based on site demographics I can’t be alone in this. immediately feels like 2004 never ended.
fuck every single person involved in conceiving and executing these actions, and the many who will make excuses for it.
EDIT: idk why I was so specific about the years. any fellow “war on terror” experiencers are the intended audience here.
Yep, but minus the horrorific casual islamophobia and racism that permeated the entire amerikkkan political and media landscape. From South Park episodes to Flash animations on Newgrounds. Obviously islamophobia hasn’t disappeared, but the way how widespread it was back then even among your average lib was scary.
i thought the fucking “hey mr taliban turn over bin laden” song from newgrounds era was like the original song because I’d never heard Harry Belafonte before 😔
they even offered to do that but the bush admin didn’t take them up on it.
almost like casus belli is just latin for “excuse to fool the rubes”
Same. I can’t even listen to the original without hearing the stupid parody.
it’s pretty fucked tbh, the original is great
Idk it sorta feels like Islamophobia is in vogue again among the hogs what with Mamdani becoming mayor, post-Oct 7 need to support Israel*, Somali childcare fraud fearmongering and preparing for regime change in Iran. Maybe not post-9/11 levels but I have no doubt they’ll get there
*obviously not true of all hogs since many oppose Israel due to antisemitism
Yeah sure, I don’t disagree. What I meant is that it wasn’t just the chuds who were openly islamophobic.
Do you remember the “Ground Zero Mosque” breakout when a new mosque was built in Manhattan?
