i dont think that one comes from white people
“i had to go through miserable bullshit so you have to too” is not doing what you think its doing
i can excuse hiring mercenaries to rough a guy up for leaking cards, but using AI art is a step too far!
Also true. But if I had to defend my country, the most effective way to do it would be as a part of a trained and coordinated effort, not as some loner seeking a Hollywood - style “heroic sacrifice”.
which you will also continue to have the option to do so regardless of whether your government continues to threaten its citizens into doing so
I do not see compulsory military service as forced labour, not by a long shot.
performing labour or 6 months of jail does sound completely unforced
A country that offers equal rights, universal healthcare and free education for all citizens, amongst many other tax-paid services.
i am so glad that you have all of that
If you do not see your own country worth serving, I feel sad for you
i said nothing about whether i see my own country as worth serving, but your pity is appreciated
I would gladly give my life to protect mine
and youll continue to have the option to do so regardless of whether your government continues to threaten its citizens into doing so
im assuming you mean nuanced
me not agreeing with you doesnt mean i didnt consider your perspective, and saying ‘well surely not all forced labour is slavery’ isnt nuance
ok
forced labour is slavery
the system for who is required to participate has practically never been fair and equitable, jury duty is not comparable to military service, and forced labour is slavery
forced labour is slavery
maybe folks would sign up to protect their country if they thought it deserved to be protected, or was doing anything for them
that some folks genuinely believe the same people were running the nordics 70 years ago, apparently
i didnt voice any opinion on what the extreme or far left are, so i imagine you either didnt understand my comment or are being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian
this is the mainstream view on the far-left
this might be controversial, but in my opinion killing children is bad regardless of where you do it
in the cases where ‘their masters’ was a middleschooler, yes
“well if the UN is saying it”
~lemmygrad, when its useful
no actually, since the conversation is explicitly about conspiracy to commit murder, arguing that any belief in enforcing participation in society constitutes that is explicitly saying that having laws automatically means killing people
you dont actually get to say ‘violence’ instead of ‘murder’ in a conversation about murder, and then pretend that you arent talking about murder
unless this is you admitting that communism is not actually a conspiracy to commit murder, in which case cool i agree!
being forced to participate in society is called following the laws of the country youre in
am i correctly understanding that you believe that enforcing the law automatically necessitates killing people? thats a pretty scary thing to believe, and in no way indicative of any particular ideology im sure
its also false, considering the continued existence of countries that have abolished the death penalty entirely
on a side note, can you explain why you moved the goal posts from ‘communists want to kill everyone’ to ‘well maybe not all of them but the ones that dont will never succeed’ to ‘well having laws means killing people’
sorry, but arent the crimes of their fathers the sole basis for our worshipping them, allowing tbem political power and sending the pricks millions upon millions of tax payer pounds?
you dont reckon its a little disingenuous to complain about people shitting on their heritage when said heritage is the entire argument for their existence
