      >Why are so few people in first world countries like America or EU willing to fight for their country
      Because they have a big frick off defensive alliance so powerful that they view "fighting for their country" as killing and dying for rich peoples foreign adventurism in the middle east or wherever.
      >but in 3rd world shithole s like Russia, India and China they are?
      Because they hate their neighbors and their neighbors hate them, when they think of war it's a much more local affair. Look how red Pakistan and India are for instance. They also think of it as resisting said 1st world adventurism.

      >More honest. Notice how Russians are not lining up to fight for their country.
      For all their chest thumping Russians are avoiding the war like the plague while Ukrainian has no shortage of volunteers. What you are fighting and dying for matters. The more you view your country and way of life as under threat, the more you are willing to fight.
      That is why Russian propaganda has been LARP'ing that Ukraine and NATO are an existential threat to Russia and not, we want to conquer foreign territory. If it were true, they would have those volunteers.

      Additionally all we think about war is in an aggressor environment, i.e. "join the military to 'fight' for your country in Aghanista, Iraq, etc."

      But once it's about defense it's a WHOLE different story because you don't just fight for your country... you fight for your family, too. And if you consider your own country to be the best place for your family to live, then escape is not an option.

    Well, in the case of Burgerland, there aren't a lot of immediate threats to the homeland. Beyond our own incompetence and mismanagement, I mean. Oceans to our sides, Canada to the north, Mexico to the south... it's easy for the populace to feel a lack of urgency. It'd be different if there was some belligerent and strong nation on our doorstep, but there isn't one.

    So that weeds out people who might be only willing to take up arms in *defense* of a nation, which would get more support.

    Lack of realistic threats. Germans wouldn't fight for their country because who would attack them? Russians have been told all their life that the west and China is itching to burn down their homes, so they are prepared to fight (at least when asked)

    My country is so full of foreigners Im scared when a war breaks out the government will deliberately kill off all the original white inhabitants and foreigners will inherit the country.

    Potentially the next major war could simply by an Orwellian farce where white men are loaded into ships and sunk out at sea periodically.

    Because would you fight for your country? Is poorly defined and can be roughly split into two categories, would you fight an invading force Vs would you go fight in some godforsaken hole thousands of miles away with no immediate benefit. Secondary to this is level of education particularly about the horrors of war, untrained civilians are generally not so gung ho about rushing into battle when they've learnt about the cornucopia of mental and physical impairments that potentially await them.

    Mostly comes down to data quality to begin with and manipulation of data by media to get the confirmation bias they want people to see.
    The saying of living in a post-truth environment is a bit over used, but its always been to some extent an element of information that really only gained traction due to better information delivery systems like the internet and depth of traditional radio and tv penetration into societies. Its always been there, but the ability to filter through vast amounts of bullshit is really difficult for normal people, its a fricking huge leap for the info-deprived, indoctrinated and just ordinary human beans that like appeals to their own good feels.
    Sort of like how we often make fun of psychological health care, crime, medication use in some 1st world countries- we only do that because-
    >It actually exists to be used as data points
    >it exists as a service of some sort
    >there's not as much of an agenda manipulating data
    So we see stuff like the UK or US being much more rapey than say, Sub Saharan Africa, because the crimes are reported and to some extent acted on, or say Europe uses more brain meds than Pakistan or India... well that's just because they actually have meds and can use them.

    Small professional armies, lack of realistic aggressors.
    I'm Italian, my country is surrounded by the sea on the south and borders stable EU allies (and fricking Switzerland) on the north. Realistically we are never going to war with them, so why bother?
    Any kind of other war would mostly involve the navy and the airforce and there is nothing a normal citizen can do in that sort of situation.

    Now if I were Finnish or South Korean it would be different, of course.

      This. Before WWI some Germans joked that France and Belgium could be taken with German police alone, because French are pussies that doesn't want to fight. You know what happened after. Then Germany did the same mistake again and if not for the 'real stab in the back' the French campaign wouldn't end so fast.

                First of all none of this was part of the original discussion or the point I made.
                Secondly dodging draft is the last option you have, and the only one I had in YOUR scenario you gave me. See

                So when you're forcibly drafted you're just gonna have a nice day? Works for me.

                Third and last, the smart way to do it would be to simply move out of the country before a war starts.
                None of this even fricking matters anyway because it has nothing to do with the topic of the thread and you bringing up this moronic conflict only confirms that youre another war tourist so im done arguing with you. Go back.

    When you ask people from the First world If they would fight for their country they likely think of being deployed to the middle east, to fight one of American forever wars, since until recently No real DirectX threat existed in Europe. India has China and Vice versa, Russian has "the West" as a whole, Finland has Russia and the Lust Gore in.
