    They’re losing the audience here. An average American will not believe that anything is worse than a single 9/11 with the honorable exceptions of Pearl Harbor and Alamo.

      this For Americans who still give a shit about 9/11 they don’t like the idea of being one-uped in terms of the victim complex

        What is with the Muricans and the battle for Alamo? it’s probably the most overblown battle in the history of humanity.

          They don’t view it in the larger historical context of American settlers fucking over an existing nation so that they (the settlers) could own slaves, they only view it as “smol bean resistance fighters against big army”

            I think they desperatly yearn for some really bloody loss to fuel their messianism, but alas they’ve been mostly winning all the time and even when they loss it’s not really huge manpower losses.

            President Xi pretty please.

              Depending on how old you are, if you were old enough to remember 9/11, you wouldn’t just think that

              You’d know it

          It’s a good old boy lost cause that racists can reminisce about publicly to dogwhistle their racism

        And for those who don’t give anything at all, twenty times zero is still zero.

        Does laughing like a giddy toddler at 9/11 memes count as caring about 9/11?

          Yes, but it’s a negative number, so you have to laugh even harder at Israel memes

      To be fair to those people, 9/11 involved no military casualties while the Israelis are including soldiers deaths in their count.

      No you don’t understand! Israel is 15, no 20 times more important per capita than you Americans - things Americans love to hear
