Helping America abuse the global south and stop the spread of communist democracy. What a joke.

I’m proud that the only war my grandad fought in was the only war in which we were the good guys for once, WWII.

Here’s to the brave people who fought against facsism.

Fuck imperial Japan

Fuck Nazi Germany

Fuck Zionist Israel

Fuck South Korea

Fuck the US anti-communist empire

Fun story about my Grandad during WW2. He was stationed on an island shooting down Imperial Japanese planes. Near the end of the war they had next to no supplies. Their clothes were even rotting. Then the Americans swooped in late in the war after the hard work was done, with a ton of supplies and money from war profiteering, and instead of sharing supplies with their allies during a fucking war, they charged huge amounts of money for them. Needless to say, my Grandad came back from the war hating the Americans as much as the Japanese.

    personal anecdote that anzac day always reminds me of: used to write for a yearly “satire” paper based in WA (quality is extremely questionable), whose main purpose most years was just pissing people off. We’d started going on a very left-leaning tilt around 2012, and I remember in 2015 we ran an article conflating ANZAC day with Participation Trophies

    we got a number of calls that day calling us unaustralian, calling for us to be expelled, threatening us and all sorts lmao

    ofc nothing came of it, all empty threats in the end but still it doesn’t take much to poke the aussie patriotism bear
