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 meant if god snapped his fingers and I appeared in heaven holding a remote control then God said to me "fly that plane into a building in the middle of one of the top 10 cities in the world"

I'd beg him not to make me do it, and then aim for the world trade centers when he said I had to or he'd delete the universe

weird and inappropriate analogy

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Weird, yes

you aren't the appropriateness police tho, we are literally in a thread about mocking 9/11 on !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

I meant asside from the bad taste of the joke the analogy doesn't match the situation being described or discussion well

No, they have a valid point. If you had to pick a building that probably had a bunch of random evil stuff going on that would be it. They could have blown up Disneyland. That would have been a bigger propaganda hit. Instead they ment to strike at the heart of the worst people doing the worst things on earth. It was an okay pick.
