    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.

        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

              No, it’s just futile last stands against a superior force are something that’s romanticized. And The Alamo is a prime example of one.

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