What? The Rodeny King beating and subsequent riots, OJ Simpson murdering 2 people, Columbine, the first time the WTC was bombed, 1500 people died near Mecca, and like 3 civil wars in Africa
I mean as bad as those things were, none of those things come close to recent events. Look at your examples and compare them to “worldwide virus kills millions and the entire planet goes into quarantine for a couple years” or “president of the United States fails to get reelected so he foments a literal coup on the US government and his rioting mob breaks into the capitol building trying to stop the transfer of power. And then 4 years later that criminal gets elected to be president again”.
Not to mention all the shit that wasn’t being captured on any kind of recording at the time.
The rose tint feels so fuckin good tho, right?
There’s only a single decent quality video of the first plane on 9/11. Because in a city of millions of people, only 1 person in the area was recording at the time.
I can’t even imagine how many videos there would be if it happened today.
More videos. And yet somehow
less agreement on what happened.
“obviously fake ai sludge”
perhaps some “that’s what Comrade Pelosi wants you to believe”
yeah and for a lot of people who’d be using lemmy, the reason they weren’t aware of all this shit is our parents kept us safe from it
