re: Disappointed in the dwindling significance of 9-11

It fades, as do all historical events. I could careless about pearl harbor

Back then there was white democrats, nowadays it's white liberals, completely different. Add many more immigrants that are here illegally. There's just a much higher percentage of people who don't care anymore.

White liberals laughed when cities were being burned down and residents harassed by mobs during 2020 riots. But to them, rich, white politicians being scared on Jan 6 was more significant, and worse than citizens being killed in their home cities, and 9/11.

What gets under my skin are the shitty memes mocking the event. Had I said some shite like FDR DID PEARL HARBOR, my entire family would have backhanded me away from the table. But now that garbage is celebrated.

Idk. It's no different than pearl harbor. Or the Kennedy assassination

We have entire generations now who either weren't alive or were too young to have any real emptional stock in the day

It happens. It's been over 20 years

To be fair, a lot of these youngbloods weren’t even born yet when 9/11 occurred. It makes sense that they wouldn’t have the same emotions as those who watched it unfold and felt the world change for the worse.

It's unrealistic to expect Gen Z to be as impacted by 9/11 as Boomers, Gen X and most Millennials who remember where they were when they heard the news.

But yet we are expected by some to focus on things from even further back like slavery and slave owners generations ago (accept for Harris’s family) as some debt white people have to keep repaying.

Anyway I don’t think the exact same impact as those who experienced 9-11 at the time is what is being expected in this thread. OP mentions many students not even talking about 9-11 and the ROTC not doing anything. Maybe community events at fire stations is unrealistic to keep happening as firemen have turned over, but it not being a focus in schools or with ROTC students is a joke.

These kids’ parents likely were alive on 9-11 (along with most teachers). We are told by the left too much of a focus on 9-11 makes muslims fearful. That has been a big part of it being downplayed in the media which would include media viewed by adults of the age who would remember that day and not just current students.

I did see a picture posted today of a fire truck crossing one of the bridges to help at the towers, and it was likely their last picture as all of them perished trying to save others on 9-11. Exact same impact? Again no and not point, but that picture and day should mean more than it currently does.

This is true.
No one really does much in honoring historical tragedies such as Pearl Harbor after those that lived through it pass.

9-11 events also make muslims uncomfortable and live in fear…

As it should. Most destructive religion on the planet. They kill each other more than anyone else does and more than they do anyone else.

Correct. I totally understand students not being impacted by it.

Funny, during one of my discussions today, a student wanted to shift focus from 9-11 to slavery because “that was bad too”. It just shows what social media feeds these kids.
