That kind of fear made it easier for people to justify the violence of that day<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/21st-century/9-11-attacks">1</a> and to feel satisfied by it, even when they did not fully understand the deeper political and historical forces behind it.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories">2</a></p>

<p>I can see how much of that worldview was shaped by anger, propaganda, and the need to find someone to blame. The East was often seen as innocent, pure, and victimized, while the West was seen as the enemy in its most brutal form.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_files">3</a> The truth is more complicated than that. The West has often used power, manipulation, and economic control to shape the world in ways that many people never fully see.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory">4</a> I don’t think anything serious will ever surface. There is a lot of money and more egos to satisfy.</p>

<p>I was raised in a household where life was often approached through managers sympathy, hope, luck, prayers, and the belief that God would somehow decide the outcome. That way of living can feel comforting, but it can also leave people emotionally and mentally unprepared for the harsh realities of the world. People are surrendering to their faith. Awareness is fought by the current media and brainrot. Looking for a strategy seems selfish and greed.</p>

<p>I am Gen Z. I was raised between the final stages of capitalism and these fragile inherited beliefs. I have doubts and I need answers for them. I want to understand the world more clearly. I am tired of the narratives and stories that were parroted to me.</p>]]></content><author><name></name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[I was born after the 9/11 incident in a muslim household in the Middle East, where many people were taught to see the West as a force of moral corruption and spiritual danger.
