Bad example. American fury was so intense that some country was going to be invaded, and pacifists were called out to be the bitches they are back then.

Yes, the War on Terror was an amazing success whose resulting erosion of personal freedoms, the deaths of civilians and military personal, and expenditure of funds were entirely justified. In no way were all the people opposed to the war in any way correct---they were just bitches. /s

Where do people get this shit?

The crazy thing is almost everyone back then would have been fine with these. Even Doctor Doom crying over 9/11 was well-received until a couple of years later when most people were like "this is kind of silly".

The general feeling in the immediacy of 9/11 was an extremely weird and disorienting time.

post 9/11 had the country in a justified fervor for justice, its just that that justice wasn't really served and the leaders used it to go to a war they always wanted to engage in anyway based on lies and half truths.

i can't imagine the national temperature after pearl harbor tbh when we were attacked by an actual powerful nation. that did lead to a justified war in which we demolished the nazis and nazi level criminals of imperial japan

In fairness, Kingpin is a New Yorker despite being a heartless crook and he probably had some minions of his in one or both of the Towers when they were hit. IIRC, he also never went this far in his schemes. Doom and Magneto, despite each having done far worse both before and after 9/11, could have been respectively mourning Latverian citizens and mutants who might have died, whether in the Towers or on the planes.

But why the hell is Juggernaut there?! (Look behind and to the left of Doctor Doom, and you'll see the back of him there) He and Black Tom Cassidy had bombed the Towers once, during the first arc of X-Force (as well as an issue of Spider-Man that accompanied it), and he outright reveled in the senseless destruction they caused. He's pretty much the only one here who has absolutely no business being here.

Yeah, this is how I feel. The 90's had its own issues, for sure, but it also had a different, more carefree feel to it. Maybe it was because a lot of us here were kids then, or maybe those who were older feel the same way. Either way, that era ended culturally once 9/11 happened.

I think it's okay for us to look back on how we (collectively and individually) used to be and gag. I should hope that we're smart enough to do so.
