9/11 is absolutely fascinating to me, because it seems like it

>>3178882
i remember a certain "shift" in everyone's mood after 9/11. i was a third grader so i was too young to really understand the gravity of the situation, but things just didn't feel the same after that day.

>>3178882
People outside of America didn't give much of a shit about 11-9 mate.

The thing was that we began waging unjustifiable wars on the middle east and decided it was ok to torture, this, mixed with the constant banging on about terrorism is kind of disillusioning.

The reality is that there is a listlessness in the world at the moment. Technology seems to have stalled. Making smaller and better phones rather than curing cancer.

Like Karl Pilkington says "its the age of pissing about". We spend our time shitposting or working pointless jobs in an urban nightmare rather than exploring the world or the universe.

>>3178882
You are correct anon and if you're ready for a serious redpill you should know that 9/11 was an elaborate human sacrifice ritual orchestrated by (((tptb))) to usher in the "New Age" of the new millennium.

>>3178903
I never watched cable news so honestly this never seemed that big to me because I never watched the same footage 500 times in a row.

It was used as an excuse to push all sorts of bullshit such as bigger government and more invasions.

if you're willing to deal with Baudrillard's style, this is a great piece on 9/11 written not long after it

http://insomnia.ac/essays/the_spirit_of_terrorism/

symbolically, it was a staggering event
the U.S. - a country at the height of global power - was hit right in the heart
by a foreign power? via invasion? no. a bunch of guys hijacked a plane (itself a symbol of global connectivity and technological advances) and flew into the tallest buildings in the most important city in the country, taking them down
AND another plane into the nation's capital, into the HQ of the Department of DEFENSE

the illusion of American safety from overseas attacks was gone. the government responded by establishing a surveillance state and invaded two bumfuck countries halfway around the world.

but to connect 9/11 to a GLOBAL bleakness is silly. this was an American tragedy. try telling someone in Eastern Europe or China or hell the majority of the planet how great the '90s were and how everything went downhill from there

>and that's ignoring the fact the US had its fair share of domestic issues in the 90s: Waco, Ruby Ridge, the OKC bombings, the '96 Olympics bombings, the original WTC bombings in '93, the LA race riots, the President committing adultery in the White House.
the difference this time was that it was someone else crashing the house-party, in the most spectacular way imaginable.

That's because it's one of the first high casulties that was reported on in the moment and was caught on camera and broadcast on national television that only happened on american soil.

and I mean High casualty, not 11 to 20 people, in like a bombing or a shooting, but we're talking 2000 + people, being actively broadcast on national TV that actively happened on U.S soil.

blue pulled goy detected

Its when the 1st world realized that they were not insulated from the rest of the worlds problem, and that shit like this wasn't just something that happened to yam farmers in Africa.

In other words, the Soviet Union was a decade old memory, and those who remembered WW2 were largely confined to old folks homes or dead. We no longer had a sense that we could be threatened until 9/11 shook us awake. Before that some clusterfuck in the Mideast just meant higher gas prices.

>>3178966
it's significant to globalization and world trade, but it's not like the WTO was shaking at the idea of al-Qaeda going around disrupting the global economic system. that was not their goal.
there was no reaction to the attacks on par with America's. not to say nobody gave a fuck outside of the US, it definitely caused alarm that such a thing could happen, but it will go down as an American (not a global) happening.

>>3178954
That's the Fucking point you dolt

>>3178995
obviously the reaction was more acute in the US but it will go down in history as an event of global significance because of the US response in Iraq whose ramifications are still playing out in Syria and Europe (via refugees) and yes the ME has always been a shitshow but the Iraq invasion kicked things into overdrive

Fuck off, Burger. Nobody outside of fryland gives a damn about your breach in security.

do you have an alternate explanation for how depressing the world has gotten in the 21st century or did you just come to be a twat for no reason

>>3178882
I live in an Eastern European country that's part of NATO, before 9/11 nobody gave a flying fuck about American military actions around the world, but after it happened our government turned full neocon, mainstream media were spewing anti-Arab propaganda nonstop and we offered our bases and troops to Americans almost instantly.

>>3179020
whether they care about it or not is irrelevant because it changed the world regardless. international travel will never be like it was pre 9/11 and that's just an obvious example, there are countless other subtle ways the attack had a global impact

It is more America's reaction than 9/11.

They rightly reasoned they shouldn't give in to terrorists, however the way they reasoned was irreparably changed.

>>3178904
people outside of the US don't / didn't give a shit about 9/11

>>3178930
shit went down when the US went on their rampage in the middle east, thinking they would fight terrorism but igniting the little fire that later burned the whole middle east and the western world. Europe suffers because all those refugees and terrorists can simply walk there without getting controlled or detected.

Was a second grader, didn't even know what the WTC was. Was having a hard time figuring out why they hated pentagons so much. I also asked my dad why people were still talking about it two days after it happened.

I always wonder what it would've been like to witness it unfold when I was older. Just the shock of seeing two commercial jetliners crash into two giant skyscrapers that would subsequently collapse.

>>3179024
Ok, the 1990's were one of the highest times of civilization, at least Western civilization. America had "won" the Cold War, capitalism triumphed over communism, a new world order had sprung up overnight. Historians called it the end of history. Everybody felt we were finally going to be at peace with one another, but the rest of the world didn't see eye to eye. The Middle East was still a mess, we just didn't hear about it much because frankly we didn't care.

Then 9/11 happens, the West is pulled into the Middle East and that has been a disaster. Then in 2008, when people were sick of war and the negative attitudes toward America, a recession hits. The recovery doesn't help the middle or lower classes at all, it's just a bandaid. 9/11 kind of kickstarted the gloomy mindset you describe, but it isn't the sole reason for our general attitude.

Curing diseases is not always a good thing friend. As it is the amount we spend on health is unsustainable. If there was some expensive cancer treatment that worked 100% of the time we'd spend all that money on people who would then get heart disease and so on until we're bankrupt. Preventing sickness in the first place and making current cures and treatments less expensive is far more reasonable and productive than adding an average of a year to people's lifespan. Curing cancer isn't even high o n the list of things that would greatly improve humanity's condition.

Sorry for the autistic rant I just see this all the time and it's shortsighted.

Corporations nor governments like cures, they like prolonged "treatments" because curing isn't profitable whereas treatment is.

We've already seen massive coverups in the past: massive corporations bribing scientists to claim "fats" were harmful to health and not sugars, in fact there was a time (in the 50s or 60s I believe) where corporations and governments were trying to say that every healthy child should eat one chocolate bar per day. What a meme.

Then a more topical issue, global warming: oil companies basically hired/bribed scientists to skew results and coverup global warming/climate change. This coverup made it all the way to the highest levels of government. Why? because people are greedy. Cash is king.

Do I think there's a cure for cancer (or at least some forms of it) that's being hidden, kept secret? Yes with one hundred percent certainty. Not only would it hurt the cash flow but governments want their people to die off - human culling is seen as a benefit in modern times for obvious reasons.

Did you know that before 1973 it was illegal in the US to profit off of health care. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 passed by Nixon changed everything

>the law Nixon mandated also included clauses that encouraged medical providers to not CURE afflictions, but to PROLONG them by only treating the symptoms. There’s no money to be made in CURING sickness.


Is the health insurance business a racket? Yes, literally. And this is why the shameless pandering to robber baron corporations posing as “health providers” is such an egregious … and obvious … tactic to do nothing more than plump up insurance company profits.

the downfall of the American health insurance system falls squarely on the shoulders of former President Richard M. Nixon.

In 1973, Nixon did a personal favor for his friend and campaign financier, Edgar Kaiser, then president and chairman of Kaiser-Permanente. Nixon signed into law, the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, in which medical insurance agencies, hospitals, clinics and even doctors, could begin functioning as for-profit business entities instead of the service organizations they were intended to be

Ehrlichman: “… the less care they give them, the more money they make.”

President Nixon: “Fine.”

Ehrlichman: [Unclear] “… and the incentives run the right way.”

President Nixon: “Not bad.”

because it was a gigantic act of terrorism in a 1st world country, in what many would consider to be the "center" of modern society, NYC. Thousands of people died. two airbuses flew at over five hundred miles per hour into sky scrapers with people in them right over peoples heads, and we have it all recorded on video.

It's an insane scenario, like you're on drugs or something. Even watching video of it happening and hearing the explosion as the second plane hits, it's extremely disturbing and violent. You don't think about it because it's 1/4th of a mile in the air/100 stories high, but this was an airbus flying into a sky scraper and exploding, twice.

It's almost a certainty.

It's basically an open secret among those who work in computer assisted biomedicine.

Hell, even the public research suggests there are highly efficacious treatments that aren't used on anyone who isn't special.

The simplest thing I can think of off the top of my head is glucose preference among cancer cells. Sugars are prefered 10:1 as a fuel source among cancer cells compared to normal cells. A sugar molecule ionically bound to iron that has magnetic properties has been shown to tear cancer cells apart when they are exposed to magnetic forces.

Basically, since the cancer cells are 10x more likely to interact with sugar compared to normal cells, this treatment will kill 10 cancer cells to every one normal cell. This is much, much more effective than chemotherapy or radiation. Both of which, actually cause cancer.

There are even magnetic sugars that don't pass the blood brain barrier, and ones that can be almost completely localized to one part of the body. Say you have kidney cancer. To treat it with this method, you only need to find a magnetically active sugar that greatly interacts with the kidneys. So, one that is forced to be renally metabolized. Then you just calculate the half life and break out the electromagnet when the largesr amount is being metabolized to localize the treatment and damage.

Radiooncologist here

we are not utilizing technology that has existed for decades like cryoimmunoablation (ablation plus immunotherapy) or even personalized medicine based on molecular pathways

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_ablation_and_immunotherapy

our good nazi goys incorrectly calibrate the equipment (e.g.,- beam geometry is too large/wide) , use far too high of an MeV, and have quick, successive treatments often 24 hours apart. All of these will lead to adverse outcomes and prove to be detrimental to the patient.

they DO NOT provide treatment to patients

If low dose radiation is used and treatments are spaced, at minimum, three days apart (ideally longer) with excellent equipment, it is extremely beneficial even if the patient seems like a lost cause. I also induce ultra-low dose radiation in a slightly larger radius in the surrounding area 2 weeks prior to treatment. This minimizes damage by provoking a 'paradoxical', 'hormetic' response. The repair mechanisms to radiation damage treatment are thought to be upregulated by these lower-doses which from my experience drastically minimizes localized toxicity from later treatment.

>>3178903
Yeah same. I was 10 years old. Things just seem different and it's difficult to articulate why.

I think it's a general understanding that enormously bad things can happen at any time. I, and I think the American public as a whole, believe that such an attack could happen again at any unexpected moment. I fully expect another incident on the scale of 9/11, if not bigger, within my lifetime, absolutely

>9/11 is absolutely fascinating to me, because it seems like it has left the entire world in a depression that exists into this very day. And i don't mean just, "oh its the 10th anniversary of 9/11 so sad" or even on the scale of 'horrifying tragedy that made people sad'. It seems to have had a profound and permanent effect on the mood of the entire world,

>the entire world is America

Literally nobody gave a flying fuck about it, if anything it was hilarious to see Americans blubbering about something that happens everywhere else since forever.
There was a change though, Americans became totally retarded and unlikable chauvinists afterwards. Any slight sympathy the world might have had is long gone now.

I don't think that's unreasonable. America was the biggest superpower the world's ever seen. We're supposed to be safe from terrorists. Either they're ultimately minor like the WTC bombing, small domestic terrorism that doesn't do anything or it happens on targets outside the US (Kenya embassy and USS Cole). I think the only terrorist attack I've seen that's comparable is the 11/2015 attack in Paris but even that pales because you only saw the aftermath.

9/11 was so well documented and you're able to see the entire attack play out from the first plane crashing into the towers to the final collapse. Not to mention the pure psychological effect; seeing gruesome aftermath might be bad but seeing jumbo jets fly into a building and explode and people jumping to their deaths from skyscrapers as its happening is another matter entirely.

>Nobody cared about 9-11 outside of America
Do you faggots actually believe this? Britain and France sent massive condolences and worked alongside US intelligence to try and track down terrorist organizations immediately in the wake of 9/11. Airport security was bolstered and air traffic fell due to passengers fearing another hijacking around the entire world, not just in the United States. The US led a coalition of willing allies into Afghanistan, and then two years later into Iraq, under a pretense of war largely gained from public fear of terrorism. 9/11 marked the beginning of a worldwide shift in how intelligence and security agencies operated, and marked the beginning of large-scale Islamic terrorist attacks in the West. Even outside of that, there are plenty of people you can talk with who remember it shattering their own sense of security outside of the US, because the single largest power on Earth that led the entire global order at the time just got attacked in its most important city. Not to mention the stock market crash that immediately followed in its wake impacting global markets. It had massive fucking global repercussions and the lives of millions of people and allocation of trillions of dollars were changed overnight around the entire planet, the fuck are you edgelords even saying.

It were my edgy teenage days so i didnt understand the sozio-politival changes it would bring but it also didnt trigger any kind of depression. That came later with growing up and the absolute emberassing wars based on made up accusations that followed. Seeing out politicians boot licking and defending a clearly unrightious war eas depressing. They had their heads so far in bushs ass and all anyone heard questioning was "but 9/11". That shit let me loose hope in out parties and politicians.

Operation Cyclone is justifiable, localized to Afghanistan and engineered to contend with the Soviet Union and it's proxies (an actual existential threat to the USA)
The Gulf war actually convinced a lot of Islamists that the USA was a friend to America, willing to shed blood to protect the Saudi regime and the holiest sites in Islam from a psychotic irreligious Baathist. It was only Osama and a few devotees that clung to the notion that the US was an enemy, Somalia, Khartoum, infinite reach and more were more persuasive than his rhetoric in rallying Islamist and recouping funds.

>Soviet Union and it's proxies (an actual existential threat to the USA)
This is wrong. At no time did the USSR have the technological capacity to destroy the US, they never even had the missile tech to create a real "MAD"-scenario

>>3180806
Wow damn that sure invalidates the concept of a coalition, and even then that's only the coalition that was led into Iraq. Afghanistan was an even wider international effort.

>>3180810
>9/11 did nothing
>notes changing political tones and wars
Really makes you think

>>3180828
"Fig leaf" would probably be a more accurate term.

>>3180801

>Do you faggots actually believe this?

This is what everybody is saying over and over again in the thread.
Official condolences? Those are politicans bro, thats what they do.
Coalition of willing allies? It was just your establishment buttbuddies looking for sloppy seconds on oil deals and privatised companies in the illegally invaded countries.
The beginning of large-scale Islamic terrorist attacks? Terrorism was not invented in 2001 you ignorant fool.
Shattering their own sense of security outside of the US? No! No one cares, no one was terrorised. Nothing.
the stock market crash that immediately followed in its wake impacting global markets? Had zero effect on any real persons life, that happens all the time like rain and sunshine.
The fuck are you edgelords even saying? In my country there was "a national day of mourning" that week on Friday. Did you see American flags at half mast and everybody wearing black? No! They enjoyed this unexpected free holiday and paid day off from work.

So yeah, nobody actually cared to see some pompous fags get their comeuppance since thats a natural human thing.

>>3180917
That's some fucking extraordinary mental gymnastics you're pulling right there. You're honestly either one of the stupidest or most deluded people I've ever seen if you really don't believe that any of that shit you just mentioned had an impact on the average person.

>>3178904
obvious troll is obvious

>>3180932

I dont know what kind of propaganda they brainwash you with there but I'm just telling it like it is. Do YOU car when a carbomb goes off in Baghdad or an earthquake hits Papua New Guinea?
Also 9-11 was cynically and immediately used to invade Iraq for its oil despite everybody knowing they had nothing to do with it and the WMD stuff was pure bullshit.

>>3180327
That wasnt his point youdumb cunt. The fact is that the nutritional indistry LIED FOR DECADES about the appropriate amount of sugar consumption and fat consumption, treating the former as acceptable and the latter as a villain. Nobody gives a shit about you personal story fuckface

>>3180954
And guess what faggot?
What about those people in Iraq? Or Afghanistan? Or the people that lost their pensions to the stock crash? Or the people terrified to fly for fear of another hijacking?
You were quite happy to mention the people in your own country not caring, and even if that were true, even if literally not a single soul in your entire nation didn't care, your nation doesn't speak for the whole fucking planet. Just because it didn't affect your life personally, and even if by some miracle your country was entirely insulated from all of these events, that doesn't magically mean that everything happened in a vacuum in the United States.

>>3180347
The "muslim terrorism" started with 911... cause america dtarted enlisting allied to shill against islam and whip up islanophobia in the west. Not saying the muslims are goodbois only that it all started with 911, at least in the West

>>3180954
>car bombs and natural disasters are comparable to 9/11
Really makes you think

Reminder that people are debating edgy yuropoors who probably too young to be even aware of 9/11 when it happened

Kids who grew up in the post 9/11 world are ignorant of what life was like before it which explains a lot of posts in this thread

>>3178882
Because (((some people))) pushed a certain narrative in order to justifie war in the middle east in the eye of the public.

And by the way european dont really care about 911, much less the rest of the world.

>>3179020
Why do old European ladies always tell me about how much they cried that day when I go on vacation then?

>>3180984

>What about those people in Iraq? Or Afghanistan?

They had it far worse than Americans did when the deathtoll must be reaching a few million by now, boohoo for the people who watched too much fox news and are afriad of their own shadow.
I think you are blowing this whole thing way out of proportion.

>>3181001

Thats not the case at all, Americans are too far up their own holes to comprehend the outside world as is clearly evident here.

>>3180984
he's an edgy /int/ teenager spouting generic anti american memes

anyone who wasn't in diapers when it happens recognizes 9/11 for the massive paradigm shifting event it was

>>3181047
>They had it far worse than Americans did when the deathtoll must be reaching a few million by now, boohoo for the people who watched too much fox news and are afriad of their own shadow.
Way to miss the entire fucking point dumbass, the events clearly had a direct impact on their lives and to claim that they didn't care about it would be fucking disingenuous to what happened to them. What the fuck kind of point are you even trying to make, no shit people there had it worse than your average American, it still impacted them. If anyone's up their own asshole it's you for ignoring the entire premise of the argument just to bash on America again.

>>3178882
>entire world

Only in America. The rest of the world didn't give a shit. Even in other English speaking countries they don't care about it that much.

>>3181047
blah blah blah, we get it, they just laid down fiber lines in your irrelevant Turkish mountain village last year so you can spew america hatred 24/7 now, 9/11 was massively significant in the parts of the world with running water and functioning electrical grids

>>3181047
>t. born in 1999

>>3181075

The entire premise of the argument was this:

"9/11 is absolutely fascinating to me, because it seems like it has left the entire world in a depression that exists into this very day."

Yet most people are saying they didnt give a fuck at the time.
Thats pretty much it.

>>3180984
>even if literally not a single soul in your entire nation didn't care, your nation doesn't speak for the whole fucking planet.
But when an American says that everyone cared based on his experiences in the US, then it's a valid argument, because your rule somehow only applied to him?

>>3181108

>if you dont walk around on stilts in a suit made of American flags it means you hate America

>>3181142
The point is that 9/11 is commonly accepted as an important cultural and political moment and had a profound effect on the world but yuropoors are too butthurt to admit it because it involves America

>>3181158
No, but as was readily fucking demonstrated in >>3180801 shitloads of people cared outside of the US, and only somebody being willingly obtuse or too young to remember it would ever argue otherwise.

9/11 threads always bring out the butthurt Arabs and Turks on this board, like moths to a flame.

There was a month after 9/11 where half of the world was truly mourning and the other half was shaking in fear as to what the response would be, the only part of the world that was truly indifferent was MAYBE parts of South America, anyone else who says otherwise is an underage teenager.
