You’re trivializing authoritarianism by focusing on the US. Focus on Iran or Russia instead, then you’d have yourself a fun time.

Ummm… That’s EXACTLY what the USA does buddy. If you don’t see how they aren’t equivalent, you’re brainwashed. Propaganda is strong in the USA, but you are just a fucking idiot at this point. Byeeeee
No it’s not. Russia has a conscription forcing young people to die fighting against Ukraine. The US does not have such a thing. Russia is an authoritarian fascist dictatorship which is rapidly becoming a terrorist state because of their fear of Ukraine joining NATO.

It’s true that the US doesn’t have the draft, but it does have horrible situations where many young people see an obvious path to economic stability, and that’s joining the military. Maybe the military is their only clear way out of poverty. And predictably, as has been the case for decades, recruiting sergeants will lie about what these young men and women are going to be asked to do. But once they sign the papers, it’s too late. And years later, when they leave the service, they’ll be stuck trying to get medical care from the VA. Sometimes that works, but there are countless horror stories out there.
