I don’t care how you see yourself, I want nothing to do with you or your movements. I know the economic draft is a great injustice, but to replace it with an administrative draft, and to extend this administrative draft into every aspect of the economy is to multiply the injustices, and to kill people like me. Oh, sure, you might have exemptions for the time being, but if I’m exempt, that doesn’t mean I’m going to let someone else get drafted and, if they are at all neurodivergent, get hazed, tortured, and quite possibly killed. My grandfather was drafted during the war. By the time he got back he had to smoke, I think, several packs a day to cope with his ptsd.
