Also 9/11 was a day — pandemic was 2 years that also crashed the economy

Didn’t more people die in the pandemic than in 9/11 too?

They are acting like Gen Z hasn’t had to watch 9/11 footage every year of our schooling. Sure, it wasn’t live but we also watched people die on TV (this isn’t even including all the school shootings weve watched on our phones)

Lots of people talking about the pandemic in the past tense. Covid is STILL happening. Millions of people are dead. Millions of people are disabled. People are continuing to die and continuing to become disabled….the trauma is ongoing!

gen z generally speaking has no memory of life before tragedy after tragedy.

Also, how many gen-z interacted with “authority” figures on Zoom? The stare/pause is absolutely a condition of making sure you’re the one being addressed.

Not to mention that they showed gen z 9/11 on tvs every year… like did I experience it in real time? No. But I sure did experience it over and over

9/11 killed 3k people, the pandemic 1.1 million. 9/11 was awful but did not disrupt daily life for literal years. like im going to be blunt there is a difference between an acute trauma and a chronic trauma and i think that applies here.

the 9/11 take is also very american-centric, i feel like gen z has broadened our own circles of perception much wider than our own countries, whether through consuming global content, making online friends, or just being more aware of global politics. i'm far removed from 9/11, and the first time i heard abt it was a movie we watched in middle school abt the violent racism that was prevalent in the fallout. the pandemic was terrible, for EVERYONE. this 'america first' way of ranking traumas is exactly what breeds the kind of administration we see in the us now

On 9/11 I had wait most of the day to find out if my godmother made it out of the Pentagon alive. I'll never forget the fear my family and I felt. But I still think the pandemic was far more traumatic for most people.

Coraline Jones :
yeah as a millennial 9/11 is not comparable to the pandemic it was a completely different kind of trauma to experience and most of us weren’t there and didn’t know anyone who died. meanwhile literally every person on earth was impacted in some way by the pandemic.

Daniel Montgomery 🇵🇸 :
I was born in 1983, I watched 9/11 on TV, and the pandemic was WAY worse. not even close. the death toll, the isolation, the economic stress, the fear of illness and death, soooooo much worse than 9/11.

One tragedy vs 2-3 years of arrested social development in formative years

I genuinely think the "gen z stare" is just the stare we give when someone either 1. doesn't acknowledge that we greeted them or 2. is rude to us and we are taking a second to collect ourselves so we don't react

And they can’t even claim the trauma of “watching 9/11 on TV” bc every single generation afterwards was forced to watch MULTIPLE ANGLES of the full attack almost every year in school, so we literally have all seen it.

The complete and utter fear that someone attacked us and would most likely continue to attack us unless we did something about it. Our parents were terrified. We had to watch everyone we care about cry. And we couldn’t make them feel better. We were told stories of peoples’ last moments. We watched the crews search for survivors on tv. We heard the voicemails from people’s loved ones. We heard their fear. They never heard from them again. We saw first-hand the true cruelty of man. Not just in the attack, but after. We saw the blatant racism. And a lot took part in it. We were lost and confused because we couldn’t fully grasp what was going on. We were young and on top of the world that we were promised. And it all came crashing down. We had to see the bombings that we weren’t desensitized to yet. I, personally, had to watch the guy that orchestrated it all declare a war that hasn’t stopped yet while Scooby Doo was on. I miss social distancing.

I think the fact that the country was worried we were being attacked by outside entities was the scare around 9/11…. not just the visual of seeing it on tv. Like I think there’s an entire perspective here that was missed.. everything military related- if you have any ties to military, you’d know that 9/11 changed how things operated as well as national security. If you look at how America was prior to and then how systems changed after. Not negating the other traumas or really having a stance on what you’re saying just pointing out a POV I feel like was not considered.

lol the people that tout 9/11 as the litmus for trauma willfully ignore the two twenty year wars that were justified BECAUSE of 9/11. Hundreds of thousands of people displaced and killed abroad but your Tuesday Social Studies class had a news break.

Columbine was 1.5 years BEFORE 9/11 and I think more traumatic.
