The worst form of slavery, conscription (kill or be killed for the ruler) is getting more severe in Ukraine. The ruling class is going to force about 160,000 human beings into the military to fight a war.
Conscription and drafts are horrific practices, and once humanity evolves past government (mental slavery, or the belief in authority) we may actually see some healing from such evils.
Why Military Conscription Is Worse Than Slavery
However, Ukraine insists on doubling down and making it clear that even the illusion of freedom is unwarranted. “We aim to call up 160,000 more individuals, which will allow us to staff military units with up to 85% personnel,” he said, noting that this information came from Alexander Litvinenko, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.
According to previous statements from lawmakers (ruling class members) and media outlets, more than a million soldiers have already been drafted, yet high losses have left the Ukrainian Armed Forces plagued by manpower shortages.
Shortly after Litvinenko’s comments, Associated Free Press (as reported by RT) reported that these troops would be called up over the next three months, citing an unnamed “security source.”
The Ukrainian Armed Forces had around 250,000 active-duty personnel at the beginning of 2022, a number that rapidly swelled once Vladimir Zelensky called up reservists and forbade draft-age men from leaving the country.
This spring, faced with mounting losses, Kiev lowered the draft age from 27 to 25 and significantly tightened mobilization rules, requiring potential recruits to report to conscription offices for “data validation.” These checks often result in people being immediately taken into the army and sent to the front line. –RT
According to several Western mainstream media outlets, conscripted soldiers are often sent to the front with limited training, and are regarded by their more experienced comrades as unfit for combat. “When the new guys get to the position, a lot of them run away at the first shell explosion,” a deputy commander fighting in the Donetsk Region told Financial Times last month. “Some guys freeze [because] they are too afraid to shoot the enemy, and then they are the ones who leave in body bags or severely wounded,” another commander added.
