Other countries considering a bad idea doesn’t make it a good idea.

This isn’t talking specifically about the UK, and nor was I.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to admit you were wrong for you to be wrong.

“Conscription is always a bad idea” is an objectively incorrect sentiment.

In a war, the bulk of Finland’s force will be made up of conscripts. Or more accurately, people who were conscripts.

The career military men will be the officers. If you look at their officer to non officer ratio in peacetime it will be absolutely bananas compared to the UK’s. Because if they do get invaded by Russia, they’ll immediately call up their reserves (which due to conscription is their entire eligible population) and the ratios will make more sense.

Because their long term military strategy changed.

Conscription makes perfect sense if you’re setting yourself up to fight a defensive war. E.g., Finland’s entire military is more or less built for a defensive war against Russia, so they conscript.

Because they built it into their long term strategy, like I said in my original comment.

And the military leadership of every country where conscription is a thing disagrees with you.

All it dose is create ill motivated unskilled labour.

If you think military conscription is for the here and now you unfortunately don’t know what you’re talking about.

Conscription is so that if you need to mobilise quickly, all of your eligible population are already trained, have units to report to, officers etc.

If you’re building a defensive military, it makes perfect sense, because in a defensive war motivation more or less ceases to be an issue.

The UK’s military is far more expeditionary, so it doesn’t make sense unless you build it into your long term plan, which is exactly what I said in my original comment.

Conscription isn’t fundamentally a bad idea it just needs to be built into your long term defense strategy

In what world would any person make that argument ?

because Biden might actually listen,

Why would he listen if he knows he can have your vote regardless

That was a lot of words to not even attempt to answer a very simple question

Bad-faith, accelerationist

I like the self awareness displayed by calling me bad faith and then immediately reiterating the thing you just made up about me and decided was true based on what seems to be a deliberately bad interpretation of my original comment.

Contrapoints didn’t make that video in the context of a genocide.

Clinton lost 2016 in part because people were unhappy with her over Sanders

Why would the democratic party listen to anything you have to say if they know you’ll vote for them regardless?

That’s not what not voting is, no

Do you acknowledge that voting for a candidate enacting bad policies is voting for those bad policies

Yes the point of my comment was that I want fascism faster well done

I’m not noticing any part of “I’ll accept anything” that’s particularly conducive to fixing things

You acknowledge that you’re voting for a slightly slower descent into fascism but that you’ll continue to do so?

That’s locked behind the battle pass

Early access in a controlled environment is a really good way to make sure people don’t fall down rabbit holes.
