That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.

The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn't pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.

The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.

So you want all businessmen, firemen, EMTs/Paramedics, secretaries, receptionists, janitors to be executed because of their complicit support of capitalism and NATO imperialism?

No, Just the bourgeoisie.

Not sure where you got the idea that we'd wish harm to our fellow proletariat simply for providing indiscriminate aid in a crisis.

What do you call 2000 dead businessmen? A good start.

I just find this very reductive. Just because someone was working in the WTC doesn't make them the bourgeoisie. Maybe I don't understand class distinction well (actually I know I don't), but I find takes like these wild and dehumanizing.

Heres a very good starter guide on the subject of Class distinction that you may find useful.
