Well TIL. But to call it liberation isn't correct. America is also kidnapping people from their homes and work places but to say of another country was to invade and take a territory wouldn't be the same as liberation. Liberation has a higher standard where the people of the land receive sovereignty and a self-determined government.

Y'all are desperate to relive the glory days of WW2 when it was clear who the baddies were. I get it, Americans do the same.
Conscription has always violated human rights but there are certainly better words like "conquer". And let's not pretend Russia isn't also conscripting men (though certainly not those in their 50s).
If you make Roman/Nazi salute than your opinion is not worth considering. Either you're doing it because you approve of an ideology that will always fail, or you lack the contextual awareness to form an insightful opinion.
Edit: judging from your comment history, if you posted an image for yourself doing the salute I would say the latter. But we all know you're too ashamed/scared to share an image of yourself doing that "gesture"
Where do you think the Nazis got the salutes from? And for that matter, where do you think we got the word fascism from?
Ehh, it is not that our dopamine receptors are fried. We are all wired to seek out information. But most of what we get is starving us for actual useful information so we have to wade through an endless sea of slop. The "instant gratification" is largely us not wanting to deal with the bullshit and get straight to what is useful.
Anecdotal: traveling to the smoky mountains and rented some bicycles. Owner said rentals are down 30% compared to this time last year.
Don't bother with this guy, @ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works has done some mental gymnastics to justify starving the Palestinian population. So it really isn't surprising they would want to vote for the most ghoulish option.
When requirements are "Whatever" then by all means use the "Whatever" machine: https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/
And then look for a better gig because such an environment is going to be toxic to your skill set. The more exacting the shop, the better they pay.
Literally the opposite experience when I helped material scientists with their R&D. Breaking in production would mean people who get paid 2x more than me are suddenly unable to do their job. But then again, our requirements made sense because we would literally look at a manual process to automate with the engineers. What you describe sounds like hell to me. There are greener pastures.
Maybe there's a better example but the point remains, liberating a people comes with self-determination. It's not a matter of how little rights the people had before the military action.
