i cannot verify whether this is true or not, but i read a comment on patriots.win of someone saying that they saw a documentary about a imperial japanese soldier who was stuck in SEA and still thought the war was going on and he asked "why did america side with the communists"?
Assuming it was Hiroo Onoda? Well known story. Guy kept fighting WWII for 29 years after it ended on a island in the Philippines. Didn't stop until they got his old commanding officer to order him to stand down.
I think Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned shows this pretty well. The main character's (Can't really say protagonist in this case) Ivy League friends go off to fight in WW1 and they all say it's for the adventure. Knowing full well what absolute horror could await them, they didn't care.
Given how limited travel was during this time, I kind of get it, wanting to see a new land and all, but damn.
You can say "protagonist" in this case. They're the main character, that's the protagonist. It's "hero" that isn't interchangeable with Main Character, not Protagonist. Protagonist = The main focus of the story. Antagonist = The main opposing force entity of the story.
Bonus words: Deuteragonist = Secondary Main Character (Misty to Ash in Pokemon). Tritagonist = Tertiary Main Character (Brock to Ash and Misty in Pokemon).
It is perfectly possible to have a villain-protagonist (and a hero-antagonist), You'd see this in the anime Moriarty The Patriot, where Sherlock Holmes is the antagonist (because he's out saving lives and stopping crime that the protagonist is attempting to do), but the villain Moriarty is solidly in the protagonist slot (because he's the viewpoint main character).
Was curious what the difference of Bolshevism was vs socialism as both are structurally/economically similar and came across this - interesting reading insofar as the “socialist” author is essentially arguing that socialism can only exist by stealing/subverting successful capitalist economies.
Modern Germans will watch this and say 'See? This is why we had to jail our elders and stop the rise of the far right. Never again!'

Because of what our financial elite had (has) in common with their political elite.
Because stalin was smart enough to buy american politicians and not their resources (they came as a cashback).

No idea if that quote is real.
Men always fight in wars for a wide gamut of reasons.

Thank you, I was mixing up hero and protagonist.
