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.

I would never joke about 9/11 to someone who actually lost friends or family during the event. On an individual level, it really was an unspeakable tragedy and immensely traumatizing for thousands of people.

But meanwhile the US government will still not apologize for nuking Japan twice, pulverizing primary schools and killing 30x as many people in the blink of an eye. So yeah, on that scale 9/11 is a hilarious joke indeed.

As someone who’s lost people during 9/11 and saw the towers fall from New Jersey… you can make fun of me for all of the above.
