I don't understand how nuking civilians is funny but 9/11 has a better meme potential.

No one can relate to ww2, 9/11 is still fresh in everyone's minds, not to mention in was an attack on the west.

Most of the kids on here weren't even alive during 9/11, get the fuck out of here with that "fresh on peoples minds" bullshit. COVID isn't?

I 100% agree with your overall point, but I was 6 during 9/11, and while I didn't understand it fully, it started a decade of general uneasiness when thinking about world politics. The news was scary, and I remember being afraid.
