minus-squareInfiltrated_ad8271linkfedilink-44•11 months agoNot that this is really new, ukraine forces ukrainian men to fight and russia forces russian men; their will was never relevant, just different excuses for what is essentially slavery.
minus-square@GenEcon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish31•11 months agoDifference is that Russia is forcing Ukrainians - which is a violation of the Geneva convention.
minus-square@Squizzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish11•11 months agoLots of countries have conscription, America too just incase that’s where you’re from and you’re throwing shade. The purpose of this post is to highlight that Russia is sending prisoners of war to fight against their home country.
minus-squareInfiltrated_ad8271linkfedilink-1•11 months agoI certainly intended to throw shade on mandatory conscription, not the main topic but quite pertinent. Of course I’m not trying to say it’s the same thing (not at all), just that a “you were born here, so go die” is on the same page.
minus-square@Squizzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoI absolutely agree with conscription being wrong, same as mandatory service.
minus-square@Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish-1•11 months agoYeah, and every kind of conscription is wrong.
minus-square@Squizzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoThat’s not the debate like it’s completely different, one is a breach of the Geneva convention.
minus-square@SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-2•11 months agoConscription is based, especially mandatory conscription
