@Granwalder@doctorsex@DEERBLOOD@givenup@nugger this post is true in essence and content and gets to the core of why catholics (a racial group of meds and spics) cannot become protestants (a racial group of autistic northern europeans)
@lina@rdr The amount of "all people are complicit" talk natotards get up to is why I made this post.
Like nigga this sword cuts both ways and as an american civilian I don't really think its good, but I can steelman the case and I recognize its inherent validity, hence my concern over warfare.
Because the franchise expanded over time, the trend over time is to view the entire polity as an objectively solitary block of political violence. This trend includes children. The telos of mass conscription is ultimately all wars being eliminationism and genocide.
Non-limited warfare begets insurgency, which in turn creates a system wherein there exist no illegitimate targets.
The cost of "freedom" is being a political actor and therefore a valid military target, democracy boosters won't explain this to you.
Implicit to the case that non-levied civilians are innocent in conflict is the idea that they are non-party to what their leaders do and are not voluntarily levied, IE they are legitimate targets when participating, but do not actively participate otherwise.
Democracy obviously does away with this premise, everyone "consents" to the actions of the sovereign through participation, ergo everyone is a legit target.
