Just because I'd choose to live 100 years ago over today doesn't mean that I actually do so. I'm not sure what about that post has you concluding that I'm retarded. If you'll forgive me for being frank, thus far it seems that you don't really possess the judgement necessary to evaluate the intelligence of others.

It's interesting that you chose my post in particular to act out upon, when you appear to be suffering from the very malaise my post sought to address.

That one is your decision, if you are so eager to die, you might aswell just fucking off yourself now, there is no purpose in going to WWI for this.
I undestood this whole scenario as a hypothetical time transition where you basically change the world around you, without changing yourself. In this case I would rather prefer to live today, where I still have the chance to turn things around, instead of living in a time where death is almost certain and mental scaring for life is a definitive certainty.
Never understood the idea of "dying for something" desu, if you are dead you do not give a shit either way.

100 years ago nope

100 years ago so i fight in the great war , since im from the future i will survive by knowing everything about the war , i will become a war hero

>>35256629

For people who aren't sociopaths, there's a huge difference between killing yourself and dying for a bigger cause. The latter is community-oriented.
"You're dead either way" is actually autistic.

This. Even if you didn't go to war, the amount of diseases and other nasty shit that's TREATABLE WITH OVER THE COUNTER MEDS NOW or just plain doesnt fucking exist anymore(polio for example), would kill the average robot in a month

Because you are a subject.
Where did you get the idea that you shouldn't die in a war for the ambitions of your czar? What makes your life so valuable?
>>
>>35256946
>would kill the average robot in a month
and even if this is your goal(which you can off yourself right now at any time you fucktards), it would take extremely long to kill you and you'd die an agonizing death.
Good luck with your horrible disfigurement and blistered lungs from mustard gas, retards.

Honestly, I wouldn't be able to decide. On the other hand I have this boring, mediocre life. Nothing much is changing, I'm alone and bitter. But atleast I'm safe.

On the other hand there is WW1 that I could join as a soldier and since my parents see me as their biggest failure in life, I could actually make due even if I get killed. I served a purpose after all. Today I'm just a huge failure that thinks of suicide everyday, anyway.

So why shouldn't I fight in "the great war?" Atleast I get shot or blown to shreds and don't suffocate on a rope while pissing myself...

But I wouldn't judge anyone based on this decision, neither sound very appealing after all.

I want to live in the present. This modern age is all that's kept me alive and somewhat happy.

The only reason I'm able to provide for myself is my ability to work with and understand modern computers/networks. I don't have any family or friends to fall back on, only my understanding of technology. An asocial asshole like me would have just been killed off in WW1 or lived an even more sad, impoverished, and pathetic life as a phone operator.

Also, the way technology is moving now, I might actually live to see VR/Robot waifus. Not giving that up for anything.

Let's see, assuming I'm transported back to 1917 in my current condition I'd move to switzerland long before WW2 hits and build up an existance there, free from all the perils of nazi warfare. I could marry a nice Swiss blonde and have some kids, I can rest easy during the cold war knowing it won't lead to the end of the world and I won't have to deal with feminists, I'd only have to put up with hippies when I'm old.

100 years ago of course ! I really love the era of the German Empire and Austro-Hungary. Uniforms, weapons, inventions, military parades. I would fight for Austria-Hungary because today s Czech Republic was part of it. And even if i die it would be still a reasonable death because i have fought for my country and Kaiser. For sure 10000000x times better than this sad, meaningless and pathetic life.

100 isn't long enough ago; Western society started going down the hole with World War I.

>>
>>35262776
Yeah, but all of those have their roots in late 18th century liberal Enlightenment ideas.

Also modern feminism is really more of an offshoot of liberal capitalism and representative democracy than Marxism, even if most modern feminists claim to be left-wing/socialist.

The countries that were openly Marxist for decades don't really have much feminism.
