Depends on which country.

TTimo ,

What country was drafting in 1932? No major war effort going on anywhere at the time afaik.

FiniteBanjo ,

Idk about drafts but some conflicts in that period:

  • French-IndoChina vs Siam
  • Saya San Rebellion
  • Sino-Tibetan War
  • Kumul Rebellion
  • Idrisid Emirate Rebellion
  • Najran conflict
  • Uukwambi uprising
  • Annexation of Jimma
  • Chechen uprising of 1932
  • Two-Liu War
  • Kirghiz rebellion
  • La Matanza
  • January 28 incident (China v Japan)
  • Darre Khel revolt
  • Soviet–Japanese border conflicts
  • 1932 armed uprising in Mongolia
  • Lesko uprising
  • Constitutionalist Revolution of Brazil
  • Ecuadorian Civil War of 1932
  • Sanjurjada
  • Colombia–Peru War
  • Chaco War

And technically the Emus vs Australia. This list has not been vetted by a professional nor is it a complete or exhaustive list.

uis ,

And it’s just one year! Damn, 20th century was very full of events. And 21st century started with Putino-Ukrainian war.

FiniteBanjo ,

Not all of them started or ended in 1932. And Russia v Ukraine is far from the first 21st century conflict, the entire official US vs Iraq war was 2003 to 2011 for example.

gorgori ,

Based if he dodged the Emu War.

Wanderer ,

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.

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 draft dodger in the invading nation is one less soldier you need to defend against.

uis ,

So everyone who do not fight for Putin’s yacts and palaces are pussies too?

Wanderer ,

If they are avoiding it because they are “afraid” then yes. If they are doing it because fuck Putin then no

Etterra ,

It depends entirely on what country Anon’s grandfather was from.

Illuminostro ,

Pussies use the word “based.”

tkk13909 ,

Unbased

Illuminostro ,

Ubercringe

Thcdenton ,

Based. Put the people who declared the war on the frontline.

Reddfugee42 ,

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 ,

*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.

azertyfun ,

Get out with this class essentialism.

Going from prole renting a shitty apartment who barely owns a car and a washing machine, to forcibly deported or forced to renounce your culture and teach your children the invader’s language and culture is not “potato, potato”.
Sometimes there are other things to fight for than capital, even if this might sound like a foreign concept to Westerners whose country hasn’t been directly involved in a meaningful non-imperialist conflict since 1945.

DaddleDew , (edited )

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.

Duamerthrax ,

The only thing more based would be fragging his Nazi CO.

sheepishly ,

Fragging or shagging?

Belastend ,

Shagging. With a bayonet

Kusimulkku ,

Depends on the circumstances, I guess

joneskind ,
@joneskind@lemmy.world avatar

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.

RunawayFixer ,

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.

Outsider9042 ,

Old man was pussy pilled.

9point6 ,

War is for pussies

Real men talk out their problems without violence

SkybreakerEngineer ,

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

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

Hitler was too big of a pussy unfortunately.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sometimes war is brought to your door.

Recent ones: Gaza. Ukraine.

9point6 ,

Yeah

Started by fucking pussies

Defense isn’t war.

War masquerading as defense is for fucking pussies

Reddfugee42 ,

War is two sides fighting. By and large one side is always on defense. By your strange definition of war, it would only be when two sides simultaneously agree to attack each other because they each decided to conquer the other at the exact same moment.

Fizz ,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Defense can still be war.

uis ,

Putin is deepest pussy.

Reddfugee42 ,

You turn the corner to see a skinhead beating your dad with a baseball bat. You have a gun. Walk us through your next moves.

Varyk ,

This is based as far as I can tell.

It’s a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.

Makhno ,

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

Varyk ,

I can agree that there’s been an extremely minuscule amount of justifiable war in an endless number of wars.

Tagger ,

except they mostly weren’t

Lileath ,
@Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

But the story in the greentext takes place in 1932, before the Nazis even got into power in Germany.

errer ,

Yeah I’m struggling to come up with the war anon could be referring to…

Alienmonkey ,

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.

fake and gay

My money is on the Emu War

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.

Fixed thar for you :P

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.

Varyk ,

Probably a cooler picture than Stanhope appreciates, but:

it’s likely you’re here because he hid…

bassomitron ,

TIL there were a lot of conflicts occurring in 1932: en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Category:Conflicts_in_1932

Keanu ,

The Emu War (or Great Emu War)[2] was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

Grandpa was right…

YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH ,

On the internet, no one knows that you are a giant bird

Kecessa ,

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!

ericbomb ,

Based purely on names, about 90% of those are HARD pass from me.

The other 10% are a soft pass.

NucleusAdumbens ,

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
