Osama Bin laden is a very controversial figure, and the United States government went from calling him a liberation hero to sending operatives to neutralize him with a grenade. Don’t read if this offends you. I am not promoting his ideas since they are based on radical islam and ideologically incompatible with my political ideas, but I will be discussing his legacy and why he is so controversial.

While I never advocate violence, it must be mentioned that Osama’s plan included sending a plane into the white house to destroy it. In the 2000’s this would be a great tragedy, but in modern times where liberalism has less of an ideological monopoly, I think there would be more diverse reactions to seeing the white house on fire or severely damaged by an explosion. Obviously we’re not criminals, but imagine that you are oppressed by the regime your entire life and suddenly some islamic terrorist sends a plane into the white house and causes a bunch of destruction. Are you sad? Are you going to lose any sleep? Do you care? What if it was even the Trump Tower? We even have a historical precedent for extremists attacking the white house since the rightists broke inside and flew the confederate flag in there. People weren’t sad, they were entertained.

While it’s obviously wrong to commit terrorism, the government continues to motivate it by continuing the existence of Israel. Obviously in the 2000’s the politicians were talking about how the situation was an attack on liberty and democracy, but nowadays that feels like pushing political beliefs onto us. The United States government needs to learn that just because someone attacked them doesn’t mean they’re good.

I did some research on radicalization the other day, and they said that the main factor in a person being radicalized is society refusing to acknowledge an injustice. Once I heard that, I had to wonder if society is doing this on purpose. The modern liberal society creates so much poverty and marginalization of various people and then refuses to acknowledge how they created such a situation. They have Gaza in ruins and blame Palestinians for their own genocide. They have all of us living in a society that makes us think we’re crazy for tracing our issues back to the policies and actions of the state. I have not been ignoring the elephant in the room that Bin Laden killed so many people, but I find that the government wants us to focus on the innocent people he killed rather than the people he was targeting that are arguably less innocent. Our politicians, the pentagon, and the zionist American government don’t want people to see Osama’s attacks as a consequence of their foreign policy, because that would lead us to stop thinking like good citizens of the regime. If you’re reading this from anywhere in the continental US, you are probably a marginalized person with injustices against you that society is unwilling to acknowledge, let alone improve the situation. Since injustice going unacknowledged is the prerequisite for radicalization, that means the majority of the working class population is ripe for it. That might be scary if you support the government, but exciting to some who realize the days of the US regime are numbered.

When Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America went viral with people realizing they have been living a lie, the regime censored it because it made people realize how their government makes them unsafe by engaging in endless violence and imperialism. Osama Bin Laden was an islamic terrorist and of course tried to preach to us, so I got a bit annoyed when he complained about intoxicants and tried to convert us like some unwanted missionary at the doorstep of our house. However, he is surprisingly progressive when it comes to Palestine and says some things that people need to hear that would be physically impossible for a US politician to say or even come close to acknowledging. When you live in a society that teaches you middle eastern people hate us “for our freedom” or that hating people is “Just a part of their culture” this eye opening caused many people in the US to realize that their entire lives were built on lies. Liberalism has no way to reconcile itself with the realities of US imperialism, so his letter exists as an exit point to the brainwashing and oversocialization put onto us by the regime.

I would encourage you to take a look at his letter, and let me know if Bin Laden was truly this cartoonishly evil stereotype hating America for no good reason. Especially during a time when Zionist genocide is visible all over social media, I’m sure you guys can provide an interesting answer to that question.
