tryna figure out what makes us intrinsically human since it isn't love, fear, empathy, intelligence, capacity for learning etc, and have come to the conclusion that actually maybe there is nothing special about us and that is ok. and really it is that or 9/11 jokes so .

#i have a lot of thoughts about 9/11 jokes #and also the human condition #because for all the things ppl tote as what makes us unique it is just. not true #'love' WRONG animals can love + also aroace people. next #'empathy!!!!' there are people with various disorders that means they do not experience empathy. i trust i do not need to explain why sayin #that they're not human is AWFUL #fear? guess what. have you listened to the magnus archives. most things that exist feel fear.#but you can bet your fucking ASS that NOTHIGN else in the known universe makes 9/11 jokes #anyway 9/11 is very interesting to me as a non-american because it means i have learnt about it quite objectively #like not even getting into the conspiracy stuff. because that feels like a slippery slope and i am not well educated enough on the american #politcal state at the time and bush etc etc #HOWEVER 9/11 screams propaganda to me as someone on the outside #and yes. undeniably it was a tragedy. however it was also used to justify huge amounts of violence against brown and muslim people #see . the war in iraq and also the horrific islamophobia that still exists in the states and world wide #and also. so many much worse things have happened in usamerica since then #but for some reason this is still held up as The Tragedy To End All Tragedies #idk it's interesting
