Dana Milbank “Hearts’ the Slavery of Mandatory “National Service”

January 1, 2015

Like the good little totalitarian that he is, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post despises the younger generation for failing to serve the state as much as he thinks they should.  He calls them slackers and applauds various retired generals/defense contractor gangsters who would like to enslave at least a million new high school grads per year as either hired killers (“the military”) or some other evil governmental function.  He repeats the asinine notion announced by Obama that “we” are the government by equating “serving your country” with serving government and calls it “national service.”

This of course was the founding philosophy of the Hitler Youth in particular, and of Nazism in general.  “The Common Good Before Individual Good” was the main philosophy of Nazism — and of all collectivism for that matter.  The idea is that elitists like Yale Skull and Bones members like Dana Milbank define for us what is in the “common interest,” and then the state uses threats, violence, intimidation, imprisonment, and all of its police state tools to enforce it.
