Thousands of youngsters have joined the army since October 7 — and it is illegal to refuse. Sofia Orr is likely to become the first woman since then to be jailed for refusing military service, but believes it is ‘wrong to take children and make them into soldiers’

      What an utterly stupid statement… She’s refusing to contribute to committing genocide, but that’s not enough for you. You think she should kill herself too…

      If everyone refused to contribute to the genocide, then there wouldn’t be one either. There’s no reason young people resisting conscription should be making futile self-sacrifices. She’s already sacrificing her freedom in refusing to participate in a genocide, and spreading awareness and dissidence.

      The western world isn’t ready for the active complicity conversation. Yes if you’re put in a situation where you’re the bad guy, you should absolutely do everything you can to disrupt it, even if it means you die in the process. To go along for your own survival is complicity.

      Maybe don’t outright KYS but if even a 10th of the population acted like this evil flat out wouldn’t be able to get a foothold in society. Failing miserably and immediately dying as a direct result is still a greater good on the world than actively partaking in their crimes, and if you don’t agree there’s a guy from a nazi instance just below me you can give your upvote to instead.
