Your first argument is "it isn't so because it isn't so", which is recursive, and as such invalid; I trust I needn't explain that to you. Your second argument assumes that because you're "old enough", duty wouldn't apply to you. In my view (as with Heinlein), we'd find something for you to do. You're free to refuse, but then.. you don't get a say, ever again. Only those who commit get to decide.
This proposal is predicated on responsibility, which is a brden, so it is anathema to the free-loaders of the world. But that is precisely why it is good, and why it should be implemented.
You keep coming back to this, and yet I want it for my country, and all my ancestors lived here many centuries before your country was even founded. Clearly I'm not some jealous immigrant, who wants this out of envy. So much for that interpretation of the motivating impulse...
You keep saying this, but repetition doesn't make it so. I don't want free-loaders having a say in my country's governance; only contributing citizens. How is that "peasant"-like? It is meritocratic. Decision-making power is 'bought', as it were, by investment into the community. "Skin in the game", you might say. Status is earned: neither a 'freebie' nor a hereditary privilege, but a fair reward for one's commitment to one's country.
(Neither is this feudalism, but I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with the finer points of that system.)
You have said dumb things about America so often that I'm confident that you know fuck-all about its true nature. (I am reminded of the adage that a mouse born in a stable is not, by virtue of his birth-place, an authority on thoroughbreds.) America is, hilariously, the most mercantile nation of Earth by all significant metrics. Only its princely nature, so to speak, is diminished by its misguided dedication to egalitarianism (which has bred most of its present ailments, in fact; including such madness as the 'woke' disease).
I am confident that your country will get over this temporary insanity, though. It only takes a bit of time. We'll all get over this together. You and I may even live to see it, although I do fear that's overly optimistic.
A legalist argument. Again, a repetition of "it isn't so because it isn't so".
Things are only thus until they are changed.
