We've heard A LOT this year (and it's only been a month!), we may need to conscript for a war with Russia! Not enough people are joining the military so we may need to look at conscription! If you don't give your mortgage to Ukraine we may need to conscript you and those you love...
In my opinion, it's all bullshit fear mongering. The last time America did conscription during Vietnam, It caused a LOT of 'friendly fire' incidents against officers or those in higher ranks above the conscripted while the loss of Vietnam basically made conscripting unwilling Americans political suicide. Since then the normies are either too jaded to be patriotic to the elites under the guise of 'national defense' to be conscripted or too weak that they'll likely turn on anyone trying to force them to fight so send them to war against Russia....they'll just mass surrender to the Russians giving them all their equipment too.
Just feels like an extremely desperate play by wielding conscription as a threat as then everyone realises there currently isn't enough military TO conscript the current populations and even then how many of them are loyal enough to the elites to conscript civilians?
You have to remember that they are very much up their own ass and they will push these boundaries. They are like a child bully who has never been popped in the nose and I think the time is coming where they will be reminded that it isn't us who serves them.
I personally don't think they have the right to say or enforce anything, since they won't protect the border.
I would say that's a very American centric view but then EVERY western country ain't protecting it's fucking borders.
I'm enjoying the Farmer protests in Europe as that's the response for trying to destroy livelihoods in an industry, imagine the response you telling the masses to die in a foriegn shithole.
Indeed.
Well the whole "It isn't what your country can do for you..." sentiment falls short these days, because what we do for it seems to get us flooded with welfare niggers and fills the coffers of people who want to send us to meat grinders for their business partners and Israel. If I recall correctly, there is a clause in the constitution that addresses this specifically - that if they do not enforce the border that it's time for guillotines. Paraphrasing of course.
As far as I am concerned - no border, no conscription. They can kick rocks.
There’s the bully that would get popped in the nose and straighten themselves out, then there’s the bully that would straight up stab you the next time he saw you.
Governments are always the latter.
He'd be all smiley and buddy-buddy for a bit, you gotta be prepared for that knife.
