Being fair outside of usa and western Europe, does anyone else even remember 9/11? As changing to global politics as it initially was, why would the rest of the world care now more than a decade after? Unless it's one of the countries invaded by USA after.

Does anyone care about NATO anymore? Why bother learning from history.

Learning from a history and putting on a pseudopatriotic show to paint over any responsibility is not quite the same.

The US killed literally one or two orders of magnitude more civilians in retaliation for 9/11 and still acts like it was the second largest tragedy in the history of mankind, only slightly below the Holocaust.

Yes, 3000 victims is really bad, but what the US is doing about it is pathetic. It's a simulacrum.

The person asked why should anyone care about 9/11.

My point is, it is part of a historically significant chain of events, which resulted in all of the shit you are referring to. People should care because it explains a lot of global politics we are still seeing decades later. Not for any patriotic reason.
