Young people gathered in Berlin’s central Potsdamer Square on Thursday and marched through the German capital to protest against the government’s plans to reintroduce military service. While the police counted around 3,000 participants, organizers claimed there were 6,000 demonstrators in Berlin and 50,000 in more than 130 towns and cities across Germany.
Only, that‘s not „one of the reasons“ these people protest. That‘s a dumb culture war talking point, but not based in reality. I‘m sure you can find people that moan about women not having the same rights as men to die for their capitalist nation state, but as I said, that‘s not a protest reason. Inform yourself.
Also, you explicitly chose that non-reason to give as an answer (instead of actual reasons), which would be either ignorant as hell or willful agitation as a divisive tool by the use of half-truths. And I‘m inclined to think you‘re usually doing the latter.
You are the one using derogatory language towards women, calling them „young girls“. This whole whiney bullshit, how women are so privileged when it comes to the hard burdens, that the poor men have to suffer, but women are exempt from is straight up right wing incel yapping. It‘s chauvinist and sexist.
Sure, there is a debate to be had about this, but the societal progressive perspective would certainly not be to also invite women to die at the frontlines, but to actually not reinstate compulsory military service, but get rid of it altogether.
And then maybe open up the service for everyone that‘s willing to participate by their own motivation … oh wait, that‘s already the case …
