Thanks, I replied to that thread with this:

My friend.

These kids grew up watching a weekly to daily 9/11 happening around them, in the form of 7 million global deaths from COVID, treated again and again as a total joke. Half the population essentially won't even admit it's real, and even the people who admit it's real tend to have not taken it very seriously at all.

They were constantly threatened for a huge part of their childhood, a lot of them have dead relatives including dead parents, and it's still doing a 9/11 a month just in the US. And 75% of the ones with dead parents gave COVID to their parents because they were forced into a goddamn classroom.

How could they take this seriously? Ask yourself, what makes you feel somber about it- is it the number of deaths? No of course it's not the number of deaths - so what is it? Could it be that you absorbed a cultural phenomenon over the last 22 years that they weren't exposed to? Don't you think maybe you were acculturated into tearing up and saluting so you'd maybe get thirsty for the blood of innocent Muslims?

Not to mention it happened before they were born. You don't give a shit about the Boxer Rebellion, that doesn't make you cry. So why would they care about this overused blip on the radar?
