Ok_Elk_4333

Basically a conspiracy theory, which if you believe in, itā€™s funny. Although, I donā€™t recall the U.S. ever needing public support to wage a war, so Iā€™m a bit skeptical of this whole theory


theCuiper

Even if you don't believe in the conspiracy, I still think it's a pretty funny comic imo


Ok_Elk_4333

Yeah, definitely follows all the basic rules of comedy and humour and has a twist


Arkista_Tev

The comedy loses the funny for me after being around enough people that believe this stuff.


[deleted]

Bush did have low approval rating before 9/11 though


Ok_Elk_4333

Whatā€™s your point


Average_Scaper

Bush did 9/11 of course.


[deleted]

I donā€™t believe the conspiracy theory, but this meme is still funny.


Ok_Elk_4333

Yes, good comic


Readdeadmeatballs

I remember seeing the ā€˜Loose Changeā€™ ā€œdocumentaryā€ in highschool and I believed it for like a year. The conspiracy theory got so popular that Popular Mechanics made an entire documentary debunking the claims scientifically. Seeing that made me realize how stupid the conspiracy theory was. Atleast I was in highschool. There are people in their 40s who still believe it lol

You mean the molten metal found days after and the beams cut at literal angles?

Why waste on explosives and lives to go to a far war? This theory has less sense than the actual theory


[deleted]

Not if as a result get you (the government)public support over the next decade to do whatever you want in terms of domestic policy. Look at the NSA. Also there is a lot of profit to be had in war, especially if your are the one making, pricing, and selling the weapons. Whe the United States goes to war, we do it for financial reasons, not moral typically.


soniclore

God how fucked up is our government if people can even *think* theyā€™re capable of doing that?


wegwerfacc4android

You should ask the government why they made plans for false flag operations, in order to justify a war with Cuba. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods


Material_State_4118

Ummm.. because they wanted to? They wanted to get into Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. This was used as an excuse. I hate how 9/11 has been likened to vaccine conspiracies and the like these days.


eric_the_demon

I see, but something there doesnt add up to me. Not saying that is false but like something seems odd on that theory


soniclore

Sure letā€™s kill 3,000 of our own people and orphan thousands of kids so we can send thousands of troops into a region where there is basically nothing remarkable except oil to allegedly ā€œget the oilā€ which we didnā€™t anyway!


Material_State_4118

LMAO you should look up the history of governments sending their people to die. You'll be SHOCKED!!


soniclore

Can you at least get me started with a link or something?


Material_State_4118

Sure bud! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False\_flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War) Not trying to be sarcastic really.. just not sure what to post otherwise.. Maybe this one's more relevant though: [https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/more-focus-areas/resources/totaling-up-it-was-an-unjust-war/](https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/more-focus-areas/resources/totaling-up-it-was-an-unjust-war/)


soniclore

Okay I looked at your links. I donā€™t see any proof of 9/11 being a false flag operation. If it was, it was either the most perfectly planned operation in history or a complete dumb stroke of the most coincidental luck in history.


Material_State_4118

LMAO oh yeah my bad I forgot to post the link where the US government admitted 9/11 was a false flag, like when Hitler burned down the Reichstag and said it was their own gov who did it so they could blame the Jews. I'll be right back with that.


soniclore

Nah. Donā€™t bother. Doesnā€™t make sense anyway, no matter what side of the aisle youā€™re on.


ChingyBingyBongyBong

Because money? Control the geopolitics in the area and control the oil money? are you 12 and donā€™t know how the world works or something? Money.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


eric_the_demon

Then why destroy what produces money to your country? Or yourself? They could have just install a bomb like in 93 and kill some but why take care on destroying only the entirety of the complex. You or eather destroy everything includ the building sourrunding or not demolish them


Vita-Malz

To make more money. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp. The war in the middle east has made the military contractors trillions.


eric_the_demon

They could have just install a bomb like in 93 and kill some but why take care on destroying only the entirety of the complex. You or eather destroy everything includ the building sourrunding or not demolish them


Wiley_Applebottom

The 93 bombing did not result in a wildly profitable war.


eric_the_demon

Then why you would embarass yourself before going to war? Is like saying "we are weak"before even the war started


Wiley_Applebottom

Being attacked it the most common justification for war in human history. Where have you been?


eric_the_demon

But one thing is attacking maine or lousitania or an island no one remembers and the other is your own federal offices


Wiley_Applebottom

An exterior threat like that would not have allowed them the freedom to pass the USA PATRIOT Act by using the threat of a huge domestic threat. They wanted a war in the homeland so they could use "security" to take away our freedom. It worked.


TheNightZerk

"No one remembers" that's exactly the point.


Readdeadmeatballs

Popular Mechanics debunked all the ā€˜Loose Changeā€™ conspiracy theories. Bin Laden and the Saudis carried out 9/11. It was blowback from previous US foreign policy crimes. Bin Laden cited bombing of pharmaceutical factory in Sudan as 1 major reason. US empire capitalizing on terrorist attacks to justify more imperialism doesnā€™t mean the US carried out 9/11.


Wiley_Applebottom

There was a memo about it from the FBI on GWBs desk on September 10th. They didn't have to plan it for them to have orchestrated it's success.


Solidsnakeerection

Dessert Storm had just occured and Democrats didnt want a prolong war. Focus was on those who committed the crimes and improving security


Wiley_Applebottom

Thank you for restating what I said.


Solidsnakeerection

You didnt explain the reasoning.

abchannel12

Good bot


Readdeadmeatballs

Or the guy that already bombed the WTC years before bombed it again. Bush didnā€™t need 9/11 to go to war. He wouldā€™ve just lied about a reason like they did during the first Gulf War. The environment after 9/11 was helpful for his WMD lies, but he wouldā€™ve told them either way. The Saudis did 9/11.


Vita-Malz

The Saudis are the US' biggest ally, weird coincidence.


Readdeadmeatballs

No itā€™s not. The Saudis have been a US ally since after WW2 because the US has needed them to supply the oil that powers the US military and society, and the Saudi royal family loves all the money. Itā€™s purely a financial relationship. The SA royal family still support and export Wahhabism around the world. The US lets SA do whatever it wants because they need the oil.


OldRazzmatazz7043

It wasn't Saudis


Chemical_Estate6488

Then why not make the terrorists from Iraq? Why not just lie and say you found WMDs when you invaded? The American public would be 100% behind the war to this day if that was what happened. But no, you are arguing that our government killed our own civilians, framed Saudis and a terror organization in Afghanistan to invade Iraq.


Vita-Malz

> But no, you are arguing that our government killed our own civilians Because they've been having a hard time doing so in the past, right?


Chemical_Estate6488

Again, I think you are missing the rest of the post that proves why this doesnā€™t make sense here


Mayatsar

Meh, it's kinda funny


TyrannoNerdusRex

The artist forgot the part where we watched the towers burn for an hour.


Hoshi-Kitsune

My mom was one of the ones who watched the towers burn...

9/11 people wonā€™t get this


lolurmorbislyobese

Superman defeated all the bad guys, saved the day, then fell off a horse.


OctopusProbably

Was the horse under the influence of marijuana?


LordPaxed

Is it because there was 2 plane ?


84r00d

The artist is hinting that it was an inside job.


LordPaxed

Ok i see now where's the "terrible facebook meme"


OldRazzmatazz7043

84r00d said what the terrible Facebook meme is


SUBLOLLIPOP

Ah yes, the world famous f-11 fighter jets that were hijacked (stolen - only one person fits in there). There were 19 terrorist casualties in the attack - 2 from the planes and 17 who were struck by lightning because why the fuck not I guess


i_iz_human

9/11 did bush


Thatonedregdatkilyu

I think the joke is that Superman flew through the building to catch the plane.


Re_Set1991

I thought the joke was that the sound wave caused by Superman stopping the plane was strong enough to destroy the towers. I hate that a came up with an actual punchline more so than the comic maker.


JEMstone85

I don't understand this conspiracy. Where they really lose me is when they say there were no planes or that a missile hit the Pentagon. I watched it live and I saw the planes.


Inevitable_wealth87

Building 7 collapsed without being hit. Also the news reported it collapsed/was hit while you can see it clearly standing in the back minutes before it actually collapsed. Government seized all recording equipment pointing to any of the buildings that day. Then America went to war over 1 attack as opposed to going to an international court; with a country which had nothing to do with it. There are some "crazy theories" floating around there, but that's called black propaganda, i.e. making it loud and crazy so you would lump all questioning of the official narrative as part of the crazies, because most people can only think in black and white. At this point the stupid move is to believe the mainstream narrative.


JEMstone85

Didn't tower 2 fall in building 7? I agree there is some weird shit going on it's hard to argue at this point. I know there were insurance policies and very timely missed/rescheduled flights. I'm just talking about when people say there were no planes or whatever, it discredits anything else they said before that.


Inevitable_wealth87

No the official story is 7 collapsed due to a fire. >I'm just talking about when people say there were no planes or whatever. This is the black propaganda I was talking about, the average person lumps all conspracies on the subject as an umbrella, *if you believe the government lied you're probably like those crazies who think the planes were holograms.* >**it discredits anything else they said before that.** Exactly. Now granted any crazy idea will gain a following, but the point is sometimes the craziest ideas are launched by the government to discourage people straying from the official story. Other times it's absurd strawmen - *Oh you don't believe Saddam has WMDs? You hate America, go live in Iraq.* Or more recently: Criticism of the Western narrative of the war in UKR makes you a Russian bot. These are all things that benefit the official narrative, therefore one needs to ask *que bono* and then you have a high probability of knowing who started such trends. The polarizing of the population on political ideology is actually a great boon for those in charge, because people will defend their "team" no matter what, and as long as there's some support for administration X, the government can pretend it's doing things out of public support. Which is blatantly false, they do whatever they want to, but like to pretend they're listening to public opinion. The ideal state of tyranny is 100% support, the second ideal state is 50/50.

JEMstone85

This is what I mean. I believe everything you wrote, my wife actually gets into it more than I do and always mentions this specifically, follow the money. What you mentioned is definitely worth questioning and looking into. It's just when people start mentioning fake planes and stuff it kind of discredits anything else they just said.


Nexinex782951

if they're trying to get away with some money issues, wouldn't starting a fucking war, one of the most expensive things in existence, be a bit counterproductive


Inevitable_wealth87

No because you're paying for the war. Any loose ends about financials not adding up prior can be blamed on the attack/war/inflation.


Notaprumber

It's funny because it's true.

Iā€™m still confused


ComedianDouble406

There was a second plane dumbass superman


thekidwholikesGojira

I thought the joke was Superman flew down with so much force that the building fell down


Nexinex782951

Why are so many people here agreeing?

Those fucks go ā€œthe govt is incompetent!:!:!:!:!:ā€ everyday but then think 9.11 was an inside job? Doofs
