For what it's worth, I was in my early to mid 20's when 9/11 happened and the aftermath made me super angry because it woke me up to the reality vs what you're taught when you're young. MANY of us in the US absolutely opposed what was happening. We were horrified by the way the US reacted, and the shit it did. It's just that, as a US citizen, we really don't have any power to affect how the government acts. I can only think of two times when I was VERY angry with the US, post 9/11 and the way our government reacted to the post George Floyd movement. I saw a video where we had tanks rolling down the street with armed men behind it yelling "get in your house". You then hear one of them yell "light 'em up!" and they start firing rubber bullets at these people who were standing on their BALCONY filming this. These people had no idea the ones yelling were even yelling at them. The very idea that all of the elements of tianmen square was there in the US just boils my blood. And then to see so many video's of police officers TARGETTING media or attacking people with impunity. Even the death of the officers in Tulsa, OK. The lawyer released an affidavit stating that he had watched the police cams and the police were basically beating the shit out of the guy before he finally reached into this car and pulled out the gun. The affidavit stated that the police lied about several aspects of what happened, most specifically that the shooter never stood over them after the fact and shot multiple times into the downed officers, but that instead the shooter was panic'd and started running away (backwards) when one of the officers tried to pull out his gun and the shooter then fired again at that police officer. I've said more than I should have, but I'm both extremely angry about this stuff and immensely disappointed that my country isn't better than it is.
