There were Australians at the time who supported their brothers. They said, "stay home." And there were also Australians at the time who said "Let's go kill people in the name of honour", and who encouraged their brothers to a miserable death. Australia never conscripted for World War One. Everyone who died in those trenches chose to be there. Everyone who died in those trenches was a killer. Everyone who died in those trenches after telling his mates to enlist was a killer of his brothers.

I suggest you go work on your narcissistic personality disorder some more, and stop being a dick.

As much as I think what this person is arguing is grotesque, I agree with their reply. This was probably a bit needlessly personal tbh.

It was in response to needless thoughtlessness in describing the ordinary soldiers who fought overseas. There were myriad reasons they went to fight, and calling them all killers of their brothers is just gross. Most honestly thought they were serving their country and their fellow Australians. I'm sure the OP knows that, so his reason for posting this distorted rants about the people with the least power in the situation is purely for attention. If he just wanted to discuss the historical facts, he could have posted it on any other day, but he wanted to get our goat. Well, he got mine.

I'm nonbinary. You're referring to Me as "he", but My pronouns are "They/Them". Please edit your comment to avoid misgendering Me.
