    I’m not saying it was anticapitalist. I’m saying that failing to realise the target was chosen for what was in the buildings and not just because they’re tall buildings is pure liberalism, and a view that liberals would love you to have because they absolutely don’t want anyone questioning why finance capital would be the target when attacking america with the intent to provoke the reaction they achieved. Because any questioning of what finance capital actually does would lead people to realising the vast majority of these people weren’t innocents and that would harm the entire propaganda party that ensued immediately afterwards about all those “poor innocent people who didn’t deserve it” as part of the immediate consent manufacturing for the war on terror and axis of evil efforts.

      You know that that’s what every tall building is right? There’s literally a whole thing about how skyscrapers basically exist for capitalism. They chose the WTC because that tall building in particular would be particularly terrifying to watch blow up and collapse for the rest ofnthe city (which you know, is mostly working class people, like everywhere else).

      any questioning of what finance capital actually does would lead people to realising the vast majority of these people weren’t innocents

      Even if every single person of the 3k who died in the WTC was a CEO or high-level management in finance capital, they still wouldn’t deserve to die how they did. Even if I personally support lining them up against a wall, I don’t cease caring about 9/11 because I want them dead anyways.

      Now, in the real world, for every finance capitalist, there is a team of employees, paid hourly, who are not capitalists but are selling their ability to work for a wage like most of us. They were the majority of the people who died in 9/11.
