Norway did it in 2015, and it seems to have been a success.
There has been surprisingly little debate about it here in Denmark. I haven't heard a single argument against it.
It should be noted that the draft is for training only, and that it's possible for pacifists to opt out of the military training by doing work for other institutions.
Personally I think it might be a great help for modernizing the military, because they'll need to rethink the old "one size fits all" procedures.
Can't wait until they turn you into Ukrainians
Maybe die fighting for Poland, who knows? Scandinavians deserve all of what they are asking for. They've participated in plenty of interventions themselves in countries they considered inferior.
Maybe we should distinguish the ruling class from workers.
Right, but when brown people across the planet get slaughtered on the hourly, distinguishing the ruling (comprador-filled really) and working class need not apply, definitely no nuance needed 🤓!
Is there nuance for Iranians? Russians?
Eta: Kurds? Syrians?
Yes, next question.
Maybe we should distinguish the workers who fall into a category that benefits from the exploitation and murder of another global category
Is there no form of conscientious objection there?
