- German elites, including journalist Tilman Gerwein, advocate for mandatory conscription to defend "freedom and diversity," yet they themselves avoid service, exposing blatant double standards.
- The same government pushing conscription suppresses dissent, bans opposition parties and polices speech – raising questions about what "freedom" is actually being defended.
- Major parties in the German parliament now support forced military service, with proposals mirroring Sweden's model – potentially drafting 200,000 Germans annually, including women and foreigners.
- Polls reveal deep reluctance, with only 17 percent of Germans willing to fight for their country as youth on both the left and right feel alienated by a government that vilifies them or prioritizes migrants.
- The conscription push reflects elite desperation, with open admissions of grim outcomes (e.g., trench warfare) and no genuine national unity – just coercion for a fractured, multicultural society they helped create.
Germany's political and media elites are once again demanding sacrifice – in the form of mandatory conscription of young Germans to protect the nation's so-called "diversity."
In a recent article published in Stern magazine, writer Tilman Gerwein calls for the mass conscription of German youth to defend "freedom and diversity." But it appears that the journalist and the elites he serves as a mouthpiece for want this sacrifice, just not from themselves.
The irony is thick: Gerwein, safely past draft age, urges young Germans to become cannon fodder for a state that increasingly despises them. The current German state that prioritizes migrants over its own citizens and suppresses dissent is now expecting blind loyalty from those it has spent decades maligning.
Gerwein's piece is a masterclass in hypocrisy, lamenting Germany's "unbearable complacency" and demanding that the youth abandon their idealized existence for the trenches. Yet nowhere does he volunteer himself. Like so many of Germany's elite, he champions war from the safety of his keyboard while ensuring he will never face conscription.
The Stern article is riddled with contradictions. It insists Germans must fight for "freedom and diversity," yet the same government enforcing this rhetoric criminalizes dissent, bans opposition parties and polices speech.
Given these, a big question remains: What "freedom" is left to defend? The freedom to be arrested for criticizing migration policy? The freedom to watch your country import millions while native youth are sent to die?
No one wants to die for a country that hates them
Gerwein isn't alone in this crusade. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is pushing for Sweden's conscription model, which could force 200,000 Germans annually into service – including women and foreigners.

This pro-conscription sentiment is now prevalent in the Bundestag, Germany's parliament. The Green Party, once pacifists, now advocate for war. Even the Bundestag Vice President Bodo Ramelow of the Left Party has demanded that conscription be returned.
The problem for Germany's rulers is simple: No one wants to die for them. A recent Forsa poll commissioned by Stern found that only 17 percent of Germans would take up arms to defend their country. It also found that 61 percent of respondents would not fight for the nation.
The youth, in particular, see little worth fighting for. On the one hand, conservative Germans are alienated by a government that labels them fascists. On the other hand, left-wing youth coddled by the same system recoil at the thought of combat.
Gerwein's piece acknowledges this crisis, but offers no real solution beyond coercion. The magazine frets that Germany’s "atomized and multicultural society" lacks the unity needed for war – yet it was Stern and its ilk that spent decades dismantling national cohesion in the name of "diversity." Now, they demand young Germans die for the very ideology that has made their country unrecognizable.
Worse still, the call to arms is blatantly cynical. The cover of Stern's conscription issue features two White youths – hardly a reflection of Germany's "diverse" future.
Germany’s elite admires Ukraine's conscription model, where men are dragged from the streets to die in a war they didn’t start. But even Ukraine's patriotic fervor is waning – with its right-wing battalions decimated and its leaders now considering mass migrant replacements. Germany, with even less popular support for war, faces a grimmer reality.
The truth is clear: Germany's rulers want an army of unwilling conscripts to fight wars they themselves will never see. They have spent years eroding national identity, importing millions who owe no loyalty to Germany and criminalizing patriotism – only to now demand blind sacrifice.
The youth see through the lie. As one critic wrote: "Why should you fight for a country that you can't even be proud of?" The answer is simple – they shouldn't.
