I've always been generally against most ideas for mandatory service, but holy fuck. Maybe I'm deeply wrong. Maybe _everyone_ should have to do a year of volunteer work in a war zone to get this shit out of their system.

Also... ugh. I've for 25 years now been on team "actually Fight Club is a vicious satire of how fascist movements coalesce around privileged people who've convinced themselves that they're oppressed and every would-be Tyler Durden has deeply missed the point" but uh maybe I was the idiot all along?
