This isn't a bad idea in and of itself, but it ignores the profound unfitness of the vast majority of the citizenry to actually serve in an honorable, useful capacity.
Simply put, most people are worthless, and putting them through a few years of public service isn't going to fix that. Useless eaters, paper shufflers and desk jockeys aren't going to become solid patriots just because you made them do a few push ups.
Mandatory service would only be feasible to implement in a post civil war society, one in which the parasite class is either subjugated or dead, and the remainder of the population being something besides the illiterate deracinated mess that we have right now.
Yep. As it is, if the kids are forced into national service by a bunch of leaders who also advocate bringing in cheap foreign labor to replace those same kids, they'll only learn to hate the economic zone they were born in and want to burn it all down.
I mean the only solution I can think of is remove a lot of health and safety that isn't in place to stop companies using people as 'human fuel'.
Then let nature take it's cause. If Indians want to get close to moving trains, let them. If that Instagram thot wants to pet that tiger in the zoo, let her.
Among other things, yes. Part of the reason why the human genome is effectively frozen is because the level of comfort created by white civilization has proliferated to the point of eradicating selection pressure. We have effectively eliminated consequences out of a misplaced desire to maximize the lives of the unworthy, and within a few short generations it has bitten us in the ass in a potentially world ending fashion.
The other reason is because it turns out that human genetic diversity was being carried almost completely by the white race, but that's a discussion for a different topic.
But we do apply plenty of selection pressure.
We agressively select for low-IQ, unwillingness to delay gratification, and sexual drive.
Those are the individuals still reproducing in Western welfare states.
It wouldn't work then either, at least with our current foreign policy. It's one thing to be drafted to defend your country. It's another to be drafted to go die for another. In the latter case, we would see levels of officer fraggings that would put Vietnam to shame.
On the other hand, I'd be curious to see if mandating fitness increases testosterone enough to knock a worthwhile chunk out of the prog camp.
No but it's a start. And it's actually quite effective at right wing organisation. Because it's logistical practice for organising people to go somewhere and do something.
And if it has been proposed sixty years ago, I'd have agreed. Right now it's putting the cart before the horse.
