Saying it now: Jimmy Carter is the ultimate model of an ex-president who used his time after office to be of service to others.
@StevenBeschloss he’s sort of miraculous. he became in his post-presidency what all of his supporters had hoped for him to be while in office.
@hwestiii @StevenBeschloss we let draft dodger reagan get away with corruption just like all republiguns
@Yo_Martinez @hwestiii @StevenBeschloss
Evading conscription is a poor attack on a fascist, or anyone else.
@pleignjayne @hwestiii @StevenBeschloss no its not , its an actuate discription of him and the time period he came up in , and most lying republiguns are draft dodgers

@Yo_Martinez @hwestiii @StevenBeschloss he was a horrible person, but enslavement is still fascist!

Conscription is enslavement, anyone who supports it is wholly immoral.

But go on about how enslaving people to commit murder for capitalist gain is a good thing.

@pleignjayne @Yo_Martinez @StevenBeschloss thanks for the sweeping generalizations
Conscription Is Slavery

Bryan Caplan: Slavery is involuntary servitude; conscription is involuntary military servitude; therefore not only is conscription slavery; it’s a particularly heinous form of slavery that often ends in maiming and death. Yet most people disagree – and so did the U.S. Supreme Court back in 1918. … I think I finally figured out what most people are thinking. Namely: They implicitly regard slavery not as mere involuntary servitude, but as low-status involuntary servitude. … conscripts have high status – and therefore can’t be slaves.
