yeah, I didn't make the image but I saw it several 9/11s ago and remembered it for reposting.

i think it's a beautiful image, because being someone who was born in the mid 80s, 9/11 marked the end of the golden age for me, in retrospect. I like to argue that 2007-2009, with the advent of social media and mobile internet, is when it truly turned for the worse, but i feel like i can trace back the root of the decline to 9/11, or at least the illusion of it, even if much of the mechanisms were already in place for a long time.

it's also an image i like to share occasionally with normies while i'm making a point, to see if i can spark some critical analysis or plant a seed of thought.
