minus-squareLols [they/them]@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months ago The issue is you’re confusing compulsory labour with forced labour. seems like a you problem, what with you talking about compulsory labour while i explicitly said forced labour If you don’t do conscription or civil service work (the alternative option) the consequences are a fine, or jail. “youre not forced to do it, you just get tossed in jail if you dont do it” In countries at high risk of conflict (eg Taiwan), it’s practically required for their continued short-term existence. if a country can only motivate its people to actually protect said country by threatening them into doing so, it didnt actually deserve protection and just stops people discussing the actual pros and cons of the practice. good, i do not want people discussing the actual pros of slavery
