One of the odd things I’ve observed on social media over the past week or so is a sort of stern lecturing from members of Gen Z towards millennials, with one viral post saying we have a “weird, worshipful attitude” towards the September 11 attacks, among other things.
Well, yes. How could you not have that kind of attitude towards a day that so clearly marked the end of one era and ushered in another? “Worshipful” does not seem like quite the right word, but it would be strange to pretend that 9/11 was just another day.
