I Saw It

As more and more people are alive who are not old enough to recall 9/11, it’s interesting that many of them attempt to gaslight those of us who were around and already adults then about what really occurred, what we really saw, and what happened that day 25 years ago now. The poltroons in the post below are not the first, but merely an example I noticed on the eve the tragedy’s anniversary.

I suspect that desire to tell us what we really witnessed and felt comes from not wanting to comprehend the intensity of the horror of that day and the days that followed. The uncertainty. The fear. It’s something they cannot imagine and do not want to imagine. If they did, they might be forced to believe that something like that could happen to them, too.

Unlike what these Gen Z types think — the same ones who can barely read and for some reason believe we didn’t even have TVs in 2001 — 9/11 coverage was inescapable. That horrible day and for weeks after it, one could not go anywhere without seeing images and videos of 9/11. Every station (of which there were many at the time) played footage constantly. Every newspaper had endless articles. Even the fairly-primitive internet had videos and innumerable pieces.

Those of us who were there as witness to Americans suffering and dying that day know what we saw. Be glad you weren’t there. But we — we had no choice.

No Land

Oh, what a fucktard.

There were definitely live shots of people jumping on 9/11. I saw them. Many people saw them. Probably most Americans did given the ubiquitous coverage and what time of day 9/11 occurred. It’s fucking insulting to insist no one saw this. I remember being in the AT&T Ops Center in Charlotte, NC, and the CNN anchor saying they were going to cut away because the live video was, “Too disturbing to keep showing.” People were jumping one after another. You could hear on the audio bodies landing on cars and on concrete as well. People in the room with me were sobbing loudly. I remember one woman saw a lady in a skirt jump and involuntarily gasp-shrieked in horror, startling others in in the room.

This person is probably like 22. And I’d gladly punch them in the face as hard as I could if they were in front of me. Fucking idiot. Evil fucking idiot. Definitely not landing that helicopter when I “deport” them to Somalia.

Failing that, it’d be an absolute honor to beat this clown to a bloody pulp if the helicopter adventure is not an option.

Dregs

Correct. “Far right” and “Nazi” came to mean among the establishment and among “good people” anyone who did not support having their daughter, sister or wife raped by Ahmed or Nasir. Quite understandably, most normal people reject this as it has become clear to them that third world immigration is a farce and dangerous to them, any women, and their society in toto.

People are rightly rejecting the framing of them being bad people for not wanting their civilizations destroyed and all the women they know harassed, menaced and raped by feral third worlders. Europe really fucked up with its immigration strategy; it allowed in the absolute worst parasites, rapists, criminals and low-IQ dregs. And now they are paying for it.

AfD See

People are really puzzled that no one wants roving foreign rape gangs in their countries? Like, to you that’s a real mystery why people don’t want that?

You’ve got to be playing, right, if you don’t understand why that’d turn people against immigration? Come the fuck on.

Was There

memetic_sisyphus on X: "COVID is such a funny topic for anyone who has a memory longer than 6 years. The right at the beginning was concerned about this disease and called for locking down travel from infected countries. The left called this racist, Nancy Pelosi went to China town and told people to hug" / X

I remember all of that! I also had friends messaging me at the start of the pandemic claiming that masks don’t work who later became extremely, ardently pro-masking. And you know what, it’s ok to change your mind given new evidence or in this case re-evaluation of the existing data.

What I object to is when someone treats me like the bad guy for being able to recall quite recent history, even if it paints people in a negative light. That I strongly refuse to play along with.

I won’t call them out by name, but I also had a friend (who is still a friend) insist that no one had ever said “hug a Chinese person” and that it did not happen that for two months the liberals claimed that believing Covid was a threat was racist. But all that stuff occurred. I remember; I was there. A lot of it is now “conspiracy-theorized” and memory-holed and more will be in the future as the truth is sanded down to what feels good.

Message Divergence

One of the reasons for the current gender war is the messages men and women receive as they grow up have diverged a lot since the 1990s.

During the ’90s, both genders were told roughly this: Strive for equality while doing the best you can. Everyone deserves a fair shot. Be as egalitarian as possible and ethical while trying to do what you love. Most people are trying their best and while there are some differences between the sexes, we all have to work together.

Now women receive this messaging: You are special faultless snowflake sparkle princess who deserves the best always. Accountability and responsibility should never touch you; you are a child until you are 40. If that top 0.01% man you so richly deserve doesn’t find you, no one else should darken your door; it’s best to just stay single.

And men are told at the same time: You are by default evil and disposable. Also, a rapist by dint of being born male. This condition is inescapable and women are right to hate you (unless you are one of those top 0.01% men, where your proper role is to be a walking wallet). If you object to any of these obviously-correct assumptions about you, that means you are even worse: an “incel” who should be shamed and shunned by all.

It’s no damn mystery why the two sexes hate one another now as feminism turned pure evil. Nothing else really could’ve occurred.

Well, yes. Once the left switched from attempting to lift all boats to zero sum thinking focused on enacting slave morality, there was going to be a backlash. Let’s hope that revolt succeeds for all our sake’s.

Their degrowth third world rapist-loving clown asses need to be smacked down hard. By the way, AfD is about as right-wing as a standard 1990s liberal. Don’t buy into the propaganda — actually read and and learn something.

Slave Morality

The left’s position on everything is that you should have to apologize to them for why they suck. As if you caused it.

The inferior is elevated to superiority; the superior is assumed to have oppressed the inferior to have achieved anything at all. This evil is set in place to avoid the obvious conclusion that people are different, groups are different, and that’s just reality.

However, no matter what, that brute reality overrides all in the end.

Quid Pro No

Don’t move? Ok.

I am this stubborn.

I’ve always hated water and refused to drink it. Nearly anything is preferable to plain water.

When I was about 10 my actually evil stepmother decided I wasn’t permitted to drink anything but water any longer. So I just stopped drinking anything at all.

For three days, I drank nothing. Not a drop of liquid passed my lips. Not at home, not at school. I did not know it was possible to be so thirsty, but I gutted it out. In a rare bit of actual concern for my wellbeing at the beginning of the fourth day, one of my teachers referred me to the school nurse because I could barely stay conscious in class as I was so dehydrated.

After I explained to the nurse what was up, I asked her to call my dad, not my mom or stepmom, and she did. She advised my father it’d be better to let me drink what I wanted rather than just allow me to die because of something someone who was not even a legal guardian had mandated.

So that’s how I got to drink (mostly) sugar-free drinks and such again, and sometimes sweet tea. Either of those is infinitely superior to water, which I absolutely cannot tolerate.

After I won against her, my stepmother did many more terrible things in retaliation, which is why I was eventually kicked out of the house altogether and ended up living with my grandparents.

But that’s a tale for another day.

When I later told a nurse practitioner friend about what I’d done and why, she said I was lucky — apparently, a lot of people, especially kids, experience cardiac arrest after about three days without any hydration.
