Here's an article from [Medialens on fighting for your country](https://www.medialens.org/2025/wurden-wir-alle-deutsch-sprechen-the-case-against-fighting-for-sir-keir-starmer/ ).
Mark Urban finds it "disturbing" that 40% of Zoomers would not fight for the UK under any circumstances.
Media Lens, and I, think it more marvelous, a glimmer of hope.
The idea that I should risk my life to fight in a war to protect the monarch's right to reign Britain, the barely democratic first past the post system, and the increasing wealth of western oligarchs, and never ending austerity is sickening.
Fight to protect the monopolists rentierism, and Starmer's welfare cuts and attacks on the needy?
Nope.
Fight to protect this bipartisan tory oil regime that rules the country and intends to burn fuel till the walls come down?
Nope.
This country is already under occupation, by the bankers, and the capitalists, and the petrofascists that will destroy us all for more dollars in their pockets.
Every war they have executed in my lifetime was based on a lie.
They can all fuck off if they think I'd fight for any of them. Wankers.
The only worrying thing is 60% of the zoomers are apparently still falling for it.
