it's such a sadness to me that kids eventually lose that 'no filter' thing when they grow up. my niece asked what 9/11 is and someone explained it to her and her unfiltered conclusion was "bro. is that it"
Holy fuck. Empathy epidemic is real.
Thousands of people died, people were scapegoated as terrorists and to this day there is anti-Muslim sentiment that harms lives globally because what happens in the US always stretches borders, so much cancer, illness, and death. The deaths in the middle east as a result... War crimes and birth defects because of illegal chemical warfare...
"Bro, is that it" isn't cute or clever. It's void of empathy and a gross failure of the adults in this kid's life if that's the takeaway.
someone briefly explained the actual event of the towers being attacked to her and this was her reaction to that specific information. im afraid my mum's friend's husband joe didn't really delve into the following islamophobia, chemical warfare or geopolitical impact of 9/11 with her in the middle of the birthday party where this exchange happened, all she knew in that moment is that two buildings were attacked in america like a decade before she was born, so I think it's actually a pretty normal reaction from a kid who wasn't alive at the time, isn't even american, and who had only heard it was supposedly a tragedy unlike any other and so expected the event itself to be something much worse than the tragedies she's seen in her own lifetime. try being more normal on strangers' posts in the future.
It's beyond hilarious that you reblog every single person who disagrees with you. 😂
