I don't understand ANY argument for conscription. Of all the laws on the books that are still "acceptable" in modernity from even the "progressive" crowd, the one that perplexes me the most is conscription.
For me, it's just so simple: If a government needs to force people to fight for the government then the government has no right to exist. A legitimate government should be able to raise a fully volunteer army because all the citizens the government represents wants to fight to defend this government.
Just think about it for a moment. Supposedly some evil enemy is coming to rape your women and kill all the men or enslave everyone by taking their rights away. Everyone should want to defend against that, no? If someone doesn't volunteer to fight against that then clearly they've decided that rape and death is better than... rape and death? Or, perhaps they've decided they can still live without dying for a country and they'd rather this conclusion.
How can anyone justify using force to force something to go to war and die against their will?
I hate the concept of conscription so much I think anyone who suggests it should be hanged, tbh. You want people to fight for you? Offer them an incentive then.
Sure. Then you have an immediate duty to go live somewhere else then. Assuming they'll take you.
As an aside, statelessness needs to make a comeback.
This metaphor doesn't work for you because the people of the the Ukraine are presently being ruled by a tyrannical foreigner who cares nothing for them, and are being "invaded" by their rightful ruler.
See, this is called being a treacher. Something that most functioning societies throughout history have formally criminalized.
This statement bespeaks an incredible lack of historical understanding.
I'd love to live elsewhere other then Canada. Once I am paid 1/30m of the land value of Canada and guaranteed a US passport, along with all taxes I've paid with interest, I'll be gone.
Just like all Western societies including Canada.
All quality people in Canada would stand to gain from being American. Only low quality people whose opinion on anything is worthless would stand to lose.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Male citizens of the US have to sign up for Selective Services. And don't quote me on this because I could be wrong but I believe not getting a passport is a outcome of not registering. So I dunno what the guy is looking for here.
You're describing every formerly white nation at this point.
Hey that sounds exactly like America
Didn't say it wasn't.
