Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
The Internet is not a great place to Do Nuance but this is one of those places where nuance is really called for.
A lot of enlisted folks enlisted out of economic need, did not sign up yesterday, & really cannot just walk off the job without severe consequences.
AND enlistment is not heroism, AND
Done.

It's easy to get clicks from telling everyone that stormtroopers are going to surround every polling station in America, but vital action now includes making sure:
1) Everyone is registered
2) they haven't been purged if they WERE registered
3) they know what ID they need
4) they can get that ID
