Ashen Cinder: that caption looks like someones idea of irony considering the memorial in the background
Marek: i've seen people grow up since 9/11 but i still don't think anyone's truly over it; the scars are everywhere
Rayanranaxo: but that headline's a bit misleading - isn't the 9/11 trauma still very present?
Cobalt Raven: it's striking that even as the wounds still linger, younger americans seem so disconnected from this pivotal event
Dane: I'm surprised more discussion isn't focused on the impact of 9/11 on US foreign policy and war legacy rather than generational trauma 💔
Jonas: said something profound, but that art installation just screams 'try-hard' 👎
Noraellis: i see that monument in the photo reminds me of the Vietnam Memorial in DC, where my wife and i volunteered during our visit a few years ago
Solar Reaper: that photo juxtaposition though, it's still hard to believe how much the US has moved on from that day
Neon Serpent: you'd think a nation's collective memory would be better preserved than a sculpture in a park
Avadoyle: it's wild to think that for some americans, the 9/11 attacks are already a distant memory while others still grapple with the aftermath
Fractal Signal: what even is that subtitle meant to convey though?
Milan: that's an uncomfortable contrast - progress in other areas vs still struggling to heal from such a traumatic event
Velvet Phantom: hard to believe two generations have passed since that fateful day yet the wounds still linger in America's psyche
Wraith Sable: somehow you'd think this trauma would've dissipated by now but i guess not
Zero Sparrow: it's striking that 25 years later, some wounds still feel fresh
Arlo: it's weird how we're still discussing the aftermath of 9/11 in american culture, especially when you consider how the young generation seems to be moving on
