If anyone's curious he's talking in terms of 9/11s per capita. Americans will use anything but metric.

Are those constant 9/11s though? Based on COVID policy I'm estimating that one human life in 2001 is worth several dozen in 2023

Turns out the 2020 economy is worth more than a daily number of 9/11 deaths.

Actually it’s roughly half of one 9/11, by the numbers.

By the numbers in Palestine, though, these estimates get a bit closer

They justified these headlines by comparing it as a proportion of population, because we all know that murder is graded based on general statistics instead of real lives. For example, The Vietnam War was America committing over 12,000 9/11's...

And then Israel did like 6 morbillion 9/11s in response

Does anyone have a solid understanding of calculus and access to the Scales of Anubis? I need to compute a Fractional 9/11s per Mooch ratio

10•9/11 = 18.18

15•9/11=12.27

20•9/11=16.36

9/11 is a strange unit, but I guess it’s not weird by American standards.

if it was that bad then why does nobody call out netanyahu for funding hamas for years in order to destroy the pro peace left in gaza?

Like, shitloads of people ARE calling him out for that. 75% of Israelis want him to resign. Yet here we are.

I read the new daily and this is the first I've heard of this. I thought the country was firmly behind Bibi. I will say that America media hasnt really been as forthright as they should be on this subject.

oh i know i meant the politicians defending him and doubling the amount of 9/11s each day :)

It is concerning when a IRL political figure uses a term that was a joke in a marrionette movie (Team America World Police).

Satire is dead & some guy is doing something unmentionable to its corpse.

So 9/11 bad but holocaust ok? What a piece of shit to keep funding the genocide
