Default Istanbul and Gallipoli

I think everyone is reading Viviane's meaning incorrectly. I think she's
trying to say, it's hard to understand the effect the first WW had on
Aussies unless you're an Aussie.


In that case she's wrong. None of them lived through it and they're
feeling what they've been told to feel about it. The experience of
participating in a vicarious orgy of faked-up grief over hyped-up
martyrs you never knew or thought of caring about until Rupert Murdoch
told you about them is common to the whole developed media-brainwashed
world. The UK's version of it was the death of Diana Spencer.
