"We became complacent and underestimated the military capabilities of the inmates of our concentration camp and it's the worst thing since the holocaust" is a hell of a thing to say.
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.
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.
I think they desperatly yearn for some really bloody loss to fuel their messianism
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
The 20+ year brainrot to think that one of the only act of wars on US soil was was the worst act of war ever
Okay, how many 9/11's have the Palestinians (or Gazans specifically) suffered in the last two weeks? Let's play this game Israel.
Did the math:
For Palestine (~5,200 deaths since Oct 7th), it's about 105 9/11s so far. On average that's about 6 9/11s daily.
For the Gaza Strip (~5,100 deaths), it's about 230 9/11s so far. Or 14 new 9/11s every day
Btw I calculated the Israeli 1,400 death toll in proportionate 9/11s and got the same "fifteen 9/11s" figure as Biden. No fucking clue how Netanyahu got 20, maybe he included abducted and missing people in deaths?
if we use the current population of Iraq, ~44 million, and we estimate that the invasion cased 1 million deaths, then that works out to around 23,000 proportionate 9/11s in Iraq
listen you're really twisting my arm here, i can't go any higher than forty-five 9/11s
turning a big dial taht says "9/11" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right
Shows how little world leaders actually give a fuck about 9/11 or terrorism, it’s just a frivolous and silly football for them to kick around and make jokes with
Come on we can get the projections on what we are doing to Palestine even higher!
Israel will be a fucking laughing stock, half the world will boycott them and their citizens. The blowback for this shit will be far worst than what they ever thought the Palestinian resistance to their occupation ever was.
An Israeli passport will be persona non grata. I wish the UN would just expel them.
Bullshit. A 9/11 is not a unit of lives lost. It's a word meaning "Any collision between any two objects".
And yet when I tried to enter the stadium with an AR15, security stopped me
That’s because you were colliding with it. You can’t play football while going through security!
they always meant per-capita. 0.00001% of the population or whatever
if you have 100 people in some group and one of them dies that's like 100 9/11s to that group.
or something. i'm tired and high so maybe don't take those numbers literally.
I've declared that cancer, dementia, heart disease, and stroke are the new axis of evil!
She actually died in a car crash but since our family owns a series of car dealerships I didn't want to get into all that.
By the way, checked the math, and even if that was your last grandparent, 100% of the population would be 94,882 9/11s.
Liberals would still use that 450,000 number anyways though
The actual numbers are worse than you thought:
2,996 deaths out of approx. 284,267,319 Americans = 0.00105%
1 death out of 100 people = 1%
This comes out to 948.8 9/11s
It's incredibly funny that 9/11 has become the international SI unit of mass casualties. I want to encourage using the standard prefixes with it also. This attack was 3 deca9/11s.
We keep the original 9/11 under glass in an NYC vault. You can go and look at it if you want, but it's losing two or three people every decade so we're currently trying to figure out a way to express 9/11 in terms of the speed of light and the charge of an electron.
When you go over 900 billion 9/11s you unlock Terarizz
Imagine 800K Americans, 400K American children, dead in 10 days. That's what the bombing of Gaza is equivalent to.
*oops, had an extra zero
uhh you're going to need a fuckload of people moving to israel to have 100! 9/11s there
