They ought to do that in the USA too. Too many 20 somethings refusing to work and living off their parents.

The byline says; "Politicians approve the controversial conscription law after months of heated debate, amid fears over a potential war with Russia." If we're to be honest, I'd say the politicians have hopes for a potential war with Russia.

Great commentary on that propaganda.

If you enlist to be canon fodder, you voluntarily give up your rights and agree your life is theirs to do as they please. Masochism.

If conscripted, they kidnap and enslave you. Rape.

Why? To fight other people in the same boat as you, but on the other side.

All governments are terrorist mafias.

Were I of conscription age, I would take the jail term instead.

Wouldn't you be worried that if you are in jail and the war that justified conscription heats up that they would be able to grab you and throw you on the front line anyway? They do need drone fodder.

Hmm, didn't think about that. Perhaps It'd be better to find a bug out location. If I weren't already old enough that they wouldn't want me.

Solzhenitsyn probably had a better solution. Me, I'm a militant pacifist. Try to force me into a conflict I'll cut your fucking head off.

[-]JasonCarswell2(+2|0)

Ditto.
Defend thyself like thy life depends upon it.

What was Solzhenitsyn's solution?

Basically there are more of you than them. Letting them go door to door and complying because you are too weak to resist allows them to keep doing it. But since you are likely dead anyway if you comply, if every door they knock was met with maximal violence they wouldn't be able to keep it up indefinitely.

So if they have decided that you are to become a murder and die, oblige them. You might as well murder them and die so others don't have to face the same fate.

But since death and killing are on the table anyway, waiting for them isn't as strategically advantageous. So a better option is to gather people together and hunt the recruiters like dogs. Then they can't even prosecute you because they can't actually prosecute mobs. They will find one or two or even ten they can. But 10 in a few hundred is nothing. Almost everyone gets away free if your fellow man is not a coward and can be trusted to join such a mob. The best thing you can do is be the change you want to see in the world and not be a coward yourself.

Interesting. Was this from the Gulag Archipelago?

You could try seeking refugee status in Canada.

I'm in Canada. :D

We Canadians need refugee status in Canada.
