Two wrongs don't make a right. The last 20 years has proved it didn't really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit.

No. Why was the attack not on a political building anyway? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sassy@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) The Pentagon is a government building.

The last 20 years has proved it didn't really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit. Like were the people who died in 9/11 directly responsible for the horrible shit their government did? No. Why was the attack not on a political building anyway? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sassy@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) The Pentagon is a government building. Everyone seems to focus on the towers and forgets American Airlines Flight 77. Regardless, the point of terrorism is to cause terror, not necessarily to kill people who “deserve” it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HipPriest@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago That's true I did forget the Pentagon building because I'm an idiot permalink fedilink source parent
