    As an Australian who is 44 years old and in no way fit for service, I am enlisting with the reserve unit here.

    It’s nothing like full military service but it does teach how to use basic weapons, mechanics and logistics.

    If America does what we’re all thinking they’re going to do then Australia will possibly come under threat from china (and possibly America)

    As much as I hate the idea, one thing is true: every 100 years or so we need to fight for our freedom. Some people have never stopped and others like myself have been incredibly lucky but unfortunately, it looks like volunteering is gonna be the only way forward if we want to have a future without the American hegemony

        There’s a difference between defending and invading and once the waters have cleared it’s time to breakdown the old system and build a new one

        Nothing is forever. Nothing is perfect but I’m not going down without a fight either way.

          Again, I don’t care which group of capitalists runs the country and exploits the masses. If you want to die defending rich people’s property, that’s your prerogative though.

            Rich people’s property? Lol. I’ll be defending MY property. The government can get blown to hell. We will rebuild but I also won’t be supporting an ungoverned capitalist hell hole.

            I’ll be pushing for democratic, socialist with a tightly governed capatalism system.

            There’s no going back if shit actually hits the fan here.

              Literally nobody is coming for your property, but if you think that your current oligarchs will let you build any sort of socialism then prepare to be surprised.

                Is this what you do with your life? Just wallow without hope and capitulate to whoever has the biggest dong? Sad, man. Very sad.

                Catch me outside firing on ANY oligarch

                  Who said I’m wallowing, I just understand the system I live under. The only thing that’s sad here is that a grown ass adult doesn’t understand how capitalism works.
