‘I am not made for war’: the men fleeing Ukraine to evade conscription
  • I agree with you but I also understand why this is happening. I would be hard pressed to say I would be made out for military service even though I have great respect for those in the military. Cowardice is one reason and a very relatable one at that. To say people aren't fleeing because of cowardice at all is naive. But to judge them for that is unfair. I think we all agree there.

    That being said, people in your comment chain aren't taking into account the fact that the very fabric of the Ukrainian society is under threat of total eradication. Historically that brings out a higher calling in people to defend their own homes, their loved ones, and their neighbors.

    At any rate, the fleeing of these men bodes quite poorly for the future of us all.

    I'm tired of people acting like Ukraine isn't holding back the fascist tide of Russian imperialism to the benefit of us all. If they were to give up today it would spell the end of their civilization, and a start to many great problems for the rest of us. Our peace is paid for in Ukrainian blood right now. Russia is sabotaging several foreign powers with intention to finish this genocide and expand the war. America, Germany, Sweden and elsewhere have been hit. And people act like we're not going to have to put our own soldiers on the line at some point. And the less Ukrainians in the fight, the sooner that will be.

    Give me the downvotes. I've studied Russian history.

    Edit: I'd also like someone to give me an alternative to conscription in their case. I see no other option.

  • Yep that's right. I have friends who could've done many things with their lives but they value our armed forces and joined up instead. It's something I hold in high regard. It's not a washout only ensemble.

  • Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
  • Exactly. That's why I play with cross play off on PS5, but I also think PC players shouldn't get locked out if they can't make an account in their country, so in my eyes that's the big fuck up. And it's Sony's fault, not Arrowhead. They should foot the community wrath and the remedy.

  • Hopefully Sony will see this as the biggest problem and do something about it. I don't think these people should have been able to spend money on this for it to be taken away, but that's a storefront issue as well. Steam and Sony will have to make some decisions about this, cause it wasn't thought out and implemented very well. They should've had some stronger safeguards.

  • Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.
  • I still love Arrowhead. It's not like their intention was to fuck over their players. I'm sure they're not super happy about the situation. Though the team being who they are, they're not exactly ones to take shit in any form lol. Which honestly makes them more enduring to me. Having suffered being a core BF5 player those devs these are not, DICE had bent over backwards to whoever screamed loudest on the subreddit which did nothing but damage the game and its lifespan. Granted this situation isn't totally comparable, but the parallels are there.
