    I remember reading how a mosque got approved to be built somewhere nearby and a ton of residents protested it, and eventually the citied turned around and prohibited it from being built

      It wasn’t just a bunch of residents, it was an organised campaign by a designated hate group, boosted by Fox and backed by many Democrats.

      The mosque and interfaith cultural center was going to be at least two city blocks from the site of WTC, but both the name ‘the Ground Zero Mosque’ that stuck and the campaign itself was started by Stop Islamification Of America.

      It was an offshoot that was specifically started at the request of the leader of Stop Islamification Of Nations in Europe, which is a straight up anti-Muslim hate group, proscribed in some countries despite their own government’s Islamophobia, and connected to other racist orgs like Generation Identity and the English Defense League here in the UK.

    Best (worst) ones…

    • Twin Towers but just gold
    • Big stack of three presents wrapped in USA flag
    • Building everywhere except the original footprint of the two tower
    • Colourful tentacles of peace that don’t seem to have any usable space in them
    • The terrible one that spells 911 like a doodle in school notebook

    Only one they should have done:

    • Twin Towers made of light projected out of a park

    I gotta say, I did not expect the one that looks like an orange/green tentacle monster attacking the city, nor the big fuck-off cardboard box eclipsing the entire skyline

    the most baffling one to me is the one that’s like “let’s build a ceiling everywhere the smoke and debris spread, to trap smog and make manhattan permanently unbearable”
