I keep seeing Democrats/Republicans complaining that hasan piker said the US deserved 9/11. (Which is contested that he said it I know.)
But dont a lot of people agree with that idea in whole or part? Or, have sympathy for the idea and why someone would think that way? or believe a conspiracy theory that some component of the US state directly caused or allowed the sept 11 attacks to happen?
Even back at the time, I believe it was Ward Churchill who evoked Malcolm X when saying it was “chickens coming home to roost”. And sure he was shitcanned for it but I really dont think it is such an untenable position to take these days.
It feels like the new “but doesnt Israel have a right to exist and defend itself?”. Since that old one has started to get a bit more contentious.
I can’t find any public opinion polls on what were the base causes of 9/11.
Some of the people who died deserved it and others were just random people who lived and worked there
I live in America so you could argue i deserve to die for benefiting from its imperialism but i’m just a fucking chef paid less than the 1970s minimum wage, idfk what you want me to do about it
