Will Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold be remembered centuries from now? Will people from the distant future look back in history and consider Columbine as a historic event?
Doubtful, it's already somewhat fading from public consciousness.
not large scale enough
people remember the holocaust and 9/11, not 30 people dying in a high school
they wanted to be remembered but they didn't do it big enough.
>>25203269
What are some historic massacres of that scale then, and how can someone reach that level in today's society?
>>25203209
Yeah, maybe in the same way that those two fags who read Nietzsche and murdered some kid in the 1920s are remembered.
Will people remember Jonestown?
>>25203292
That principal who blew up his school in the 1930's (?), Italian anarchists planting bombs in NYC in the 1920s, etc.
>>25203344
Bruh, I don't remember either of those.
>>25203316
People already don't remember Jonestown.
>more mass shootings have happened in the United States this year than days have passed
>will some faggots from the ~90's be remembered?
no, nobody gives a fuck, if Bowling for Columbine hadn't been shown in every high school sociology class I doubt anyone would even know who they were by 2005
>>25203316
as long as horror movies keep milking it, maybe
>>25203344
Lol, the general public probably doesn't know about these.
If it isn't a massacre committed by a nation, don't expect people centuries from now to remember it, you dumb faggots.
>>25203316
I only vaguely remember this one
>>25203344
never heard of either

>What are some historic massacres of that scale then, and how can someone reach that level in today's society?
Dude, what the fuck.
Find something else to do that doesn't involve being a fuckup who kills people.
>>25203209
Not many, how many remember the Beltway snipers, they killed roughly the same amount of people.
>>25203209
They will always be remembered by 4chan as heroes.
But the normies have already nearly forgotten they exist
>>25203269
9/11 will be mostly forgotten, except by people with an interest in history.
It was not that great of a disaster.
>>25205296
>Beltway snipers
They killed over a period of 3 weeks, not hours
Where can I get the full videos of Columbine shooting?
>>25205413
It was on the news for months, and was much more indiscriminate killing.
Point is that barely anyone remembers it happening anymore, these events were eclipsed by more recent tragic events.
How many people remember the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center? How about the 1998 bombing of 2 US embassies?
>>25205422
In an evidence locker somewhere.
No, but the phenomenon of school shootings will
They might exist as some internet artifact in a database somewhere barring some world-wide calamity like another World War.
But they wouldn't be known by practically anybody, they'd be caught up in the distractions of their present like we are today.
For example how many people from the 15th century can you name?
>>25205738
This, and Columbine was the godfather of modern school shootings.
V-Tech will be remembered so will Sandy Hook.
You have to do something "of-note" to be remembered.
>>25203209
only if cartoon network turns it into a series, otherwise nah
>>25205920
>Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook
>there are people that have already forgotten it
I know /r9k/ likes to idolize school shooters and act like it's an edgy cool thing to do, but in reality the masses simply don't give a fuck.
>>25205608
How many people know about the Phoenix sniper just a month or so ago?
How many people know about the attack on the USS Cole in 2000?
How many people know about the Libyan attacks just three years ago?
>>25206000
>How many people know about the attack on the USS Cole in 2000?
That's just regular war between freedom fighters and imperialists
>>25206000
>Phoenix sniper
No deaths, no mass media attention.
>USS Cole
9/11 over shadowed it.
>Libyan attacks
Bombings and terrorist attacks are common place in the middle east and Muslim African countries.
-On the other hand
>Sandy Hook
Suburban American town, low crime rate. Some kid just out of the blue kills his mother, 26 kids and then himself. Mass media attention.
Sandy Hook was just in the papers a few days ago because it was the 3rd anniversary. It is still remembered.
>Virginia tech
Mention along side Sandy Hook and Columbine anytime school shootings or gun debate pops up. Mentioned by Obama on national television many times.
Kill a lot of people in a place were that stuff doesn't happen and you are carved into the history forever.
>>25203292
everything begins to fade away after some time: 13th centuary the Catholic church sanctioned the crusades which led to 3 million deaths...yet the catholic church has its own state.
NO ONE GIVES A fuck about death
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic_disasters_by_death_toll
>>25206213
Shit wasn't documented that well in the 13th century. The holocaust is remembered because there are a thousand movies, documentaries, books about it.
>>25206197
as u already pointed out urself, all those are "hick ups", anomalies in the daily life of normal people whos only connection to death are the news, movies, games or series. Ofc they will be mentioned even 20 years later but 50 years later or 100 years...
>>25206261
cuz the media can milk it as long as they want, simply cuz the masses think hitler is the most evil person to ever exist
>>25206197
>people actually believe this and give their life for it
Lol.
It's pretty shocking how diverse most of our public schools have become in only 15 years
>>25206355
Well they wont be remembered by the majority after 50 or 100 years.
But it will live on in a smaller scale for a long time.
For example that movie Elephant based on Columbine. Every time someone watches that they might tell their friends and the information will stay afloat. There is so much documentation of these events that it wont be like they will get erased completely ever.
They will be immortal so to speak. And that is exactly what they wanted.
>>25206434
Like is said it's what they wanted. They left a mark on the world. People who don't stand out and live unremarkable lives are swept under the rug of the world. Forever.
Thing is they are remembered for a horrible act. And that is what they are defined by. But they will be remembered even if it is negative.
>>25205387
Dude, 9/11 molded the 21st century. If the 20th century trully ended when Berlin wall fell down, the true beginning of the 21st century was the day the twin towers fell down. Such as world wars, hiroshima and Nagasaki, and others, 9/11 will be very certainly remembered. It has defined the invisible war that hovers our lifes: war on "terrorism".
It mostly certainly won't be forgotten.
>>25206592
This, 9/11 is literally teaches in schools all over the world as apart of history class.
>>25206460
that schools in bumfuck nowhere colorado
>>25206213
"tips fedora" fellow sir
>>25206810
yeah, bumfuck denver suburb
it's pretty white around here, I went to a neighboring high school a bit further out from denver, so it's whiter, it was pretty much like pic related. Columbine probably has a few more spics now.
who willl still remember Anders Behring Breivik in 50 years other than we old fucks then?
Everyone that isn't American doesn't give a shit anyway so in the grand scheme of things, no.
>>25207025
more mass murders than days this year, if this continues im pretty sure Murica wont give a shit anymore neither.
>>25206213
> 13th centuary the Catholic church sanctioned the crusades which led to 3 million deaths...yet the catholic church has its own state.
>>25206460
such a simpler time.
>>25203246
This.
Only loyal fans still recognize the names nowadays.
>>25203269
>wanted to be remembered but they didn't do it big enough.
And here we are, discussing it years after it happened.
>>25203316
Is that the 900+ people suicide?
>>25209829
yes suicides jonestown
