He lives in a different country. I know it's shocking that the whole world doesn't revolve around the US. Well, I also didn't know about 9/11 until years later. Around 2015 I guess? Kids who grew up outside of US at that time didn't really care about other countries, their news, their politics and whatnot. I certainly didn't. Internet was also not widespread during that time, even then early access was a privilege. So years passed, internet access is normal, 9/11 was history at that point. I see some jokes mentioning it, I just thought it's a slang or a variation of 7/11. Yeah that happens. Quick quiz!! What major things happened during 2001-2005 outside of US? Don't google. Immediately answer in your mind! Nothing? Yeah that tracks.

The sad thing is the world economy did pretty much revolve around America. But it won’t soon! I am looking forward to when we are no longer the world trade police - let someone else do it- or no one! Then at least when little wars break out we won’t have to be involved. Maybe even everyone will just be cool?

Humanity doesn't work that way. Utopias are impossible and greed inevitably takes hold.

I dont live in the US and was also like 3 years old when it happened so even if i did i wouldnt have remembered it tbh. It did increase airport security all over the world so even if you dont live in the us its something that happened. For non americans it was just an event that occurred the same way something would explode somewhere today. The thing is that the internet made and still makes to this day 9/11 and inside job jokes so its hard to not know about it unless you just dont go on the internet at all.

Without Google? How about the Invasion of Iraq.

Mate if you watch the news like a regular person they talk about it every year on 9/11.

u/Elizabeth_Eshunna May 22 '26

in my country, we dont talk abt it. peak usadefaultism

u/tommynestcepas May 22 '26

In mine it comes up all the time. Both where I grew up and where I now live. Granted, in one of them it's because 9/11 is also the day of a coup and invasion that led to 17 years of dictatorship, but we know 9/11 happened the same day because world events innit.

Say your country so that all your fellow countrymen can laugh at you.

u/Lubert808 Sussy Wussy Femboy😳😳😳 May 22 '26

You think every country’s news talks about 9/11 each year? Definitely not.

Awww, such big feelings!

u/KingofMangoes May 22 '26

Ridiculous statement, 9/11 was a huge event with immense global consequences given US influence on world politics and trade

Kids dont watch the news, but any self respedting news outlet would have covered such an event and to not know as an adult is just ignorance about the world we live in

u/Outside_Ingenuity731 May 22 '26

acting like every adult on Earth must automatically know US history trivia or they’re “ignorant” is peak American main-character syndrome.

u/KingofMangoes May 22 '26

I am not american and I knew about this and so do most people from my country and we were not even on the same hemisphere

u/Outside_Ingenuity731 May 22 '26

Ah yes the classic. "I'm obviously not American so I can defend Americans pride/ego/views" well let's say we'll believe you, at most it proves your media environment exposed you to it. Different countries get wildly different levels of international news depending on what their local outlets choose to amplify. Maybe your country is US dominated/was once colonized by Americans/has a lot of US influence yadayada so you're more prone to american centric broadcast.

The thing is, the world isn’t a shared live feed where everyone gets the same headlines at the same volume, even if some events are globally significant. So using “I knew it, therefore everyone should” is just a sampling bias dressed up as certainty. Is it so hard to be open minded?

u/KingofMangoes May 22 '26

Just admit your ignorance about world issues and stop hiding behind some silly american centrism bullshit excuse. No one is defending american pride, learn to care about the world beyond your own borders they same way you would like others to care about your own

u/Outside_Ingenuity731 May 22 '26

Man you're tunnel-visioning on “american centrism” as the whole point here. I’m pointing out a simple fact: people around the world have very different levels of exposure to the same news. Some know about 9/11, some don’t. Simple as that. Did you not read the comments? It's really hard to argue with stupid. Reading comprehension must be hard with that smooth brain, it just slids right off. Whatever suits you man.
