Irony. Does it hurt your butt that bad when your whataboutism is replied to with whataboutism?
Don't go confusing my refusal to allow you to frame the discussion on your own terms with some kind of tacit approval on my part of your framing.
Several nations, unfortunately. And there's no singular date, but rather a long sequence of events over 500 years. If you're looking for me to be upset with American imperialism, then look no further. But that still has nothing to do with 9/11 remembrance.
The whole world participated in slavery. Only the Germans made pogroms an industrial process.
false equivalence, i clearly and directly addressed the 9/11 victims, and merely asked if you also think of the grave injustices committed as a direct result from it. that's not a whataboutism. trying to deflect by bringing up something completely UNRELATED is.
you being so defensive and STILL dodging the question clearly illustrates your typically american, ignorant perspective (one of the reasons those people hate you, not a justification for anything ofc, but an explanation). some questions don't have to be answered directly though, your reaction speaks for itself, and i can't say i'm surprised.

Imagine being such a piece of shit that you go to a funeral and ask the mourners why they aren't mourning some other funeral. There are 364 other days of the year that you can mourn for the victims lost during war.
typical cockboy 'argument' - imagine being such a piece of shit that you simply don't care about those people but pretend to - just not on this day that would be the perfect opportunity to do so - because you don't have the balls to admit that. imagine you were alive and witnessed how hundreds of thousands were killed by your leaders under false premises, and you did fuck all about it, quite the opposite, still support the architects and profiteers of those crimes.
