    It’s not good enough to simply say you’re a conscientious objector, otherwise everyone and their brother would do it and conscription as a concept would fail.

    So, if you are one, you gotta fucking prove that shit somehow. Words aren’t good enough. Go protest, join an org, donate to charities, whatever. Need some evidence though.

    It’s not complicated to understand.

      Saying it is good enough. It’s not unreasonable to think a regular person might be against human rights abuses. You can’t demand that citizens go support your imperialist regime just because they only indirectly show support for human life.

          Testimony is evidence, that’s how court works. This is the reason why you swear an oath of honesty under penalty of perjury.

            No mate.

            Testimony of what you witnessed, did first hand or was told first hand is evidence.

            ‘I value human life over video games’ is a statement or opinion on your thoughts/intent.

            That is not evidence.
