Osama bin Laden Trend
🔍 Notable
I'm not sure if anyone's seen this, but Osama bin Laden is seeing a huge revival on tiktok right now.
His 2002 "Letter to the American people" is going viral with a lot of popular influencers reading his letter and basically saying he was right. I've been seeing a lot more of that stuff since the Palestine war but now there almost seems to be a consensus among zoomers that America has always been in the wrong. Even some guys I know who support Trump agree with a lot of the message. I don't think there's ever been such a disconnect between the older and younger generations. It's really interesting but also pretty crazy.
Well, in part because this goes both ways.
Older generations are all trashing on newer generations which is catching a lot of people in the crossfire of a stupid divide that isn't very logically created.
The fact of the matter is, even bad people can make good points; if they say one good thing and nine bad things, then everyone who latches on to the one will start to ignore the nine. It happens with all of the evil figures of history.
It doesn't help when people are made to dig in because people accuse them of holding opinions they don't hold because they agree with one point of many.
Humans are stubborn creatures and that is easily exploited.
