    No, just wondering why the obsession with this one event. This particular event gets brought up more on lemmy.world than perhaps any other historical event. I would ask the same if people kept bringing up the great molasses flood and cracking the same old “slow as molasses” joke.

      Because it’s a world famous event that is virtually unknown in the host country. There are usually examples for each country.

      The US doesn’t know anything about the war crimes exposed by wikileaks.

      Russia knows almost nothing true about the Ukrainian war.

      The UK has superembargos (usually about celebs and royalty) which is only reported on abroad.

      Thailand doesn’t gossip about its royalty.

      Etc.
