@WashedOutGundamPilot And to think that the US is thinking they can go to war with Russia and China under these conditions. With all the apathy from the younger generations of men, do you think they are going to jump to the call to go fight for a system they do not feel they have a real stake in?
This is far different than how things were in the 1940s. Even if you force every man to fight, too many of them are going to ask the question, "What is the point?"
@WashedOutGundamPilot Off the topic of the sexual marketplace, how many men do not something else to motivate them? Dead end jobs, no ownership of a home or land, no sense of community. You do not even need any men to be incompliant during a war to have disastrous results. And when you have many men who actually want to tear down the system, what is stopping them from just killing their commanding officers instead of fighting "the enemy?"
@WashedOutGundamPilot Given how many of our leaders are literal boomers, it is not going to shock me if they keep pushing for this retarded idea of war since they have no idea how many of the younger generation of men feel like this. They will soon discover their mistake if they actually push us all the way to full out war. At best, they will lose the conventional war and power themselves. At worse, we have a full on nuclear apocalypse.
@houseoftolstoy We can’t have real motivators, they instill too much unpredictability because they exacerbate the drive to greatness. The regime wants middling, complacent warriors fighting for idle, momentary pleasures. Not men fighting for their wives, sons, and daughters. They feel they have plenty bodies to burn, and the latter aren’t worth the threat, even in view of their performance.
@WashedOutGundamPilot So many young man do not have even a steady sweetheart, much less a family to care about. So many young men lose out in the sexual marketplace that they have resigned themselves to not try and participate.
If you want these very men you need to be effective fighters in a war, you need to give them something to motivate them. And yes, sexual success (be it as significant as marriage or as cheap as casual sex) is an important motivator. Too many men just don't have this.
