Soviets (communists) and they realized the best way to take America down was to infiltrate her major institutions (press, education, entertainment, and religion) and work internally to subvert the very meaning of being an American.


Any of those institutions appear infiltrated?

And here I thought the Soviets were Russians. You may need to remember half this board probably have no idea what Soviets were or stood for as they want similar in theory for people now.

WW2 Germany is a far more compelling story. Western Civilization at war with itself.

It sounds like you are hinting at some kind of conspiracy and I don't bemoan your curiosity on this one bit.

But from the entertainment perspective it's simply a matter of material. There were some really good movies made about the war on terror. Zero Dark Thirty stands out for me.

Well the left runs Hollywood so maybe you should be asking them and not this board full of people who don’t make movies.

The long term effects of wwII were way more consequential even to this day than OBL.

It allowed us to rebuild Europe which if you think about it a huge advantage to this day. We were also allowed to station soldiers etc.

WWII was our gateway into a Uniglobal superpower position.

You're going to need to define your terms. At first blush, your premise looks asinine.

Well, they didn't "know" shite because they was "doing" shite. They actively infiltrated as many areas as they could with their leftist bullshite, found useful idiots and let that cancer metastasize over the decades. Even after the Soviet Union fell, the cancer is still eating at the body of the U.S. from the inside out.

You share the same politics as the Soviets.


They didn’t even need to brainwash you.
