This is based as far as I can tell.
It's a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.

It's definitely more palatable when the strangers you're killing are nazis
I can agree that there's been an extremely minuscule amount of justifiable war in an endless number of wars.
But the story in the greentext takes place in 1932, before the Nazis even got into power in Germany.
Yeah I’m struggling to come up with the war anon could be referring to…
Japan was invading China.
But this is clearly fake and connected to the month of June.
Anon probably read a story about this happening and assumed the heir of the protagonist. Then used online for attention and group feedback on his projection that hiding in a cave is somehow based.
They are probably in that cave right now.
except they mostly weren't
It's a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.
Killing for yourself: Government will track you down, kick your door in and throw you in prison and maybe send you into the death row.
Killing for your government: Government will provide training, shelter, equipment, pay you and award you medals.
Killing for your government: Government will track you down, kick your door in and throw you in prison for refusing to.
Fixed thar for you :P
Do not forget about right to rape and steal dishwashers on your government enemy territory!
Tribalism. Our tribe is good, their tribe is bad. If you are not with your tribe, you are a traitor, so people are pressurized into this, and start believing lies about our glorious pride and wise leaders.
Probably a cooler picture than Stanhope appreciates, but:
War is for pussies
Real men talk out their problems without violence
Sometimes war is brought to your door.
Recent ones: Gaza. Ukraine.
Yeah
Started by fucking pussies
Defense isn't war.
War masquerading as defense is for fucking pussies
Defense can still be war.
Putin is deepest pussy.
Because that worked out so well in this exact case, Neville Chamberlain?
Hitler was too big of a pussy unfortunately.
Can be pussy and based. And based on the world war death tolls, there's a very high chance OP would never have been born otherwise
this says it was 1932
Indeed, is there more you want to comment? Or is there more you would like to know about the 1930s in Europe? Now I understand that I am taking a liberty with the assumption that OP is referring to European heritage, but I could direct you to a book or two to expand your knowledge of history
okay, sure. which country was fighting a World War in 1932 *edit - come on, why did everybody get so quiet
Where does it say world war? I only see war in my country.
I think you should consider the build up of armies/navys on the 30s. Also some pretty quick runs into Fascism. Red army was taking tons of people for the meat grinder
compulsory military service when you're not in a time of war rarely exceeds 2 years. I haven't looked into it, were people who were drafted in Russia in 1932 still serving in 1939?
***Soviet Union and yeah. Stalin had his 5 year plan(s). So there was a huge labor demand. This is opening a whole other massive topic that is to long to type on mobile. You can't think in a modern conscription sense. The Army was likely the only job around for most, 3 squares and place to live. The great depression wasn't just in the US so you can see how it would be easy to get sucked in. Add in Nationalism and Fascism, bitterness from devastation of WWI. Some saw this as a national duty to rearm and rebuild the army. So they would be looking for young men from every territory for labor/soldiers/sailors. I mean you can look basically any where on earth during the 30s and see that everyone was just getting ready for round 2
Honest question, but where in 1932? Asia sure, but Europe?
There were massive buildup of standing armies. Particularly France with their mobilization to construct and man the Maginot Line. Germany and England began reconstructions of huge and modernized navys. Italy was full throttle Fascism around this time. And yes, Japan was moving some serious weight into China
Thank you, that helps. Was conscription going on outside of Japan at the time?
Was it between wars?
yes?
My grandfather did the exact same thing. But he was in conquered France and did it to avoid being drafted by the Nazis.
Edit: There were also a stories of other people in the village finding other ways to avoid the Nazi draft. One of them pretended to be deaf and managed to avoid falling for a few tricks the Germans played on him in an attempt to expose him, such as dropping a coin behind his back. Another one reported to the draft medical examination after purposefully biking over an insanely long distance. When he arrived he was completely exhausted and the doctor deemed him too anemic for military service. All of those in the village who couldn't dodge the draft were sent as cannon fodder on the eastern front and never returned, except for one "lucky" individual who lost a leg.
TIL there were a lot of conflicts occurring in 1932: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Conflicts_in_1932
There has been tons of conflicts occurring every year since the beginning of human civilization
Humans? I knew it! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them!
Based purely on names, about 90% of those are HARD pass from me.
The other 10% are a soft pass.
My favorite is the Battle of El Sauce, at which the International Consortium of Spanish-speaking Countries defeated the Yum! Brands Taco Bell Corporate Mercenaries to save the word "salsa" from extinction
it's likely you're here because he hid...
It depends on the war we are talking about I guess?
The only war I would participate without question would be if my country (EU) was invaded.
Absolute based in any other scenario.
What country was drafting in 1932? No major war effort going on anywhere at the time afaik.
Old man was pussy pilled.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
