There is a strange psychology to 9/11 conspiracy theorists. On the one hand, you claim to be truth seekers, to question the government, to label everybody else as sheeple, etc. You insist that 9/11 was an inside job, that it was all orchested by America, or a cabal within America, that the Muslim terrorists had nothing to do with it, etc.
Just think about this, for a second. If you believe this, that totally denies the Muslim terrorists their own agency, their own willpower and planning. You deny that they wanted to and were able to carry out the attack. Now, as horrific as the attack was, at the very least one can now see that there are people out their with legitimate grievances against America, and they were willing to act on that belief, even unto death.
But you say no! Impossible! We did it to ourselves! You basically see America, or people within America, as totally responsible for everything, including the attack on itself. It's actually a way of protecting yourself, and of doubling down on the idea of total American power.
See what you do? By insisting on the inside job conspiracy, you conveniently assert your own power, and the power of your own country. You absolutely cannot stand the thought that there are others out there who hate America and are willing to act on it. This is a strange, inconceivable thought to you, so you fall back on the belief that only we were capable of doing it, and we must have done it to ourselves.
Not true! There are indeed people out there who hate America, and are willing to act on it. In fact, there are many within Europe, Russia, China, etc., who, although they may not attack America, are probably already planning to end American dominance. Yes, you really are hated for your wealth, for your power, and always will be, as long as you have the wealth and power.
