I’m totally unrelated news, several months ago the US stated they will start automatic draft registration in December 2026 and earlier this month Israel said they are having an issue conscripting enough people to fight in the military.

Didn’t men age 18 have to manually enroll in selective service anyways? I know I had to.
It will now be automatic with no choice to refuse
Why didn’t anybody tell me I had a choice to refuse :( no matter, I outside the selection range (for now).
You could always refuse. It just carried enough penalties to ruin your life if you did.
Yup I wanted to but they said I would be denied for the student loans I needed to go to college, so I had to agree.
I couldn’t imagine what life would be like if I had refused and not gone to college.
They lied, I refused and still went to college on loans
I think you can’t get a license or register to vote or something.
To be fair refusing was basically a non option prior too.
It was when I was in high school, 2005
There already is no choice to refuse
I simply chose not to register
Please draft me and give me access to munitions lmfao
Tbf this is mostly just a change in paperwork procedure, it was already required for all males of 18 years to register for the draft. They couldn’t actually use it even if they wanted to, one way or another. Nobody would show up, or vanishingly few fools would.
Sometimes the real journalism is found in the comments.
My theory of the United States Of America being a vassal state of Israel just keeps getting stronger…
It’s weird, even if it came from an antisemite place, that conspiracy theorists would say Jews rule the world. It’s the Israel government, but still seems to be true every day.
Good way to breed more antisemitism
Fuck if I care though not my yamulke not my problem
They will come for you and your freedoms eventually whether its your problem today or not. If you are not in their tribe they openly and explicitly consider you not worthy of any human rights.
Oh no not my freedoms
That’s not how this works. We all stand together or we all fall together.
There’s a lot of people who have no faith in their neighbours anymore and have accepted that the war is lost. “We all stand together or we all fall together.” is not the motivating statement you think it is to someone who is just looking for an exit at this point.
It’s not meant to motivate or demotivate it’s a fact of human existence. I don’t care if you have hope (but you must) I care that you fight.
Hope for… what exactly. Be specific. “Hope” is just a meaningless shibboleth unless you define what for. Who are you asking to fight with you and what are you asking them to fight for, because the number of causes worth the effort is rapidly vanishing. Apathy may be one of the seven deadly sins, but there’s been too many rug-pulls now for anyone to have much faith that they’re not being taken advantage of again.
Enjoy being remembered by history for what you’ve done.
Seems to be working fine though
“No one wants to fight for Israel!”
I guess we are getting set up for the “good versus evil” part of the world’s development. Everybody’s drawing lines.
Well, there isn’t exactly a lot left to integrate.
