How could one convince you that your philosophical views are bad?

Sorry, I’m completely immovable on the stance that war is bad. Never once has mass human slaughter made the world a better place.

I understand that, like everything, there are those who disagree. Moral relativism aside, those people are wrong, in the sense that I have zero tolerance for supporting campaigns of mass death.

So if you have an immoveable stance against war, isn’t it just as likely someone out there believes they have a similarly immovable stance in favor of the draft?

Yeah, and that person, unlike me, is evil, because they are able to see human lives as pawns in a political game.

Is every alternative preferable to war? For example, should Ukraine have agreed to become part of Russia to avoid war?

Quite a few nations capitulated against the Nazis within days or even without a fight to avoid war. It saved a lot of lives. Does that make it the right choice? Who is to say…

What’s for sure is that Boris shouldn’t have vetoed the peace agreement in 2022.

Perhaps by bringing up resources that prove my philosophical views bad

What kind of resources are we talking about here? Clearly it doesn’t help to make you talk to 1 person that holds contrasting views, as that seems to be your starting point. A study of 1000? A study of 100000? An empirical research over 100 years? 500? A meta analysis? 5 people talking to you about it? 10? 100?

So have you tried that with the people who agree with the draft? Did you find it was convincing to them?
