    Unpopular opinion: It wasn’t as bad as Americans are making it out to be.

    Why I say that? The loss of life during the pandemic exceeded a 9/11 worth of excess deaths every day and America was doing fuck all about it and arguing about masks. I think more people are broken up about it because it was a highly visible target and showed that America could be vulnerable.

    What I will say is that I’m more pissed that it completely eroded our privacy and made casual racism more visible.
