Was life better before 9/11? (at least in the US)

[Deleted member 43928]

I'm an 18-year-old zoomzoom and all the time I hear old people talking about how things used to be so much better. They often cite 9/11 as the "turning point" where things have just been getting shittier and shittier ever since. Are they just viewing the past through rose-tinted glasses or are they right? Please help me out with this one, oldcels.

It was the time where the US got in a new war (officially), so of course times got tougher

Yes. I was in the 5th grade on September 11, 2001 - and I am afraid to say, I feel that is part of the reason I am an incel. Instead of adults focusing on raising smart, and loving children - American society went full-idiot, and getting a couple ragheads living inside caves on the other side of the planet became the top priority.

Not in burgerland but there was a lot less security everywhere. At the end of a sports game you could run onto the field, now you can’t
