The 18th of December 2026, there will be a shift in US citizenship systems; a seismic and obviously anti-feminist change will be happening in the USA, but as far as I can see, there is absolutely nobody talking about it. Crickets. I’m the sort of person who follows links and gets very excited about legal things, so let me outline what’s going to happen.

The Selective Service System is getting an automatic upgrade.

This agency maintains the list of those eligible for conscription. From December this year, if you’re a male citizen and resident aged 18 to 26, you will automatically be put on this list. No form to fill in. No right of reply. You’re on the list, and you’re conscription-ready.

The federal government will identify, locate, and register young men for the draft, presumably using information from its own databases along with that of Meta, Amazon, Apple, etc. If you’re male, of draft age and live in the US, you will be on the list.

That’s Section 535 of the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorisation Act. Signed, passed and enacted in December last year.
