Yeah, it’s easy to advocate for conscription in an alpine country that’s famously neutral and hasn’t been known to commit atrocities unrelated to banking.

I’ve participated in various activities with people who don’t share my beliefs and always will and nobody had to force me to go larping in bad weather or murder and torture civilians to accomplish that.

Besides, as far as fostering unity goes, there ARE limits.

I guess I could hang with a right-libertarian as long as we don’t discuss politics and their behavior isn’t as awful as their politics. We couldn’t be close friends, but we could probably hang out. Hell, I probably do already without knowing it.

I don’t want to have anything to do with murderers, torturers and fascists, though, no matter what. Forced conscription would take my choice in that matter from me in most countries.
