    Sorry, I’m completely immovable on the stance that war is bad. Never once has mass human slaughter made the world a better place.

    I understand that, like everything, there are those who disagree. Moral relativism aside, those people are wrong, in the sense that I have zero tolerance for supporting campaigns of mass death.

      So if you have an immoveable stance against war, isn’t it just as likely someone out there believes they have a similarly immovable stance in favor of the draft?

        Yeah, and that person, unlike me, is evil, because they are able to see human lives as pawns in a political game.

          Uh, just to be clear, I’m not actually trying to sway you. Just pointing out to OP, and to you I guess since you’re engaging, that when someone holds an “immoveable stance” as they themselves say, and aren’t open to changing their views, it is highly unlikely one can convince them to change. Like, someone could up to you and say you’re wrong and evil for your views but that probably isn’t going to convince you, right?

      Is every alternative preferable to war? For example, should Ukraine have agreed to become part of Russia to avoid war?
