Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Call me crazy but I think events like those deserve yearly commemorations. But bipartisan views on American exceptionalism hold that we must only rarely mention them again if ever. If we spend too much time thinking about mass shootings and tragedy - we might question the exceptionalism. And we mustn't do that. It's a scared conception.
They can't let something like that take off, or else we'd do nothing but commemorate past atrocities/tragedies. There would be multiple commemorations every day, which might make people realize that we don't have to live like this.
You can tell I am a true USAan because I have multiple stories about being both directly and tangentially involved in horrible tragedies
I hate that 9/11 is the big
never forgetmoment, when my life has been a never-ending stream of calamitieshope you are taking care of yourself comrade, it sounds like you've been exposed to a lot of psychic radiation
Not to worry, I see a therapist once a month
I just tend to get morose during these cold winter months
Partially inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjfrJzdx7DA, we could set up twin pre-memorial sites (physical and webpages) for the people who will be shot in the US in September 2035 and for people who will be killed in car crashes in the US in September 2035. Leave room for 3000 pictures/bios at each. Hold a ceremony every October. Would the hate increase or decrease after they both inevitably fill up?
