CMV: I’d be pacifist even in a global conflict.
With things as they are at the moment, I’ve been finding my strict attitude to resisting war challenged. I’m a Brit who was brought up by my father in a strictly pacifist way - the only things I could do to be disowned would be joining the military and the police force.

They’re having a gun put in their hands and ideologies shoved down their necks, then taken to the frontline’. That the only way to break the use of working classes as cannon fodder is to refuse no matter the consequences.

Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where it gets complicated
From a practical angle, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart
Bluntly speaking, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified Others will probably see it differently.

I get the idea, the timing matters more than people admit Time will tell.
If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent Let’s see what happens next. That’s just my read on it.
To be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out.
