[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world [S] 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) You certainly have a point that doesn't deserve to be downvoted like that. Are you New Yorkian, by any chance? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Not the person you replied to, but I'm a New Yorker. I lived near the city on 9/11. My friends lost family members. My dad was across the street from the towers and thankfully made it out alive. I've downvoted every single 9/11 joke I've ever seen. I've personally shut down people who made 9/11 jokes in real life. It's not really something to make jokes about. But this comic is right. 9/11 was the defining moment of my generation. It changed America for the worse. Comparing that to Trump's fascist takeover is apropos. permalink fedilink source parent
