@aral@mastodon.ar.al What's the source for this?

@aral saw that one pop up and thought "Oh, just like Israel"

@aral If you asked German men of that age, I’d be surprised if even one in tens of thousands knew this.

@mvsde@mastodon.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al Thanks. I know remedial German, but the translation is gonna be a trip.

@aral I'm genuinely beginning to wonder if this applies to me, I've been residing in another country for more than five years but I still have German citizenship.
-
Ah, yes.
But 1)_they haven't even implemented -any- procedure for this yet. (Dep. of Def. wouldn't know on which pile/in which file your notification goes.)And 2) you have to notify, yes, but the law doesn't (yet) provide any means to deny absence.

@anarchiv @aral huh. I didn't think about that at all.
I'm a dual citizen and haven't had residency in Germany for eight years now, so I didn't think it applies. But maybe that's not specified anywhere?
Sure as hell it applies to my brother, who lives in Berlin but is going to move to Oslo in summer. Feels completely surreal.

@aral It's a requirement for World War Three, as we cannot have one without Germany /s

@aral nice. Finland doesn't have that and we have a long border with Russia and Russian army bases just behind the border.
Of the fighting age? What's the fighting age in Germany 18-45?

@lyrial See alt text.

@aral yeah, I think it's a bit more nuanced in practice. They've had a similar law on the books for years, from my understanding, and it's just a rubber-stamp. They officially need to ask for permission, and because there is no active war the Bundeswehr officially has to give them permission
Ukraine has a similar law, and because they are at war they won't give permission

@aral
Under a capitalist society, freedom of movement can only refer to the movement of capital, and by extension, maybe, goods.But never people.
And since now Western Empire sees irregular migration as a form of hybrid warfare, it is even worse.
It is not even "you can't move", it is "your movement is an act of war."

@ujay68 @aral the law was enacted in January, but the media only started to report it a couple of days ago. No one has read the new law. I doubt that in parliament many have read it. Some claim that it is in violation of EU law, but I am not really sure.
What we need is a man between 17 and 45 who wants to leave the country for more than 3 months, for example a student.

This is a bog standard thing in countries where there is compulsory military service
