You’re trivializing authoritarianism by focusing on the US. Focus on Iran or Russia instead, then you’d have yourself a fun time.

    Ummm… That’s EXACTLY what the USA does buddy. If you don’t see how they aren’t equivalent, you’re brainwashed. Propaganda is strong in the USA, but you are just a fucking idiot at this point. Byeeeee

      No it’s not. Russia has a conscription forcing young people to die fighting against Ukraine. The US does not have such a thing. Russia is an authoritarian fascist dictatorship which is rapidly becoming a terrorist state because of their fear of Ukraine joining NATO.

      As of 2021, all male citizens aged 18–27 are subject to conscription for 1 year of active duty military service in the armed forces, but the precise number of conscripts for each of the recruitment campaigns, which are usually held twice annually, is prescribed by particular Presidential Decree.
