If I belonged (by official assignment, or accident of birth) to a debased or bogeyman minority (no one really holds Sephardi or Indian against you, these days) I would not want to (a) fight for the ruling factions, killing other debased minorities who accidentally exist atop resources the imperial powers want, (b) take their dollar, and therefore their orders, (c) waste precious percentages of my very limited life allotment struggling for the "right" to do (a) and (b), or (d) attempt to persuade all the fuckwit bigots who don't like women, homosexuals, blacks, hispanics - or whatever - of my own claims to liberty and freedom, which of necessity must include freedom from their very presence, and liberty in the face of their customs and laws.
If I don't get to live forever (and who'd want to, anyway), why would I want to yield up any of my time serving the needs of cowards who live very full lives on account of the rest of us not living fully?

I'd say one of the most successful con jobs in history has been to convince people on the lower half of the socio-economic pyramid (not to even mention debased minorities) that it's somehow in their interest to risk their lives for the benefit of shit-spewing millionaires in suits.
