    A swiss advocating for universal conscription is rich. Is that really something you want? You want to see the US military expanded by orders of magnitude? China? India and Pakistan? You think that ends well for the world, and doesn’t just provoke more armed conflict and more death? Forced conscription is just another form of violence from the ruling class to control the regular people. It’s absolutely insane to say that it would be a net good for society, or even to say that all political ideals should be tolerated. Why should I tolerate someone that advocates for the extermination of people like me, or anyone, for that matter? I can respect their rights, but I cannot respect their ideas.

        I wouldn’t endeavor to engage in stereotype. I’m an American Jew, I just happen to strongly dislike the Israeli government and IDF.

      • >sees israel flag

        >haha must be rich stupid jew

        >I am so smart

        I’m an Atheist. Born and raised Catholic. No connection to Judaism or Israel besides the fact that I sympathize with them since the attack.

        I in fact dislike how overstepping Israel’s Mossad is. I think they illegally annexed the golan heights and have to give it back. But that wouldn’t fit into your picture of the world where everything is a stereotype and there are clear good and clear bad guys, would it?
