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 think in general one of the sticking points for libs is the attitude of some Bernie-bros/dirtbag left as they called it and people like Hasan that unironicaly said exactly this, "the US deserved 9/11". Its been a talking point for years really.

Personaly I agree with this and I don't see any problem, I guess one issue is that many leftists still don't understand that violence isn't just justifiable, but sometimes necessary and sometimes literaly the only way. We have xi-plz after all.

The talks about revolution, how to deal with class traitors etc this goes back to the 19-20th century, nothing here is new.

I think also before we even talk about American working class having to suffer as a consequence of revolutionary or just anti-imperialist actions from American capitalists enemies, in the 9/11 case specifically this is a false premise since both towers were realy just very high end financial/big corporate offices.
