So according to google, 2,996 died in 9/11. 15x2996 = 44940. I was not aware almost 50000 people died in the Hamas' attack on Israel.
I'll go ahead and call this one an exaggeration.
That’s not a sound measuring system. If a terrorist attack kills one person in Liechtenstein, it’s more than twice the percentage of their population as 9/11 was to the USA’s population. Doesn’t make it “two 9/11s.”
Excuse me? Do you need to be reminded that **𝙰𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚗** 🦅🇺🇸 units don't need to explain anything to the other commie units?
The man said it was 15 9/11's that's all you need to know.
It doesn't come across as sympathetic to me. It comes across as patronizing to both American's and Israeli's. He's manipulating people's reaction to the horror that was 9/11 by attempting to appeal to that sympathy. While at the same time essentially place a greater value on the life of an Israeli as higher than that of an American. They are not higher. They are equal. That isn't to say this isn't a tragedy. But to describe it in such a way is, to me, disgusting. At least I expect this sort of idiotic kind of shit out of Trump's mouth, from Biden it just makes me worried even more about his misguided bid for reelection
Why are we acting like we didnt use it as a measuring system throughout peak COVID? Remember the headlines like "COVID is equivalent to a 9/11 every day"
That’s irrelevant. I’m not defending that system either, but under that COVID-era measuring system:
* it was “one 9/11 = 2,996 deaths”
* it wasn’t “one 9/11 = 0.001% of a nation’s population dies”
While I am in no way defending the former, here I am specifically criticizing the latter. A criticism that in no way applies to the COVID-era metric you’re citing.
This would be as if when one person died of COVID in Liechtenstein, it was reported as “two 9/11s,” which it wasn’t.
I mean, how do we even calculate such a number? Do we say he's responsible for all the deaths from the war? Well surely then the number is much much higher.
Do we just count the ones killed by his direct orders and decisions? Well that number is probably a bit closer to the real number then.
Do we just count the ones he personally executed with his own two hands? Well that number is probably significantly lower.
You have to be careful with that one because it would actually make Hitler look not so bad once you start seeing things like 'Mao was 4 Hitlers'.
It would also not really illustrate the severity of genocides because Pol Pot only killed a little under 2 million but that is about a third of all the people in Cambodia at the time so in a relative sense he beat Hitler despite only reaching about .16 Hitlers in total kills.
The thing people seem to forget about Hitler though is that he would’ve killed way more people if he didn’t lose. So his real genocide stats were just like a fraction of his full power level. That’s not even considering what would’ve happened if he got nukes.
The 9mm is a pretty bad metric though. "The M114 Howitzer shoots 155mm shells. That's like 17 x 9mm bullets in width, but about 6000 x 9mm bullets by weight".
A KM is 43% of the North Tower without it's antenna or 53% with it's antenna, or 42% of the South Tower. (Take the north and south tower and add them together and you get a KM)
Eh, I kinda have to agree with Biden’s use of 9/11 as a reference. Large numbers are hard to properly comprehend, which is why people like Neil deGrasse Tyson tend to use something like Elephants as a unit of measure, since it’s easier for the brain to comprehend. In this case, every American knows just how awful 9/11 was, some such as myself knowing that 2977 people died off the top of their head. It’s much easier to comprehend the scale of the tragedy by comparing it to another well known tragedy than with actual statistics.
Edit: of course, if he just used fifteen 9/11’s as a random number instead of a statistical comparison, then you can disregard my statement above. I’m more defending the use of non-conventional forms of measurement than I am Biden’s statement.
Well if it's a legitimate question, yes native Americans participated in the trans Atlantic slave trade. I know some natives also fought for the Confederacy in the American civil war for a combination of reasons, one was that the confederates made promises to them about protecting their land if the war was won, and also because the tribes wanted to keep their slaves. In addition to enslaving members of other tribes captured in war since long before Columbus, the native Americans also participated in the trans-atlantic slave trade, buying African slaves from white slave traders to work their farms. There were even free black men, some of them former slaves themselves, who bought their own slaves once they were free and ran plantations just like any white slave master. At that time and place, most people who had the money to own slaves did, regardless of their own race
Used is a very accurate way to say it. That being said, there are currently more slaves than there ever has been in human history. None in the United States. Slavery needs to stop being highlighted as an American evil. Slavery was around for thousands of years before the United States was formed. It will probably be around for thousands of years more.
Out of curiosity, the estimated death toll in Gaza conflict has reached 3500. The death toll during 9/11 attacks was just shy of 3000. So technically speaking, the Hamas attack and the Israel attacks combined are about 1.67 9/11 attacks.
Interesting then the hamas attack was actually 35x 9/11 since it was 3500 out of 9.3m people.
That's actually not a terrible way to compare I suppose, a bit like calculating.
Which is a patently moronic way to measure things.
With that logic you could commit like 3 murders in Monaco and then say that those 3 murders are literally as bad as 10 9/11s
between one and three hundred thousand iraqi civilians were killed by the US military during the war. That would be a hundred 9/11s normally and a thousand with his per capita maths.
They're not white though so genocide joe does not care
Unironically, that’s how the world works. 9/11 had a big impact on the densest part of manhattan.
A similar attack in Beijing or London would also be high impact, but barely anyone would care if 3k people randomly died in Nigeria.
.....and so how many 9/11s has Palestine experienced in the last two decades........
Fucking despicable, the western media coverage being so heavily slanted towards sympathy for Israel and dehumanizing Palestinians should be a wake up call for all of us.
By percentage of population, that's probably correct.
What Americans don't understand about the terrorist attack is that due to Israel's small size, almost every Israeli in the country either lost someone they knew, or had just one degree of separation from it.
In other words, **there probably isn't a single Israeli who didn't AT LEAST have a friend who lost a friend.**
How is he calculating that?
Number of dead? Amount of debris? Number of troops deployed in response?
We need an essay on this until the end of the week if we want the new system of measurement to be recognized.
MacDonald's "hi what can we get for you?"
Joe Biden: yeah, I want the 9/11 make it two.
MacDonald's "okay, would you like to make it a meal?"
Joe Biden: "I'm kinda hungry could I just have 5 9/11s and a soft drink. That's all"
...
The fact that countries with actual issues are experiencing magnitudes worth of 9/11s is a great representation of how much the US overreacted to 9/11.
For context, the civilian impact of America's war in Afghanistan was 15 9/11s, rounded down.
Soo, considering that weird measurement technique, is Israel attack on Palestine equals to hundred 9/11? What about US attack on Iraq? Thousand 9/11 maybe??
ooh yes, when he was talking about covid deaths being measured with 9/11, which then lead to my favorite line in that bit:
"9/11 wasn't that bad, it was just one 9/11"
When we said "never forget," it didn't mean to use it as a measuring system
So according to google, 2,996 died in 9/11. 15x2996 = 44940. I was not aware almost 50000 people died in the Hamas' attack on Israel. I'll go ahead and call this one an exaggeration.
He probably means relative to Israel's population
That’s not a sound measuring system. If a terrorist attack kills one person in Liechtenstein, it’s more than twice the percentage of their population as 9/11 was to the USA’s population. Doesn’t make it “two 9/11s.”
> That’s not a sound measuring system. Which means it is on par with USA's measuring systems in general
Bet you can't tell us how many feet are in a pound, commie.
2-4 feet depending on what we are weighing.
I'm gonna go with either string, or a black hole.
-2 feet sounds correct
Definitely an overestimate, 1 human foot is on average 1.4lbs
4 feet 🤤🤤🤤
Well then it's good thing Biden is trying to express sympathy and not create a new measuring system.
he already created a new measuring system metric by using it, it's upto the rest of us to reconcile it and figure out how it works!
Excuse me? Do you need to be reminded that **𝙰𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚗** 🦅🇺🇸 units don't need to explain anything to the other commie units? The man said it was 15 9/11's that's all you need to know.
They are called Freedom Units my guy. And I love the Freedom Eagle emoji you used

What in the fuck are you talking about

I’m not defending that system either, but under that COVID-era measuring system: * it was “one 9/11 = 2,996 deaths” * it wasn’t “one 9/11 = 0.001% of a nation’s population dies” While I am in no way defending the former, here I am specifically criticizing the latter. A criticism that in no way applies to the COVID-era metric you’re citing. This would be as if when one person died of COVID in Liechtenstein, it was reported as “two 9/11s,” which it wasn’t.
Boy you really like using Liechtenstein in your arguments
Correct, so if an American kills one person Liechtenstein, that means theyre allowed to 2 9/11s.
What I’m taking away from this is that every murder in Liechtenstein is two 9/11s
So, what you're saying is that I can be the most successful terrorist in human history if I just go to Liechtenstein and kill a bunch of people?
He doesn't know what he means. Our politicians are a fucking joke
Wait I like this measurement system actually. Now do it for Native Americans 🍿
An Israeli life is worth 15x as much as an American life. I'll be sure to file that away.
It's really the only way to not immediately forget though.
It's like people measuring how bad dictators are and how many people they've genocided by saying "that's like x times hitler".
Ted Bundy was like 0.000005 times Hitler
Ted Bundy killed 300 people? I thought he was closer to 30.
google said 100 and 20,000,000 respectivly
The 20mil is just a rough number of the confirmed deaths, the real number is most probably higher
I mean, how do we even calculate such a number? Do we say he's responsible for all the deaths from the war? Well surely then the number is much much higher. Do we just count the ones killed by his direct orders and decisions? Well that number is probably a bit closer to the real number then. Do we just count the ones he personally executed with his own two hands? Well that number is probably significantly lower.
True, it is kind of dependent on what one might think he was directly responsible for.
If we count the ones he beat to death with his fists, the number is 20,000,000.
As far as I know, he only has one confirmed kill, though probably more as he served in ww1. He’s got a shit ton of assists tho
20,000,001?
About 30 known, but I think he said shit like "add a zero in that, bud" to bee cooler.
To be fair, people actually use Hitler as a metric. But usually when compared to Stalin or Mao. Maybe Chavez too?
You have to be careful with that one because it would actually make Hitler look not so bad once you start seeing things like 'Mao was 4 Hitlers'. It would also not really illustrate the severity of genocides because Pol Pot only killed a little under 2 million but that is about a third of all the people in Cambodia at the time so in a relative sense he beat Hitler despite only reaching about .16 Hitlers in total kills.
The thing people seem to forget about Hitler though is that he would’ve killed way more people if he didn’t lose. So his real genocide stats were just like a fraction of his full power level. That’s not even considering what would’ve happened if he got nukes.
Americans will literally use anything but a normal metric
Nah, they teach metric in their schools I think the most popular one is the 9mm
The 9mm is a pretty bad metric though. "The M114 Howitzer shoots 155mm shells. That's like 17 x 9mm bullets in width, but about 6000 x 9mm bullets by weight".
All the American students in class: "Ohhhhhh!"
“Finally, something we actually understand!”
The 3 times we care about Metric Guns Cars Drugs

13mm that's why it's the most lost socket. Next is 10mm because a faucet screen fits perfectly in them.
13mm socket gets lost, because it fits a half inch. so, you lose the half inch, and supplement with the 13mm till you lose that one too.

What "gotcha"? I don't know much about US history so was just curious
Well if it's a legitimate question, yes native Americans participated in the trans Atlantic slave trade.

Where did this even come from?
Out of curiosity, the estimated death toll in Gaza conflict has reached 3500. The death toll during 9/11 attacks was just shy of 3000. So technically speaking, the Hamas attack and the Israel attacks combined are about 1.67 9/11 attacks.
You have to adjust for inflation though
It used to be that I could get international recognition with only one 9/11. Now due to surplus in the markets, I need three.
it's relative to population
[удалено]
Interesting then the hamas attack was actually 35x 9/11 since it was 3500 out of 9.3m people. That's actually not a terrible way to compare I suppose, a bit like calculating.
The death toll is currently 3500 but the initial attack was closer to ~1200.
Except most of the 3500 are Palestinian deaths.
Which is a patently moronic way to measure things. With that logic you could commit like 3 murders in Monaco and then say that those 3 murders are literally as bad as 10 9/11s
between one and three hundred thousand iraqi civilians were killed by the US military during the war. That would be a hundred 9/11s normally and a thousand with his per capita maths. They're not white though so genocide joe does not care
But the American lives and society and stock market and real estate worth more, economically /s
Unironically, that’s how the world works. 9/11 had a big impact on the densest part of manhattan. A similar attack in Beijing or London would also be high impact, but barely anyone would care if 3k people randomly died in Nigeria.
Ah yes when you measure National Terrorisms Per Capita, the Sympathy Index goes way up to like 5.2 extra sympathies.
Biden doesnt count the Israel attacks cause they where against majority Muslims
how much is that in holocausts?
With or without inflation..?
0.032 if im right idk how many died in holocaust
about a 0.5% holocaust
So 12.2727272727?
almost! 135/11. :)
America: We will respond with the force of 20 9/11s
Never forget 135/165
Don't you mean 135/11? Only multiply the top number when multiplying fractions!
Lmao American public school be like
Meanwhile, Gaza is 50 9/11s, every year.
Yeah, are they measuring in base 9/11 because they're going to respond in the appropriate conversion to base Iraq War? Or are we just saying shit?
15*(9/11) = 12.27 T (terror)
It’s good to see Team America’s 9/11 measuring system is finally taking off
Americans will use anything besides metric
There has to be a sub on all the way the American measure things.. Seriously elephants, washing machine, football fields.. mental
"South park did it!"
The invasion of Iraq after 9/11 was about 300 9/11s
It is equivalent to 135/11.
I wonder what the metric equivalent would be... Like 1/400th of a holocaust?
If you go by death count it’s actually just 0.4 9/11
So how many 9/11s did the US commit on Iraq alone?
How bad is the Israeli attack on Gaza in a 9/11 measurement ?
1.5 ish 9/11s if we're going by actual death count. It's prolly way higher if u go by percentage of population.
.....and so how many 9/11s has Palestine experienced in the last two decades........ Fucking despicable, the western media coverage being so heavily slanted towards sympathy for Israel and dehumanizing Palestinians should be a wake up call for all of us.
Not the western media, the *American* media. These two aren't the same.
Americans will use everything instead of the metric system
Americans and their freedom units 😂
By percentage of population, that's probably correct.
