@cjd @bonifartius it doesn’t matter. The draft is the sole reason for the nation state. When Xi starts it, the draft will be back and everybody younger and thinner than me will be wearing boots, and the rest of us will be on “you’re going next year fatso” rations.
@Sophistifunk@noagendasocial.com How would Xi "start it"? @cjd@pkteerium.xyz @bonifartius@qoto.org
@adiz @cjd @Sophistifunk nukes, probably
@bonifartius@qoto.org That's never going to happen. @cjd@pkteerium.xyz @Sophistifunk@noagendasocial.com
@adiz @cjd @Sophistifunk just shitposting here ;)
@adiz @cjd @Sophistifunk but: if you don't care for your own losses, all out first strike still seems sensible. people in power are enough psychopath for that. no matter if west or east. if they could get away with it without big personal sacrifice they'd do it in a heartbeat. just for shit n giggles.
"All of you who hasn't learned to lock yourself in your home, will be rounded up on sight, on the street and sent to the front."
As is rumored to happen in UA.
@cjd @niclas @Sophistifunk @adiz it's kidnappers violating natural rights. clear cut self defense/helping others in self defense, no jury required!
@niclas now only convince the majority of people that they would be better off this way :)
@cjd @Sophistifunk @adiz
It isn't easy to convince the slaves that there is freedom, and that they will be better off.
Reading Fredrick Douglas (a slave who fled) and his mental struggle to free his mind (before the body) is quite a remarkable story that everyone should read. The parallels to our society are remarkable.
One thing; He brought up that a former slave in the north was doing better than many slave holders in the south. He couldn't understand how that was possible.
Reminds me of the message in Matrix movie; (paraphrased) "Most are not ready to be freed."
@bonifartius
I also agree that kidnappers initiate aggression (by definition) and hence forfeited their right to not get killed.
Self-defense is a derivative of "Owning yourself" and helping others to "self-defend" is righteous and moral. The level of self-defense is a personal judgment, but for aggression with potential of killing the victim, killing the aggressor is not an unreasonable amount of force for most people.
