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.

Perhaps I haven’t steeped in the irony here long enough, maybe no one here is serious and I’m missing the point. If the joke is civilian deaths, that’s fucked up. Otherwise if it’s about the subsequent hysteria and propaganda, then that makes sense. Just having trouble parsing some of the comments.

What do you call 2000 dead businessmen? A good start.

So you want all businessmen, firemen, EMTs/Paramedics, secretaries, receptionists, janitors to be executed because of their complicit support of capitalism and NATO imperialism?
