Thankfully, I don't think a major Western nation can get away with that nowadays. Which is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a good thing, on the other...a big part of it is because people are lazy, insane, weak, and pathetic. That part's kind of depressing.
People don't like having their safety threatened. The sheep went along with covid because they were scared, and because they were promised they would be the Good Guys.
I don't think that's enough to convince them to let the Bad Guys actually shoot real bullets at them, though. I don't think we'll see conscription or a draft in the West, unless something really changes.
Ukraine is a corrupt shithole, and an active warzone. Very different story.
The sheep went along with covid not just out of fear but hardcore propaganda and mind fucking...
Yeah, but even if they were damaging themselves, that is a much less tangible danger than bullets. That's going to trigger some self-preservation responses, especially from spoiled Westerners who almost never face actual danger.
Their own governments will do false flag attacks on the people, and then blame it on the opposition.
Yes. And then they won't need conscription. Patriotism and/or hatred is a more efficient tool than forcible enlistment.
I could be wrong. I hope I'm not, but it's possible...but I just don't see a draft in the near future.
There's 100 different ways the populace can be manipulated or forced into the war.
Yeah, and the manipulation is shown to work much better than the force, is my point. They'd be stupid to try conscription. Probably stupider than they are, which is pretty stupid.
Ukraine is in the middle of an actual war. Canada or the US doing conscription would result in a lot of angry young White men, and it becomes very dangerous to be a conscription unit.
We in Canada were just weeks away from nation-wide Covid-19.84 Concentration Camps like they had in Australia...
What a government can "get away with" has been established: literal mass murder is peanuts.
That said, Quebec hates the draft, with a passion hotter than all the fires of hell. Any party that imposes one will not win seats in Quebec for a generation, maybe 2. That's what happened to the Conservatives after WW2.
