    You’re just wrong, but that’s alright.

    9/11 is really where the modern world was birthed in terms of American politics.

    Sure it’s been terrible in the past, but it hasn’t always been this terrible and for about 30 years or so it has been restrained (Rodney king protests). It went Cold War during this time and most adults 40 and below have known relative peace in the U.S. in conjunction with government sanctioned violence towards our own people.

    Don’t twist these ideas with a flawed concept of we “always have done it this way ” as if human society hasn’t progressed whatsoever. With this outlook we would have been living in caves and fields all the way up to now. It’s like oppressive defeatism, and it’s just utterly pointless.

    Just because things have been one way doesn’t mean it can’t be changed.

    The world is not binary and we can always push forward for positive changes.
