Sometimes war is brought to your door.
Recent ones: Gaza. Ukraine.
9point6@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah
Started by fucking pussies
Defense isn’t war.
War masquerading as defense is for fucking pussies

Because that worked out so well in this exact case, Neville Chamberlain?

Hitler was too big of a pussy unfortunately.

You turn the corner to see a skinhead repeatedly punching your dad in the face. Walk us through your next moves.
Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Based. Put the people who declared the war on the frontline.
Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s often the case when it’s a battle over shit like oil but for instance when Germany attacked Poland, it’s the Poles’ primary responsibility to fight for what is theirs. “Let the people who declared war be on the front line” okay well in this example that’s Germany and you’re going to lose everything your family ever worked for.
sam_sam@lemmy.world 4 months ago
*if you and your family own stuff. Which is not the case for most working class people. The same working class getting shoved to the front lines.
RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m going to go with based. I would not have wanted to be a conscript with the rank of private in any army at this time period. You’ll be badly treated disposable cannon fodder and you’ll be stuck in that situation until the war ends, until you get taken prisoner, until you desert, or until you died.
shasta@lemm.ee 4 months ago
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
pelletbucket@lemm.ee 4 months ago
this says it was 1932
Samsonreturns@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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
Etterra@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It depends entirely on what country Anon’s grandfather was from.
DaddleDew@lemmy.world 4 months ago
My grandfather did the exact same thing. But he was in conquered France and did it to avoid being drafted by the Nazis.
bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 months ago
TIL there was a lot of conflicts occurring in 1932: en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Category:Conflicts_in_1932

Humans? I knew it! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them!
ericbomb@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Based purely on names, about 90% of those are HARD pass from me.
The other 10% are a soft pass.
NucleusAdumbens@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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
plasticbuddha@lemmy.world 4 months ago
it’s likely you’re here because he hid…
Glowstick@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Depends on which war it was
pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
The one difference that matters if he dodged invading a country or defending his own.
rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
But sometimes you have to invade to defend.
How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?

thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
Did her from behind, of course
Num10ck@lemmy.world 4 months ago

Why is this so far down??

uis@lemm.ee 4 months ago
And it’s just one year! Damn, 20th century was very full of events.
gorgori@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Based if he dodged the Emu War.

joneskind@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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.
RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
country
EU
joneskind@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yes, my country is EU. My State is France.
I’m European before being French and I don’t care if it confuses people.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Depends on the circumstances, I guess
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 4 months ago
Depends on which country.
Outsider9042@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Old man was pussy pilled.
Wanderer@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Pussy. If you not going to defend your family and your countrymen when it’s needed whats the point?
A lot of people have died to make your life better. It didn’t come for free.
uis@lemm.ee 4 months ago
So everyone who do not fight for Putin’s yacts and palaces are pussies too?
Wanderer@lemm.ee 4 months ago
If they are avoiding it because they are “afraid” then yes. If they are doing it because fuck Putin then no
absentbird@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Doesn’t it depend on the war? A lot of good allied soldiers died defeating the Nazis, but a lot of good would-be Nazis also found ways to avoid service.
Every enemy draft dodger is one less soldier you need to defend against.
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
This is based as far as I can tell.
It’s a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.
Makhno@lemmy.world 4 months ago
It’s definitely more palatable when the strangers you’re killing are nazis
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
I can agree that there’s been an extremely minuscule amount of justifiable war in an endless number of wars.
Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
But the story in the greentext takes place in 1932, before the Nazis even got into power in Germany.

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.

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.
