Millennial here, who watched the second plane hit on tv at school...from experience, that trauma turns into a righteous anger once you figure out it was all a lie. I have 9/11 and the ensuing days and weeks of news coverage burned into my mind. Knowing now that it was our own government who were complicit in the outright murder of my fellow Americans has filled me with a “great and terrible resolve.” I’m not allowing them to own that part of my story.
Oh yeah, and I remember watching the plane hit WTC7 before that building fell down too. Oh wait, the WTC7 explanation landed in a farmers field in Pennsylvania didn’t it? Buuuuut the building still fell anyway. How is it that no one demands an explanation for that one?
Millennial's trauma from 9/11 will pail in comparison to todays constant psychological fear, masks, separation, isolation, germaphobia...

I'll never forget watching the 2nd plane hit.
Then the buildings collapse.
And thinking "that looks like the controlled demolitions I saw on TLC"

We already see that in today's youth. Which is why I'm raising my daughter to be fearless.
Absolutely right.
The non-stop mind fuckery while the cake is baking, makes for a fucked up cake.
