The older I get the more I think Starship Troopers had it right. Service = Citizenship. No time in military service, no right to vote.

Biggest redpill in starship troopers is the longer we stay on earth the more likely our extinction

2019-02-04 23:59:59 UTC  

Would you guys recommend Starship Troopers? I've really liked the Foundation series. And I've been thinking about something similar, voting rights based on having "skin in the game". How that would be defined or determined, I'm not sure.

The devil is always in the details. Only 8.4% for the Danish People's Party.

Starship troopers is painful because it's grim future is so much brighter than our present.

2019-02-05 00:03:43 UTC  

Also well worth the read.

2019-02-05 00:04:22 UTC  

@Jakob-NY , The first time I read it was on my 1st deployment. After I finished it I wondered how we got into this mess, and it was that the decisions were made by people who had no skin In the game . It was written in the 50s if I’m correct, and it’s just as applicable now as it was then.

Corporal punishment for parents of criminals .... 🔥

2019-02-05 00:05:29 UTC  

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check it out @Victor O @Alexander Pechorin

2019-02-05 00:06:52 UTC  

If we started canning offenders,like Singapore, there would be a severe reduction in crime.

2019-02-05 00:07:32 UTC  

Yeah but Starship Troopers goes next level.

2019-02-05 00:07:51 UTC  

Sure does 😁

2019-02-05 00:08:25 UTC  

I wouldn’t mind at all serving in the military were it not Israeli proxy wars or destabilizing countries for profit

2019-02-05 00:09:06 UTC  

Maybe these parents would stop trying to be friends and start being Mom & Dad

2019-02-05 00:09:28 UTC  

The military is super gay

2019-02-05 00:09:37 UTC  

Eisenhower warned the country, no one listened

2019-02-05 00:09:51 UTC  

Starship Troopers military is sweet though

2019-02-05 00:10:22 UTC  

John Birch has been spot on

2019-02-05 00:28:35 UTC  

Lol. Why Bhutan?

2019-02-05 00:28:36 UTC  

I just like the Bhutanese flag.
Bhutan/Wales Dragon alliance when?

2019-02-05 00:29:25 UTC  

Celtic Buddhism is the way forward

2019-02-05 00:30:05 UTC  

Dude I’d love to go to Bhutan

2019-02-05 00:30:17 UTC  

They’re VERY strict about entering the country though

2019-02-05 00:30:36 UTC  

Bhutan’s one of the few countries the US doesn’t have relations with

2019-02-05 00:30:38 UTC  

$200/day visitation fee

2019-02-05 00:30:46 UTC  

On top of everything else.

2019-02-05 00:31:13 UTC  

Happy people, apparently their biggest problem is cigarettes

2019-02-05 00:33:29 UTC  

Listen to their anthem on YouTube

2019-02-05 00:33:33 UTC  

So strange

2019-02-05 00:38:08 UTC  

I dig it, honestly

2019-02-05 00:38:32 UTC  

It’s like the Japanese anthem. Very unmistakably theirs.

2019-02-05 00:38:46 UTC  

If monarchies are so bad why are Singapore and Luxumburg so wealthy?

2019-02-05 00:39:14 UTC  

Singapore also works for the “colonialism is bad” argument

2019-02-05 00:43:15 UTC  

@ophiuchus you will need a Bhutanese passport

2019-02-05 00:43:44 UTC  

Monarchy is for Europe

2019-02-05 00:43:50 UTC  

Not America sorry

2019-02-05 00:44:21 UTC  

I refuse to have a monarch

2019-02-05 00:44:25 UTC  

I think you can visit- you just have to go under a state sponsored tour group and it’s very expensive

2019-02-05 00:45:23 UTC  

Oh no it’s a meme

2019-02-05 00:45:30 UTC  

I got memed on
