On 911

A lot of unresolved victimhood has to do with finding out how deeply one had been implicated in ideological constructs to begin with. This certainly complicates matters.If one cannot see how American imperialism (which, most of the working class of America did not have a say about) brought about the terrorist act, then one is still struggling within the ideological constructs that formed the event. In this case, there is little psychological resolution.

In short, getting to the truth, which is needed in order to resolve a deep trauma, is often much harder than we tend to imagine.
