why does conscription exist, its not like people really believe in anything more than consooming or being a whore or wageslaving for more money for more hedonism etc
what's the point of this outdated nationalist policy in a globalized world god i hate boomers i wish the corona would just wipe out the higher ups then i'd finally be free of this farce
you are confused, conscription exists not because people like to be conscripted. It exists because your leaders need warm bodies between them and their enemies
To send young people to die for big corps interests, of course
>globalized world
How can you be so delusioned after this global corona lockdown?
This is global world of nationalistic societies.
And conscription is part of formal socialisation, as well as school and universities.
The only reason of this is to make masses good obeying citizens.
i've always felt this was the case the only thing i'll be defending is the oil platforms and shipyards they can always just get new immigrants or citizens i'm way ahead of their thin veneer of paint hiding their views of the kids around my age being expendable
>because people like to be conscripted
sad thing is here conscription is supported by everyone but the conscripts although the leader part is probably true
it exists for countries who want/need a big military but don't want to pay much for it like Russia, North and South Korea, Turkey or Israel
Those aren't conscripts but professional soldiers
Singapore is a very small country, singaporeans probably believe that conscription would make a difference in the defense of the country in times of war. That seems false to me.
>How can you be so delusioned
corona changes nothing nationalistic seethe can't make it untrue how everyone is still currently scrambling to buy medical equipment from taiwan, korea, china, japan etc.
if anything most people are clamouring for globalization to start again given how hard the americans have been demanding the economy reopen
it's a literal third world policy
yeah the b**mers of my country are particularly annoying it's no different from elsewhere they got theirs too bad for us
Nigga just dodge it that's what I did
unfortunately i live in a country of nationalistic simps so i'd need an unironic escape plan and country to flee to in order to do it
I have a question regarding Singapore. How come you have so much financial output and yet have zero cultural output? I have never seen a singaporean TV series, movie, song or basically anything related to culture.
Are you guys forced to become efficient worker drones and thus have no time for recreation?
Can't you just say you have mental issues or something?
>Are you guys forced to become efficient worker drones and thus have no time for recreation?
we arn't just forced the entire culture here is geared around being such a being, everything might aswell be soulless since if it doesn't produce a profit or isn't perfect/top on the spot it's just canned
nobody wants to make anything worthwhile or develop anything this place is like a anthill of managers and boomers and annoying american-work-ethic styled bosses
some guys of my age are different to this but everyone else is the definition of normie imagine the combination of american soysoomer culture and japanese-work ethic
to make sure the army has enough well trained soldiers to defend the country in case of attack
Imagine being a french conscript forced to die for this larper
Agree.
It's literally slavery
they are super anal about checking everything and i don't think i could fake it, plus if i did fake it i'd be charged criminally
additionally there are still vocations they could send me into to waste my time, also for men you only get certain citizenship rights through military service
i just can't tolerate this conservative simphole i have no desire to serve this retarded country that combines the kind of asinine harsh nationalism for guys and the free and easy life for anyone who isn't a guy here fuck that
I hate it, if anything conscripts should agree to slaughter the traitors that gleefully think we're expendable
your alternatives are malaysia, china or whatever other shithole is around there. Just accept it and get it over with
Not as a bad as it seems.
At least you got a nice pensions, meanwhile you were maimed in one of France's enemies you were abandoned at your own luck
Redpill me on japanese work ethic
yeah i'll probably move sometime in the future but i'm really seething
ironically only the rich or really poor seem to not mind conscription here, everyone else in the middle with better choices will probably leave
go to work, wife cheats, no love in bedroom etc. etc.
i'm just lucky that my parents had me as an accident and their too old for their own midlife crisis
Are women required to do any service? Here women are free from any obligations, which is pretty ironic for a country that claims to be pinnacle of equality. It wouldn't have to be a military service for them, there's a civilian service option for men as well. Why can't they do that?
just do it
you'll get through it
i already done with my service last year
nope, which is why i have no desire to contribute to this corporate shithole
i am doing it i'm just seething while doing so
I unironically wish my dad never met my mom
Do it.
Eventually it will leave a positive mark on your cv.
Some HR drones reject draft dodgers.
Me too but we cant do shit
At least i save about 1k usd from one year service in the army
You probably get more than me
Just be an ass and try to skate through the whole ordeal. If you are lucky they will discharge you for being inept, or put you on broom duty for the rest of your time.
Is it possible to do that without loosing out on post service rights as you mentioned?
And as mentioned, employers like seeing military service on your resume. Doesn't matter if you were an A-grade soldier or a janitor, your military performance does not show.
>Some HR drones reject draft dodgers.
Boomers tend to be like that, but niggas under 40 don't care about it as much. I had a legit reason for dodging it. Socilosis they didn't even let me in
