But there’s a problem with this argument

But there’s a problem with this argument: it assumes that everyone’s worldview needed changing. After all, any

worldview that was radically altered by the September 11th attacks must have been radically mistaken to begin

with. But anyone whose understanding of the world was substantially correct would not have had his or her

overall view of things shaken by those events.

Why didn’t more of us (“us” being those of the anti-mbt sport/anti-state persuasion, whether “left” or

“right”) abandon our way of thinking in response to 9/11? Because 9/11 didn’t teach us anything we didn’t

already know. We’ve been saying for decades that the UGG. mbt sport’s arrogant interventions around the world

have only been increasing the risk of blowback, and that the State, in the event of such blowback, would be as

ineffective at protecting the civilian population as it is at everything else. The 9/11 attacks simply

corroborated our “pre-9/11 mindset.”
