Slavery, but at least it's not discriminating based on sex.
How is that slavery? In a sane country, military service is actually a great tool to teach young adults how to behave within a diverse group and give life skills many lack at that age. In my homeland military service is only mandatory for men and i think it’s a shame and sexist that because I’m a woman I’m considered too fragile to do it.
You're forcing people to work for you who otherwise wouldn't.
That's textbook slavery.
I'm sure all the arguments you make in favor of it are similar to ones whites made to enslave blacks. "It's good for them." Lol.
In Austria we still have conscription and the officer in charge of our company outright said to us during basic training : "This right here fullfills all the criteria of slavery if conscription wasn't explicitly allowed I'd be in jail now!"
Nope. Text book slavery requires either ownership. Or forced labour without renumeration.
Not saying conscription is good. But slavery is a different thing. And using the term lightly is an insult to those who have faced it.
I bet you've got some great hot takes on taxes, too
You get paid, and you can still deny...
