It was fucking disgusting back then. You could speak to 99 random americans and they’d support bombing the shit out of afghan and killing whoever was necessary to get osama. It was SO fucking different to how it is now with libs at least being performative about not being bloodthirsty monsters. Back then it was bipartisan support for mass killing and obliteration. Nobody gave a fuck.
Don’t get me started on the constant omnipresent casual racism.
The first time I realized I was, for lack of a better word, different than the people I grew up around is when one of my high school buddies just casually said we should “just glass the middle east and get it over with”. Glassing is a term we got from Halo which means to incinerate an area with such a high heat the surface turns to glass. His proposed method was obviously nuclear bombs.
No one else thought it was an outlandish thing to say, much less a truly abhorrent one.
