  • Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.


  • Call me insensitive, but as someone who experienced 9/11 as an adult, being able to enjoy actual funny jokes that reference the attack is kind of refreshing, especially jokes created by the generation born after it happened.

    I have nothing concrete to base this on, but my observation is this:

    • A 9/11 joke written by someone who lived through it is more likely to be about 9/11

    • a 9/11 joke written by someone born after it happened is more likely to use 9/11 to punctuate a joke about something else

    Either way, I find the latter group funnier.
