Teenagers in 1914 and 1940: *sign up to fight for their country on the front lines*

Teenagers in 2018: *cries because they get a bad mark on their test.*

GROW SOME BALLS.

You have a-lot to fucking live up to.

Line One, “Differences of time.”

• yes times have changed
• deal with it
• it’s literally been 100 years this is like comparing 1814 to 1914

Line Two, “Teenagers in 1914… lines*”

• this was during the ‘world’ wars
• many were pressured by parents & relatives to join (remember this)
• there is an age requirement for joining, and it’s usually in the middle of school years (16 or 17)

Line Three, “Teenagers in 2018… test.*”

• most are pressured into getting good grades by their parents (sound familiar?)
• i’ve had so so many people talk to me about this, usually talking about a friend not themselves, but they know if they get a bad grade then something bad is going to happen to them
• this is saying that all we do is cry when something bad happens to us, when in fact we usually get together and try to fix it

Line Four, “GROW SOME BALLS.”

• sexist
• balls are weak and sensitive
• if you wanna say ‘be tough’ then say get a vagina cause those things are fucking insanely tough and so are the people that have them
• use “suck it up” or “be tougher” instead

Line Five, “You… to.”

• this is suggesting that we want to live up to having violence throughout the world and contribute to that, which would take out the civil of civilizations
• ***a lot not a-lot

overall 1/10. skewed and misleading information on top of sexist comments and bad grammar

Also, completely ignoring the many people who do join the military and end up with horrible fucking PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and the dawning realization that the colonizing violence of our damn military takes them in with open arms, then chews them up and spits them out. 

They realize they didn’t join a “global force for good” they joined a violent cult, they realize that the people they are fighting are also just kids like themselves. They realize the “war” is just a fucking scrabble and grab for oil, for diamonds, for the war mongering CEOS to line their fucking pockets. 

Tell me OP, where did you “serve”? How many people have you seen bleed but keep going because failure was worse than death? How many people have you had call you up, telling you with their dying breath that they just couldn’t take it anymore and that maybe death is the best way out? How many people have you seen decide to cut off a finger, a toe, because day after day after day they just can’t fucking go back to the stifling air.

Tell me OP how much fucking Jet Fuel have you ingested, inhaled? How are your fucking lungs OP? 

This isn’t something to fucking aspire to, you little shit. This is something that needs to be dismantled. 

And crying because you got bad marks on a test? Fucking understandable, because unlike war, it’s actually about something important. Get fucked. 

OP deleted the original post, looks like he couldn’t live up to the pressures of posting a Hot Take on Tumblr.com
