That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn’t pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

    9/11 didn’t really happen to america it happened to a bunch of random people. It was bad not even close to the worst thing that has ever happened and in no way justified killing a bunch of random iraqis

      I mean let’s be honest a state is made up of its people

      There’s no attack on USA that also wouldn’t affect it’s people

      The people are always hit much worse than the ruling class because they own almost everything

      Were the people working in the building that could be described as the financial capital of the world really RANDOM?

      Pretty sure there might be some severe statistical fuckery at play that makes this crowd significantly different than “random people”
