Somewhere I think this is all a big scheme to actually push the EU to spend more on defense instead of trying to fuck over Ukraine

Please let it be no surprise that Russia isn’t a great country either

Talked about women’s day at work and one of my coworkers said ‘well no sex for you then this saturday’ which was just proper weird tbh

My partner works in the art industry so by default we have a lot of artsy friends and a lot of them live in these incredibly beautiful historical appartments in the middle of the city. We hang around there often and it is always a bit decadent. Classical music, champagne, nice clothes, etc. Through networking we (and they) also know a lot of people higher up. Politicians, business owners, whatever. We sometimes see them around and hang out with them.

Apart from that I also frequent hipster soy milk coffee bars and stuff.

I’m basically a huge hipster soyboy guy coming straight out of an Instagram influencer page except I’m a communist. I didn’t grow up like this for what it’s worth. So it always amazes me a world like this exists.

I think we should radically change the way we view education and labour as a whole. Right now we see higher education as a status symbol while ‘lower’ education is not. People with a lower education tend to do more practical and physical jobs. Construction, cleaning, factory work just to name a few things. They often have lower pay, less workers’ rights and are often more physically damaged by their jobs. And we accept this all because they are seen as lesser due to their education.

Education should serve as an enrichment to life where people can develop sets of skills free of status. My father never went to college or university. He barely finished high school. He is a very practical man though and the people in the neighborhood we grew up in, often rich and educated, all came to him because he was the only person who could fix bicycles. The same people look down on him solely because he doesn’t have a degree.

Education should be provided to everyone, for free, in any forms whether it be practical or more theoretical. And we should stop viewing different degrees as lesser of as more valuable. We need carpenters. We need lawyers. We need doctors. We need cleaning personnel. Even in a socialist society. But we should not see the cleaning lady at an office building as less valuable as a doctor in a hospital.

If, for example, a janitor decided he wants to do something else in life and become a psychologist, just to name something, I believe he should be able to and should be encouraged to do so.

In our current situation, to get back to your question, I’m not sure if we should actively encourage socialist to study in higher education. If they want to, sure. But actively encouraging, imo, leads to a divide in the working class where the more blue collar job people might see us as elitist. After all, why SHOULD you persue higher education just for the sake of it? Isn’t being a worker in a factory not good enough? The message you send is really important here.

You have one life. One life on this planet. You can explore, learn, love, grow and give a lot. You have one life and you can try to make as much of it as possible. Billions of people to meet, to learn from, to exchange experiences with. And after that you are death. Time is valuable in this life.

And you choose to post food and naked women on a social media platform. All to spite some other people whom you have never met, just because you feel superior.

Because at some point I feel like I lost a part of the plot

At this pace the EU and Ukraine will declare war against both Russia and the US. It feels like this entire continent is collectively losing their minds right now.

Absolute. Fucking. Scenes. Lmaoooooo

I guess that is just a result of the online society we live in. People used to meet eachother in places like the gym or the supermarket or wherever normal. Nowadays people get startled if you strike up random convo’s. As long as you are not a total creep about it then it should be fine.

Exactly five years ago covid hit my country. I cannot accept it has been five years already lol. It’s like I’m still sort of waiting for life to get back to normal despite no Covid restrictions being in place for a few years now.

In 2019 I started to break free from some bad habits and I felt like the future was looking bright for me. Going into 2020 I was excited about what might come. And then covid hit and it changed me from a pretty happy and goofy person into someone kinda bitter and anxious. It’s probably not solely covid’s fault but still. And then when it was ‘over’, Ukraine and its financial consequences for Europe hit.

Sometimes I am reminded of the phase in my life in which the Uyghur genocide bullshit was making rounds in the news and I went like: ‘I’m going to never buy Chinese products again!’ which I actually followed up on. I find it amusing to think about how I turned out eventually lol. But at least I actually wanted to do something against it back then, I guess.

I mean I’m not saying you shouldn’t but it really needs some thought for how you will do it otherwise it can be highly inappropriate very quickly.

There are virtually no public bathrooms anywhere here but I do have a subscription to some shitty chain brand gym and I can use that as a public restroom in any city. Dumb as fuck.

Fair enough

I say this because I either dress like I’m about to star in an Italian espresso ad or in an episode of Friends and none of my comrades in the party ever seemed like dressing up a certain way due to ideology.

Who man in picture

It blows my mind how the socdems in my city managed to put forward one of their old politicians who used to be mayor. He has been convicted of fraud and embezzlement when he was the CEO of a football club, among other things. He was facing multiple years in jail but managed to buy off his sentence. Highly corrupt individual.

But apparently socdems have no problem with that.

Thirteen years this shit stain shows up in my face as ‘my’ president. Scandal after scandal happened. I figured we’d finally be done with him and he would fuck off to some corporate job somewhere. But nope, he becomes head of NATO during an extremely crucial time.

20% of young people in Germany have no problem with another genocide happening to ensure a white ethnostate and some other 50 odd % are just hiding it in a better way
