I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.

I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.

Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.

    “You’re over simplifying the first, and conflating the other.”

    incorrect.

    you are claiming that protests do not affect political change.

    you are wrong.

    “The MLK protests made change…”

    that’s right!

    “As for the 2001 attacks, what would you say was their political goal?”

    to destroy an important symbol of the US, terrify the US population and force them to waste resources chasing an unseen enemy.

    which, since none of you seem versed in history, is exactly what happened and is still happening.

      to destroy an important symbol of the US, terrify the US population and force them to waste resources chasing an unseen enemy.

      Are you implying the ‘inside job’ conspiracy theory, or suggesting these were the goals of Al-Qaeda?

      I’m not saying that to reject the former, it has some debatable credibility, but if you’re proposing the latter, “to destroy an important symbol of the US, terrify the US population and force them to waste resources chasing an unseen enemy” doesn’t make sense from Al-Qaeda’s perspective, contradicts the choices of targets, and contradicts their stated motives both years before and after the 2001 attacks. (quick wiki summary to launch from)

        'Are you implying the ‘inside job’ conspiracy theory, or suggesting these were the goals of Al-Qaeda?"

        …how? do you get to these non-sequiturs.

        If you don’t know something, just ask.

        On 9/11, a bunch of Saudi terrorists destroyed two very tall buildings in NYC in 2001. The quote of mine are several of the explicitly stated goals of that terrorist group that were successfully carried out.

        I can’t help you if you don’t “believe” in 9/11, that’s…what happened. You can just read about it. Like, everywhere.
