There’s something fundamentally-wrong with making the default male extracurricular club be a military-indoctrination program.
This principle should apply internationally, too.
Military should be a choice, not a programmed-into-the-population default.
ALWAYS have a not-military-recruiting/programming version competing with any military-recruiting/programming version: let competition live, don’t make the market captive.

Reinstating medieval “Christian” “sharia”, is all.
( misogyny as the “gateway drug” of fascism )

As the Christian bible’s Alpha & Omega would say, given the evidence in their Rev book: “those who call themselves Christian, but are not”.
9 “I know how you are suffering and how poor you are (though in fact you are rich!), and I know the insults of those who call themselves Jews but aren’t — on the contrary, they are a synagogue of the Adversary."
from https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A9&version=CJB
The label “Jews” was appropriate in biblical-times ( & now, in Netanyahu’s “Israel”, which Jeremiah & Isaiah both identify as … likely to be torched by their-G-D ), but now we have to use the label “Christians”, as well: times have changed.
Rub their noses in their own bible, not that it’ll make ANY difference:
people with ideology & without integrity won’t accept any evidence contradicting their unfalsifiable-belief/axioms, as has always been true.

If they’re going to do that, then shouldn’t they, for consistency, also do religious changes, too?
Like how Sharia does, isn’t there some Christian equivalent, among their “Christianity”??
The root-guru of the Christians DIDN’T either do, or advocate, any harm to anybody who was gay or other, in their bible, & given just how consistently rabid their bible is about such people … that absence is conspicuous.
These fake-Christians, with their machiavellianism, are fooling nobody.
IF you need machiavellianism to get a law enacted, THEN you aren’t “representing” your constitutuents.
IF you are enacting policies that your “Christ” NEVER advocated-for, THEN … you are pushing your-own religion, and NOT his.
Nothing has changed, iow.
Exactly as Rev identifies “those who call themselves Jews, but are not”, … “those who call themselves Christian, but are not” is our-day’s equivalent: SAME logic, only the circumstance changed.
( don’t mistake me: ALL religions get the same treatment: there are fake Jews, fake Christians, fake Muslims, fake Hindus, fake Buddhists, fake Atheists ( fundamentalist-atheists who pretend logic & objectivity, but it’s all ideology wearing “scientific” “makeup” ), etc.
There are NO traditions on this planet which somehow have made themselves “pure” or “holy”.
Purification has to begin within oneself, & that takes decades, IF it can be accomplished within a single-life/incarnation.
Everybody’s got the timescale wrong, for evolving purity: it isn’t within-a-single-life, it is within-a-single-soul-as-it-gets-caught-in-many-many-lives.
Same as people “growing up” within a decade or 2: that’s a joke.
Give 3-decades to experiencing stuff,
give 3-decades to pushing-out wrong-meanings,
& then, at around 60-ish years old, MAYBE you’ve sorted your own meaning out enough, to be dismantling this-world’s disinformation & idiocy with enough balance to be “grown up”.
Hollywood, with its ignorance-is-holy-because-it-shows-youth religion is … successful, in brainwashing entire-generations, but … sigh … ah, of course: since nothing can compete against mainstream propaganda, AND nobody bothers showing young people that there is real value in outgrowing worldviews, outgrowing cultures, outgrowing “religions”, outgrowing mind-regimes ( which is all that such things are ) … why would anybody value it?
Anyways, now’s perfect: AI has automated inauthenticity, & money’s pushing for inauthenticity to completely-displace reality, & all these highjackings of law, at every level, are all part of the ideology-will-eradicate-rationality takeover that our whole species is doing, everywhere, right?
The Great Filter.
Either fight-for objectivity & correct-reasoning, & correct legislative-process & correct-legislation, XOR push, like these machiavellians for their ideological-dominion, & hope that accountability never touches you, right?
This world may be a lost-cause. )
Ah: somebody who actually understands that the country is in the process of being highjacked…
Too little, too late, I’m afraid, but glad somebody got it!
