This point has already been made many times but it’s wild to think about all the ways that American life is still different today because of 9/11, and then to remember that COVID-19 has killed 295 times as many people so far. 

We responded to a sudden and immediate catastrophe by spending trillions on destructive wars in every corner of the planet, we created the most expansive government surveillance system ever designed up to that point, and we made going through a government-run full body scanner a standard part of our travel habits. But when a slow and ongoing catastrophe of a much larger magnitude emerged, we responded with a stimulus bill, a patchwork of conflicting guidance from public officials, and a failure to pass paid sick leave.

“Describe homestuck” is a weird question, because you can describe the overarching plot but not the weird branches it shoots off into

Like, “Homestuck is about a reality altering video game that comes about at the end of every world that, if beaten, allows the players to become gods of the next world. we follow four kids from our world who play it, the aliens from the previous game that made our world, and a ‘reboot’ game that comes about when ours fails.”

And then someone asks about how the fuck Betty Crocker plays into it and you don’t fucking know how to answer without a goddamn essay

Anyway a serious anti-imperialist take would examine how the United States’ actions and rhetoric during the War on Terror serves as a toolset for the oppression of domestic Muslim populations which has been adapted by governments around the world (China, France, and India come to mind)
