The New York City mayor will sign two executive orders honoring those impacted by the attacks, as he faces campaign to exclude him from the 25th anniversary commemoration
There are over 3 Billion people or almost 36% of the worlds population that weren’t even alive when 9/11 happened. Add in maybe about a hundred million more of anyone who is 25-28 and doesn’t remember anything from when they were a toddler.
In addition to that, the US only has 330 million and of those, close to 1/3 are under that mark too. So now you’re talking only about 220 million out of 8.3 billion people even were “directly” affected by it and that’s only 2.5% of the global population.
It may seem significant in your sphere, but globally, it’s fading quicker and quicker.
I was specifically excluding the people I know who were too young to remember it from my statement as they can’t have forgotten something they didn’t experience to remember in the first place.
But even including the group you are talking about I still don’t know anybody who wants to be at war in the Middle East.
I’m not saying they don’t exist, but it does make me feel like we are being ruled by a tiny minority especially when you keep seeing polls that say that 70+% want universal healthcare and we still have representatives on the “left” who won’t support it just as one example.
Your reply was responding to a comment that said many adults have no memory of it because it was 25 years ago, they were referring to those not born yet or too young to remember
