Re: 9/11 culture change?

[nyxelestia]

If you've seen Captain America 2, a lot of people have commented that it's like the superhero version of 9/11 and Patriot Act.

Simplified version is single, sudden, and terrible event happened --> security becomes an obsession, to the point of sacrificing freedom (a lot of civil liberties) in exchange for security and protection. Everyone becomes extremely reactionary, a shit ton of the military conflicts of the last decade and a half have been either directly or indirectly justified by 9/11, etc.

It was especially shocking/impactful because of the contrast. The 1990's were seen as a time of relative peace and prosperity - the Cold War was over, the UN was actually doing things, and there was a lot of economic growth. Compared to the previous few decades, we were peaceful and rich. Then 9/11 happens, and suddenly the whole world is in constant fear of terrorism, we get caught up until multiple wars/military conflicts, and our economy goes on a roller coaster ride that ends with a barely-controlled crash-and-burn economic bubble burst.
