NYC may have forgotten about 9/11, but r/DoomerCircleJerk vows to keep its memory alive
EDIT: For some totally bizarre reason, the mods deleted the post. In any case, here's the [archive link](https://archive.is/kFLcT), because I totally saw this coming.
The Context:
Yesterday marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Emotions are naturally high during this time, but things are escalated by the fact that the recently elected NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is also a Muslim. This has sparked outrage, mostly in right-wing circles.
Unrelatedly, the DoomerCirclejerk subreddit is a reportedly unbiased sub that claims to poke fun at people who "doom" over current events. Despite an overwhelmingly large number of threads that openly mock people who dislike Trump/conservatives, they vociferously opine that they are not a right-wing subreddit. This has been called into question when they've been shown to get upset over issues such as the 14th Amendment and Charlie Kirk. Recently, someone posted a thread making fun of right-wingers dooming over Mamdani and 9/11. Surprisingly, this ruffled some featheres.
The Drama
Mod starts deleting comments:
[I'm conflicted on this, because I'm just not a fan of banning for different opinions in general. But it really does seem like this sub has just been infested with right-wingers that are going to be dooming all day when a Democrat takes over.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DoomerCircleJerk/comments/1wdeiiv/comment/p995ykr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

>We found a doomer, ladies and gentlemen > >
[Did you see AOC and him talking and laughing over when they were naming every 9/11 victim during the memorial? That was poor taste. I see some people don’t know what dooming really means. Pointing out that it’s bad taste is NOT dooming. Reading into their conversation and assuming it’s nefarious IS dooming.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DoomerCircleJerk/comments/1wdeiiv/comment/p9954v6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

[Polling from 2024 shows that nearly 40 percent of the Muslim population in the U.S. admitted to being willing to support the implementation of Sharia Law.

>This is such a weak and pathetic argument. Mamdami made a lot of promises that either backfired or he had to backtrack on like making free grocery stores then having to admit that taxes would have to be raised significantly to fund such a thing. Or promising to tax the rich more when led to the rich simply leaving the city and cutting the funds of the city. While I don’t think he’s a jihadist like the right wingers claim he is, he’s clearly not the brightest bulb in the room > >

[Citing facts about behavior and allegiance isn’t dooming. Mamdani’s Chief Counsel as NYC mayor is a lawyer who defended an Al-Qaeda terrorist. Mamdani made up a story about his dear aunty being afraid of wearing a hijab on the subway after 9/11 because she’d be attacked for being Muslim, even though that never happened and she’s in Tanzania. Mamdani and AOC were caught laughing during the reading of the names. I do t care why they were laughing, just fucking be adults and keep it together.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DoomerCircleJerk/comments/1wdeiiv/comment/p99amy8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
