I’ll leave it at this
If you think all philosophy is filled with subjectivists and antirealists. U obviously have not taken the time to look into philosophy

"Science with out religion is lame, religion with out science is blind" Albert Einstein
One of the most famous members of the tribe
u said religion without science twice
there
lol
nope
@Deleted User I don’t think thats an actual quote, especially since the meaning of lame has changed since then.
Might be a translation or something, idk
From german
Idk
I just found it intersting
and its similar to the other quote
To bad mine is real 🤷
I feel like if you serve a set number of years with the US Military you should be given citizenship
Like
People want citizenship right? Make the required amount like 4-5 years. Military becomes bigger and stronger, people have to get vetted, people serve with our military
Plus people couldn’t keep whining “US CiTiZeNsHip toO hArD”
You wouldn’t be able to take in every person that signs up for it of course, equipping them would for far too expensive
Im skeptical about giving migrants the ability to go into positions of power in the military
I’m just thinking of basic frameworks
Not giving Juan the Drug Dealer the ability to enlist and become a general or something
@Orwell why wouldn't you be? They literally have no loyalty to the nation. Imagine if someone wanted to bribe them to be a spy, or they were fighting some enemy they were ethnically related to, or another migrant who was their superior decided to stage a coup. What would keep them from betraying the nation? Patriotism? Maybe, but I would never trust in that.
well im against immigration either way
but if we were pushing it maybe we could just toss them into labor camps instead
use them as fuel for warp drives
i dont think theyd survive to get their citizenship
~~that’s the point genius~~
@Flat i think as you've put out enlisting in a pretty general role would be a valid route to citizenship and the us programs emulating your frame are pretty successful. In that role campodin's objection doesnt seem to bear much weight as they're effectively just grunts, not privvy to much thats useful and pretty replaceable. if they show leadership potential and get their citizenship maybe then think about commissioning them
Basically, yeah.
apologies for the word salad there btw
In the end it boils down to merceneries being paid with citizenship for military services. There is no real reason why those people would abandon their former loyalities / identify with the host population / not fractionize from the society after millitary service. That plus the mechnizm creates a gender disbalance and that alone would cause conflict later on.
Given the payment of citizenship is only meaningful if they actually want to integrate into the host society it seems irrational that those who don’t seek to do so would make use of such an offer. Nor need military service be restricted to men.
The former is largely self selecting and self discriminating as candidates might easily be expected to serve or train under conditions that would simply not be worth the pay packet alone. Certainly there’s parallels here with the French foreign legion, marines, special forces and arguably most military employment
As for the latter quotas could be implemented if it’s a concern
Grammar just all over the place today
Well.. depending on the country of origin obtaining a paper that allows you to legally work in the host country and/or use its social services could already be a form of payment.
