Yeah, we should go back to an agricultural economy, like 200 years ago!
We still live in a world with mandatory military service in many countries. I’d trade it for that.
But otherwise thanks, I’d rather have neither.
Military service exists for a reason though, and a good one. I disagree with it but I understand its need all too much.
This, however is just the new extremist and inept government making decisions that break things, so to fill those holes they’ll just break other things.
It won’t last
What is the good reason for military to exist, in your opinion?
Defend your country against assholes like Putin, for example?
Or get your own Putin and have him raze the world to the ground?
Again, any country without military is at great risk of being subjugated.
I don’t want armies, I don’t want militaries but there is a reason for having them. You want Putin to rule Europe? Because that’s what happens when you remove Europe’s armies

Anytime I’ve done some world building in my head for the great human empire :tm: it involves some sort of rotational labor period in each citizens early 20’s to give them exposure to a few different styles of work
It’s a nice way to give back to the community while also getting to see how the rest of the world lives
I’m sure there’s flaws with it but sounds a hell of a lot better than what we have now
I genuinely believe everyone should serve some sort of customer service role at least once in their life.
Except the American response to this would be to be extra shitty to retail workers since customers were shitty to them during their tour.
That’s not how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes work. It’s the opposite.
