Right now, with the circumstances we're in, conscription is a non-starter for anybody.Wait until they try o draft white males. The young men who have been deprived of educational and career opportunities are now supposed to kill and die fke it? Not likely.
But, imagine a world...
-The Chinese and or Islamists have launched some sort of infrastructure attack. And continue to do so.
-Most imports are cut off
-Power, water, sewage are only marginably available
-The economy is in tatters
-The populace is pissed off, hungry and scared, and deep in our DNA identity we know that it's the young males that have the job of defending.
When that happens, it will be - line up and fight, or starve/be destitute. The national mood will change entirely. Youth that don't do their duty will be treated like pariahs, or most likely conscripted into some kind of other labor. There won't be much choice. People that don't play along will find themselves on the short end of the ration stick.
The whole racial identity thing which is mostly a construct of politicians to create voting factions will be less of a thing - it will be about doing your part to survive, not the color of your skin.
It's hard to imagine, and I hope it never happens, but.. that's not an unlikely scenario.
