don't let them tell you they died for democracy - they did not, that is a lie and the people telling you as much should be called liars to their face.
so, i'll clarify - i will stand with those children who were given weapons and marched to their death, in a crime of such great enormity that we should never alleviate ourselves of our guilt. what we did to our own people in the first world war is on the same level of moral monstrosity as the slave trade or the genocide of indigenous people, and those responsible for this crime should be held in an equal amount of contempt.
i will stand with these innocent victims.
i will not stand with those who volunteered - i will condemn them for perpetuity, and curse the ground they are buried in.
