The Patriot Act is what made America what it is today. Everything that’s happening right now can be directly drawn back to 9/11 and the resulting coverage and political weaponization of it effectively obliterating the American psyche. The actual event was relatively minor compared to what it spawned.

Yeah nah this was the worst attack on American soil in American history. Hell to this day we still have people dying as a result of the attacks just look at the files Mamdmahi released yesterday. Also what Jon Stewart has been fighting for, all the shit that was spewed in the air after the towers fell has had far lasting consequences

Also the simple fact that it’s more important for people around back then and in the moment, but as time passes, the apparent importance will fade and we will be able to look at it with a level headed historical perspective

I’d like to argue that it’s still very important to the families and friends who lost their loved ones but sure.. aside from that I think it’s important bc it showed the last time our nation was united and the more we forget the further away we distance ourselves from that (clearly u can see how divided our nation is by the president who doesn’t take 9/11 seriously at all)
