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 mean let's be honest a state is made up of its people

There's no attack on USA that also wouldn't affect it's people

The people are always hit much worse than the ruling class because they own almost everything

this is true which is why I am against adventurist violence

was the 9/11 attacks adventurism? Serious question. It would be if I did 9/11. but was it adventurism for Al Qaeda?

I would say it was adventurism it certainly wasn't part of an organised military campaign

was it not? It certainly wasn't a traditional military campaign, but it seems to me it was planned and carried out more in that fashion than, say, the UNIbomber
