    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.

            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.

      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.

      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.
