> Every citizen in being made a soldier, becomes a prop of government manifestation and shares responsibility of everything government does even though he may not admit its legitimacy.
- Leo Tolstoy.
Draft resistance and a total rejection of the idea the state owns its citizens like property needs to be more of a priority in our countries. They won’t send me, and I’ll be damned if they send my kids if they don’t want to go. Nobody can make me kill another human being.
When some people said all these tech AI cloud flock whatever infrastructure is being carefully developed for the future “busification” in the US, and the “illegal immigrants” is just a decoy, no one believed it, and kept cheering for unmarked cars full of masked men abducting people in broad daylight.
Also, I don’t see “sexism and equality” calls now when it comes to draft, so good luck convincing a generation that grew up being told men and women are equal and saying otherwise is a blasphemy, especially when the society now favors women and attack men for just merely existing, it kinda explains too that the unemployment mostly impacting men if you paid attention, I have yet to see a woman struggling to get a job, it seems it’s all prepping to have young men with nothing to do but being sent to useless wars to die in.

When I served, pay was roughly $3000/year.
I don't see Alex Karp volunteering to take up arms, fight wildfires, rescue hurricane victims and so on.
"Aristocrats" are not supposed to do menial or physically challenging work.
Because it's Sunday, I won't say what I'm thinking.
