I always wonder if we were robbed from a prosperous future or if it was all bullshit to begin with and we were lied to from the start my neoliberals to push their idea of "liberal democracy". seeing all the social and political events of the late 20th century like the Civil Rights Act, Hart-Cellar Act, abolition of the gold standard, no fault divorce, increased degeneracy, lowering birthrates etc. really makes me question the "End of History" and whether it really was a good outcome for society. and let's not forget all the modern tech that degenerated society that would've happened regardless of 9/11, like the smartphones, social media and AI. and even the "good" economy of the 90s was fake and not bound to last since America's REAL economy ended in 1971.
Seeing the towers really gets me emotional. My naive side wants to go back, but my more rational side wants to completely move past all myths and ideas of the 20th century since they've brought nothing but harm society.
I think 9/11 helped snap us out of this boomer truth hypnosis and lead us to a path that helped us see that this meaningless dead consumerist soulless world was just not sustainable. without it we probably would've been a slower decay of society (which is actually worse since it means less people would notice the decline become redpilled) and more "last men" being created.
