@traestephens Look, making people work at a job that they don’t want with a threat of physical force being used against them if they refuse to do that job? That is literally what slavery is. It’s the dictionary definition. Anyway, enjoy your advocacy for slavery.

@traestephens 100%. I have been arguing for it for a while. Mandatory civil service after high school. Builds social cohesion and a shared national identity.

@traestephens Unconstitutional but more importantly, radically immoral. We are free citizens not subjects of the state.

@traestephens 100% agree. Military service, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, a resurrected CCC.

My brother @traestephens + i agree 100% on necessity of AMERICAN SERVICE🇺🇸 it neednt be military (+ it neednt imo be initially mandatory) but it needs to be prestigious like Teach for America was 20 years ago, a badge of honor that top grads pursued over Goldman or McKinsey
