I paused “a man's search for meaning” audiobook that I am listening to at the moment ( https://dailyprogress.org ), to read this article.
Compelled service offends me greatly.
Just as compelled speech, injections, religion, or anything else, is reprehensible.
I am happy to fight, suffer, and die for that which I choose. I fear not death, but rather I fear the acceptance of a compelled existence that I have no say in, no control over, because another in a position of “power” says I have no rights, no personal agency.
We live in a world that has been run by psychopaths for centuries. A war to end all wars will be when the normal people take on the mind set of the psychopaths for a short while and purge them from our existence. There are many more normal people then those who are psychopathic control freaks. When we finally rise up against them we just may have some peace until more mutants come from the wombs of the unsuspecting. There is a way to know now...who they will be, what they are.
Hadrian and Vespasian came closest to wiping out the group causing all the wars on the planet, the past 250 years. Uncle A gave them swimming pools. I would invest every dollar I have remaining, in super oven technology, so we can make all the Holohoax fables reality.
Agreed. If it is a just war, one where the survival of our country is at stake, there should be enough volunteers to defend the realm. If not, perhaps it is better that way. If the powers that be have failed to convince the military-age people that continuing to have them in charge is better than whatever the invaders have to offer, maybe the would-be defenders are right.
I first heard that point of view from an invited guest speaker of the College Republicans in my first year at a state university, from a member of the Objectivist Society (Ayn Rand). I'd long thought that it was innately contradictory to enslave people in the name of protecting their freedom, but this was the first time I heard someone else say it.
The College Republicans didn't agree with the Objectivists on a broad variety of issues, and I would imagine that was one of them. Still, they invited Objectivists to come make their pitch. No protests or catcalls or attempts to drown out the speaker... just people listening and either agreeing or disagreeing politely.
I thought that was what higher education was supposed to be about. Hear other viewpoints, give 'em a fair shot, think about whether you had it wrong. While the leftist capture of academia was well underway by this point, it was before the collapse of the USSR and the resultant "taking our eye off the ball" when everyone thought the threat of socialism and communism had ended, which only caused the leftists to accelerate their efforts. The regime that spawned the subversive movement within western countries was gone, but it didn't mean the radicalized fellow travelers suddenly decided they were wrong and embraced capitalism.

Light Triad vs. Dark Triad
Sheepdogs vs. Wolves
Individualism vs Collectivism
We the People need to identify & classify the good, the bad, and the malignant to prepare a proper “immune” response.

Taking on the midset of the psychopath is unnecessary.
Winter is coming, and a magnetic pole shift in the 2020s. Mother nature bats last.
