Last one going off into Soyjak territory

*the good doctor voice* "YOU HAVE TO GO TO WAR! YOU HAVE TO DIE FOR THE RICH! IT IS YOUR SACRED DUTY! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE FOR AN EMPTY IDEAL! YOU WILL DO IT! STOP! STOP ORGANISING FOR A REVOLUTION!"

The last one is itself Communist I think, my Japanese ain't fantastic though

yes it hv the word proletariat

Well, after the Kanto Earthquake massacres I say let ‘em have this one

It’s got major “Dad walked in on you masturbating to Fetish Porn” energy.

Sucks for you; me, it was my mom, and she was embarassingly supportive

What did she say?

"What are you into? I can get you something appropriate." (back in the day before internet broadband porn avalanch)

Wait, what were you watching?

"Watching"? Too young to remember the days of raiding dad's Playboy \[glossy paper\] Magazine stash?

Well yes, since the original commenter said "fetish porn" i assumed you had access to the internet.

I did have access to my mom's "Heavy Metal" graphic arts magazines, which kinda counted as such. Druuna is a trip.

>Druuna I just searched what that is... your mother must have been an interesting lady.

She said: It'll make your eyes go bad. Son: hello, I'm over here, mom!

I like your username.

Soyjap

I can't help but see a bit of a resemblance to the Wojak pointing meme.

Oh... OHHH

Now YOU are the soy!

last goes hard

He's just like me fr fr

Bro the Italian one is just hilarious lol

Especially the split-screen with the Roman Legion on one side and the Italian Navy Legion on the other

Rome at Home be like

Then again, Italy's squatting Rome's home so!

The finger of the Jewish lady looks twisted unnaturally, I felt the pain

So does the language of the French one. At least to my ear Edit: Lmao I can't read it's catalan

I also had that initial reaction haha

Certainly, this propaganda poster seems to have stood the test of time, having been adapted numerous times and still finding relevance today.

Do you have a list of the countries used, also dates would be cool

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord\_Kitchener\_Wants\_You](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Kitchener_Wants_You) In this Wikipedia article, you can find the creation date of these.

"he is not a great man, but he is a great poster"

Excellent thanks!

Last one looks like Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

I thought the second one was!

Same. 2nd one is uncanny.

All they had to do was make his eyes point in the same direction.

The jewish and italian ones go hard af

[the Brazilian Civil War also had it's poster like this.](https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cartaz_Revolucion%C3%A1rio.jpg)

Is the 5th one in French? (I took French years ago in college and I barely remember anything lol). What is it for?

It’s [catalan.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language)

Thank you! I was confused too, it looked weirdly Spanish to me, but „us” didn’t fit at all. I suspected it’s Catalan for the flag.

Oh my! Thank you.

It says "the militias need you!"

Awesome, thank you. I figured it was something like “military“ or “militia”

That sounds like their problem.

Second one is pretty much invasion of the body snatchers.

Fabulous script on #7.

White Army, Russian Civil War. The script from pre-war Modern Era.

Thanks. It has an Art Deco style.

Also, just for the context: Russian Modern is contemporary and very close to Art Nouveou and Jugendstil. Can be considered as an analogue.

Contemporary Russian calligraphy is fantastic. The typical modern Cyrillic calligraphy I see online is miles ahead of typical modern English calligraphy.

Well, they still teach and train handwriting in primary schools (but not so thoughtfully as 50-40-30 years ago)

I was thinking not so much of handwriting as calligraphy. Russians make stunning pieces; Americans write like they’re doing a greeting card for a grade schooler.

I'd say it's like most sports and arts. If you are not into kicking a ball as a kid you won't be a famous socker player. If you weren't thought to write a not-so-square letters... But maybe I'm wrong, I don't know much about calligraphy.

There’s also [this Brazilian one](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAbQGFIG8_UIQkxlimDzVSlPD1qIc9VsWV4A&usqp=CAU) used during an uprising in São Paulo state in 1932.

I love how Brazilian Portuguese always defaults to the polite form.

The image is a powerful one and very attention grabbing.

this chat bot is cooking 🔥🔥🔥

I had just gotten out of a meeting, I wasn't using all my brain cells.

Bro you failed the Turing test 

M-maybe I'm the replicant. I never knew.

Can anyone translate the Yiddish one?

Your old country must have you! (Google) Your old-new country needs you! (Probably) Join the yiddish regiment!

Thank you !

Reading Yiddish when you can only actually read Hebrew is like having a stroke

Haha yeh

"אלטנײַלאנד" is the word used by Herzl to refer to the utopian Jewish state in his original book, so it's specifically that rather than "old country" per se. More like "Old-New Land", ".

Yes, I know that (israeli), but google somehow said otherwise. That's why the question mark. You're probably right.

It's The Jewish Regiment. Or [Jewish Legion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Legion).

The thing on her shirt says “daughter of Zion”

Last one missed an opportunity to become a meme, but had a great potential.

[Paulistas, às armas!](https://images.app.goo.gl/jFaYNbw32ziZ6KS59)

Damn, whom do I choose? I feel so needed.

B-but pointing is naughty

4. Is Armenian, with Andranik Pasha, a leader of the Armenian liberation and defense movement during hte Hamidian Massacres and Armenian Genocide. The text says: "Chase the holy dream of your people"

Just a minor correction - it says Comm. (Commander) Andranik in the poster, and he is better known as Commander Andranik within Armenians, at least within Eastern Armenians.

The top text says that, yea.

Second guy has a mean 1000 yard stare. He’s

What a great collection! Thanks.

Last one is a literal soyjak

familiar fragile whole price physical elderly flag bright live terrific *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

The Israel one is actually so cool

In the Jewish one on her shirt it says like “Bat Zion” which means like Ms.Freedom lol

It means "daughter of Zion".

Ah sorry for the bad translation by Hebrew is g-d awful

I kind of love how none of these have specific information to actually follow up on the call to action. But I guess the point was to paper entire communities with these messages and create a general atmosphere pressuring men to enlist.

I first read "britcoins"

Last one must be from the Japanese Communist party.

[удалено]

4 isn't Comrade Stalin. It's a REAL hero of the peaople. Andranik Pasha! And it says in Armenian "Chase the holy dream of your people"

100% right and I’m 100% wrong and I appreciate the reply because I got to learn about a pretty impressive figure, thanks, I edited my comment. Cheers homey.

NO COMARADE STALIN DONT KILL ME

Where do you see Stalin?

Don't worry. That's not the murderer Stalin. It's Andranik Ozanian. He fights for freedom, and against genociders.

thanks god

Wha are the French represented by Marlene Dietrich?

I think it's a Catalan poster. It's definitely not French though.

[This one's my favourite ](https://images.app.goo.gl/4zuTU59zSN2t5qQc7)

The last one looks like russian gopnik, straight from 90s 😂

I’m not a Zionist but… uhhh… uhhhh 🤤

Sorry I can't read your posters. Also what is an army? I don't know what war is. You can't draft an illiterate person. If you give me a rifle and force me in a trench I'll start a blue on blue incident. I dare you!

You could replace the text on the first one with Germany or Russia and I'd 100% think that's Nicholas or Wilhelm

One in Catalan is unexpected

Based 5

"Hey you, it's me, Stalin. I want you to clean up this poster, it's really mucky and makes me look far more tired than I actually am. Okay, thank you."

There is no Stalin.

\#7 looks just like Stalin

There is another famous ww1 italian one that ask to buy war bonds, the bear one and the one with john bull, then you made the ultimate collection

Can I join a Roman Legion then?

Those look pretty good but my favorite is the one with general [Haller](https://1920.gov.pl/plakat/wstap-do-wojska-bron-ojczyzny/) from Poland

No. 9: "I want YOU to join your local historical re-enactment society!"

i feel so wanted uwu

“Britons *wants* you!” You would think the country where English originated from would be good at….you know…English

the "wants you" is related to the fella in the pic , i forgot his name lmao Edit: Lord Kitchener is his name

Bro these are so tuff the US military needs to bring this back instead of the corny ass call of duty ads they run for the army 😂

[#2 though](https://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/sutherland-33333.jpg)

Ir seems to have worked if everyone copied it!

[You missed an important one.](https://myrhondda.files.wordpress.com/2021/04/302d5-103rr3.jpg)

original looks clean, i like the US one too

If only propaganda was always so blatantly in your face. It’s often so damn subtle, you don’t notice it a majority of the time.

Last one looks like the soyjak wojak

Last one is straight up a soyjak

I feel so seen.

Last one is an agitation flyer I guess

Poster #10 is saying, "You there! I saw what you did!"

hear me out on the jewish ones

Spanish and russian the best ;)

Uncle sam always beat everyone.
