E349. "Never Forget" Is a Dumb Slogan - 9/11 Anniversary - Dumpster Fire
from Dumpster Fire with Bridget Phetasy
Twenty-five years late, but Bridget has decided she hates the phrase "Never Forget." It's passive, it requires nothing, and we slapped it on a bumper sticker and called it grief. She breaks down why Gen Z's 9/11 memes are Gen X's fault, why we didn't guard the grief well, and why "Never Forget" should have been "Never Forgive." Also: Charlie Kirk's assassination sits one day before 9/11 on the calendar now, and what that means for how we process tragedy in America.9/11 CNN Story & Chat Link - https://x.com/hurricanenoelle/status/2097896963861795282?s=46Get tickets to see Bridget open for Carmen Lynch at Comedy Mothership October 2nd through the 4th - https://comedymothership.com/#September11 #NeverForget #DumpsterFireTopics covered: 9/11 anniversary, 9/11 25th anniversary, Never Forget slogan, Gen Z 9/11 memes, Charlie Kirk assassination, grief and social media, meme culture, Gen X vs Gen Z, unalive censorship, 9/11 history🔥 New episodes weekly.
