The top group wanted to encourage USA to become more extremist by presenting a catalyst (9-11), bottom duo are part the solution created by the reaction
Yes; even in late 2001 I already saw a lot of agreement that “the terrorists have won”. The post-9/11 era saw a large jump in executive power, deepened internal political division, an erosion of individual rights, and an upswing in fear and xenophobia. All of this led to decreased stability and that’s exactly what the attacks were aiming for.
In the end the attacks only accelerated an ongoing process of decay but they did so very effectively.
I think they are linked. 9/11 made the us go in a very fascy way and this was Bin Ladens goal. Destroy American power. Trump is just the culmination of that
Can’t we call them what they are? They’re terrorists.
They’re the same madmen
There’s gonna be a worse terrorist attack, caused by trumps Trump GazaTM plan
The terrorist is calling from inside the house!
tax the rich
Redacted the rich
Arguably the first succeeded. Stoking xenophobia, nationalism, more unilateral and authoritarian action by GWB, handing more power to the talibangelicals because Islam and Muslims bad…there were so many things put into overdrive by Bush 2 that led to today. Reagan of course really kicked it off by opening the door wider to privatization, deregulation, government bad, taxing rich people bad, cheap health care bad, mental health care facilities bad, etc. But Bush courted the extremists and gave them a seat. Now here we are.
