Last time CONSCRIPTION operated in Australia, was by a COALITION government, Little Johnny Howard was a great advocate for CONSCRIPTION, but he managed to avoid national service himself, seems dying in a far off land was for someone else not Little Johnny. The young Australians that CONSCRIPTION didn't kill in Vietnam, it managed to turn many of a generation of young men into drug dependent, manic depressives, hell bent on suicide. We have a COALITION government to thank for that.

CONSCRIPTION is like CONSTIPATION, no one wants it! Sorry, except some old bloke who could never be conscripted himself.

What is the alternative to conscription with mindless demographic ?

What is the alternative to conscription with mindless demographic ?
- non-conscription with a mindless demographic?
(not sure we can do anything about the 'mindless demographic' part)

and non conscription means 'people have to choose to do it'
- So we've got to build a platform where its easy for them to choose to do it, a system where they WANT to do it
- Which also means you have to give them 'prestige' for doing it
- Great rewards and incentives, and they have to believe in it.

And if you want people to fight and die for our country
- Then you may want to stick to the 'defend our country' part, and try to stay away from the 'invade other countries' part.

Just thoughts.

I think it all comes together, great possibilities
With a simple 'double dole for full time work helping the government save money' scheme.
'The job you have when you don't have a job'
- So when people go through hard times they don't lose everything and end up in the system requiring taxpayer funded support and counseling.
- Drugs, alcohol, marriage breakdown due to financial stress etc.
Turn a government expense into a break-even.
Why pay someone x-amount if you can pay 'x times 2' and get a full time worker?
Earn 'training credits' to upskill.
Capitalism requires a 5% unemployment rate to maintain a pool of job applicants to prevent wage growth.
- Give those people looking for work an alternative.
- Get your workshift and information about the tasks via an app
- Have digital resumes where qualifications can't be faked, and which determine ones eligibility for a particular workshift, depending on skill level.

Yep, I can see the add now!

Paul1405,
The first is clearly impossible in your case & the second raises the question of what do you with the oxygen you steal from us ?

«What is the alternative to conscription with mindless demographic ?»

Such as goats?
- You milk them!

Most humans do have a mind of their own!
Yes, I am referring to that very bit which Indyvidual wishes to cut off so then he can milk us.
