That wouldn't get you cancelled, that was basically the position of the US government which led to the Dawes Plan in 1924 to do exactly that. The impact of Versailles in the rise of the Nazis wasn't so much economic, by 1924 Germany was probably saving more by not being allowed to have a large army than it was losing to reparations, and the period of 1924-1929 was even called the Golden Twenties. The humiliation factor of how it was negotiated and imposed however played right into Hitler's hands.
In both eras, colonialism and militarism were still going on, and even though many powers condemned these two things, if we rule out things that weren't obvious like being a murderer, you could bet on supporting desertion and draft dodging getting you cancelled in all countries. This is literally how Red Badge of Courage starts.
All of them?
