by around 4hr31m (late morning on 9/11). "We should have nuked Vietnam and we didn't, we can't make that mistake again, nuke them, fry them. Fry their children. We should choose three countries at random and nuke them"
this is the tone for hours and was broadcast to untold millions of Americans. Just straight hours of calls for genocide.
America has to go folks, it has to lose the ability to slake its berserk bloodthirst abroad
if that means common ruin so fuckin be it, I hope chuds start civil war 2 because their boss wants them to get a flu shot
We should choose three countries at random and nuke them
US
UK
AustraliaThere's your random list, now get to it :very-smart:
US European Union UK
Three countries bro.
Australia is too pathetic to care about
And that was a common fucking reaction at the time, this was not some like crazy or uncommon response.
No it was not. I remember my dad saying they should turn the middle east into glass and he's a staunch blue dog.
Lmao my dad said this too. Used to be a blue dog straight up reactionary right libertarian now
Also told me “a-rabs don’t have toilet paper and wipe with their hands” lol
“We should have nuked Vietnam and we didn’t, we can’t make that mistake again, nuke them, fry them. Fry their children. We should choose three countries at random and nuke them”
Stay mad bloodthirsty imperialist dog :uncle-ho-2:
What's crazy is after the first plane hits, they're laughing :youre-laughing: and they go straight back into celebrity gossip, because they thought it was an accident. Once the second hits, they realize it's a terrorist attack and the tone totally shifts and they immediately start beating the drums of war.
It reminds me of this metaphor I heard reading about Buddhism. Imagine that you're on a boat going through the fog, and you bump into another boat. If there's nobody in the boat, you're startled by the bump, but then you quickly forget about it and move on. But if there is someone in the boat, maybe you get mad at them, and you yell, "Idiot! Watch where you're going!" and it sticks with you all day. Why is that? Well, the difference is that you think you can change their behavior and stop it from happening again by expressing your anger, but the extent to which this is true is questionable. While we might say "bullying works," if you lose your head you can end up looking like :frothingfash:, and sometimes it's more effective to educate, or to try to understand where they're going wrong. The metaphor is good because it serves as a reminder to keep things in perspective, and to understand what your anger is trying to accomplish so you can question whether there might be a more effective method to change people than just lashing out.
Nobody cares or cared about the event itself or the people who died. That's just the empty boat. They only care because there was somebody in the boat who dared to defy the international order. And all that anyone wanted to do was lash out, not heal the damage, not understand what happened, not think about what lashing out would even accomplish, just this totally unhinged rage.
Imagine that you’re on a boat going through the fog, and you bump into another boat. If there’s nobody in the boat
Worlds shortest horror story
You have never seen me get mad at inanimate objects that wronged me, have you?
one time I was too drunk and couldn't successfully punch the lightswitch into the on position (motor skills were compromised and I didn't want to piss in the dark, don't @ me) so I screamed "don't judge me you fuckin' lightswitch, you don't know me" and kicked the shower door shut in frustration
only instead of the door moving at all my foot just went straight through it and the safety glass shattered everywhere
the point of this story is that sometimes the inanimate objects get mad back
well from what i recall most people who weren't watching the news thought it was like a prop plane or a single or 2 passenger airplane that hit the tower, not a commercial airliner
yeah images of the aftermath of the 1st plane, which might at a glance not seem massive

I mean there's literally a guy saying like, "It's not just a little fire, the whole thing's on fire!"
this is at the beating heart of white america. a country more willing to commit genocide than any other people on the planet. but so nice until then!
Jeez, they start off the show by openly laughing at someone who died because she was too big to fit in an MRI machine. Joking about how a machine big enough "hadn't been made yet" and "where would there be one" as if it's funny. Like, you know, maybe there should be one at the hospital where MRI scans sometimes need to be performed on people who are very large. What the fuck kind of question is that, you absolute ghoul?
I'm not sure I can stand to listen to their takes on the WTC attack lmao
Edit: "This is more upsetting than me not getting Pam Anderson." It's like a parody, holy fuck. I feel like I'd hear this shit on a radio in GTA lmao
That - and worse - has been Howard Stern's whole thing for nearly 40 years.
Who is the fuckwad talking about nuking Yemen? Sick fuck. Would love to see a nuke shoved up his ass and blown up in orbit.
That's too quick and painless to really be a punishment.
Shoving it up his ass on Earth's surface and not detonating it would be worse.
The world will be a safe place once the US govt no longer exists. The single most dangerous and genocidal govt in existence.
America is already on its way down. It can't respond effectively to a pandemic, or any natural disaster, and probably would be in complete submission after a good couple of times of the supply chain defaulting.
I'm just hoping that this all doesn't happen too abruptly, or before I can get enough land and develop it (in an appropriate-tech sense) to the point where I/we can support several hundred comrades like the person reading this.
I have had a premonition that this country will go (heh) nuclear in a way that will make Nazi Germany look tame. The impetus is there.
Maybe I'm off in fantasy, but I can definitely see the USA going nuts and then basically fighting the entire world and losing miserably before the entire planet shits itself from climate change
