Right, that makes sense. I guess the consumption is patriotic line is no longer so explicit. But I thought that was because it faded into the background of "just the way the world is" If I'm being charitable, maybe the draft is the only way to visualize the war being a catastrophe for them
The catastrophes will really be collapses in food systems, flooding, natural disasters. But the war is more salient so I guess this is how you go from the salient thing to the correct intuition about the end of the world?
Still kind of think that this is a boy coded social hysteria. But there's probably no reason to go around talking about it that way
Yeah, I think that is a lot of it, along with nonsensical things kids and the proverbial median voter believe about politics in general
