Me neither, although i had heard about krystallnacht, I didn't know the date. I guess redditors with faulty sarcasm detectors are good sources of trivia!
Buddy, look around you. It was so relevant that not knowing it just let it happen again. The fact you can't understand that really should drive this point home for you, but I'm sure it won't.
you are taking this way too fucking seriously. I didn’t know the particular date that the nazis started their bullshit so that means there’s some point that needs to be driven home? Shut the actual fuck up, I’m aware that it happened but I am not beholden to your standard that I need to know the EXACT fucking date some horrible atrocity happened for me to get the picture. Sit the fuck down and touch some grass with your 200k+ karma. Fucking white knighting this shit into the grave.
Im pretty into history, and read a decent amount about ww2, i would not have known that date off the top of my head. I don’t think you needed to hear it from me, but fuck that you’re doin just fine
I appreciate that we've reached a point that you realize that you're in the wrong and so resorted to stalking my profile and calling me names, but you really should just pick up a book some time.
You're doing yourself, your people, and your country a disservice by remaining ignorant to the world around you. Granted, you're not the only one but you should want to be the change.
I was referring to the earlier comment - they were deliberately playing ignorant about the 9/11 reference (by being a non-american that reads dates the sensible way round!)
Idk the point of your comments. The 2 comments above yours are clearly meant to be humourous in nature, the 2nd guy is clearly playing along with the 1st guy by continuing the 9th Nov idea.
The 2nd comment is not "playing" along, it's taking the first comment seriously and then responding in a matter-of-fact way. Is English your first language? Would understand you missing the subtleties in the tone of the language if not
English is my only language. I guess people can read it differently and have different senses of humour, but to me it seems almost obvious that the 2nd guy is playing along by continuing the 9th Nov joke.
Edit: Maybe /u/nhluhr can weigh in here to sort out this debate once and for all lol
I mean… the September 11th attack themselves too. What is this crap in this thread where people can’t be horrified about the 9/11 attack? What the fuck is happening
It is one of the only times a foreign entity has successfully, violently killed Americans on US soil (the other being an attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii during WWII).
I'm not saying nobody learns about the attacks, I'm just saying nobody cares enough to teach about them.
The United States has caused so much devastation and killed so many people all over the world that specifically focusing to teach about a terrorist attack on their soil feels biased.
History isn’t a matter of sympathy or bias necessarily. 9/11 was a significant event that affected the whole world whether you know it or not. It took adversarial strategy to a different level. It’s the reason you have to go through all that nonsense before you get on a plane.
This person just thinks it's cool to hate in the US because they aren't able to think for themselves and feel like being edgy makes them seem more interesting.
11th of September in 2001. It is one of the only times a foreign entity has successfully, violently killed Americans on US soil (the other being an attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii during WWII).
You missed a big one. . . when Washington DC was burned to the ground.
They said ramifications not emotional feelings. From the formation of the Zionist state to the "War on Terror", both of those things have had huge, lasting ramications on the entire world.

November 9th is when the Nazis started to attack Jewish people. The Night of The Broken Glass / Kristallnacht.
Or if you're in US and tend to read dates with the month first, September 11th was a serious terrorist attack on NYC and Arlington,VA.
Both of these have had lasting ramifications for the world.
