Not really. I still need 2 more years to finish my necessary degrees after that I need to go through another 18 months of practical training (which I could fail, this is the part where most people quit).

Meanwhile I just received a job offer for my other dream career. I could start after I finished my bachelor’s degree (which is in a few months).

Yeah I know. Never again my ass.

Cool, desværre taler jeg ikke dansk og måtte oversætte det med DeepL.

Depends on how they behave and how close I am with them. I wouldn’t argue with a stranger who only argues in bad faith but I would argue with a friend or acquaintance who has the heart in the “left” place but believes bullshit about Stalin, China etc…

Basically it’s dependent on the situation and you have to figure out if you gain something from it (read: further our cause by fighting missinformation).

Always remember that we don’t need an entire country of MLs who have read every peace of theory ever conceived but rather a well educated spear tip and the popular support of the masses. Fighting capitalist propaganda can go a long way to achieve that. Even if you can’t change their opinion you might be able to plant seeds in their head that sprout later or at the very least show them that we aren’t bloodthirsty monsters or naive idiots but follow well thought out arguments and observations out of empathy for others and to stop as much human suffering as possible.

Me too (but in German instead of Danish)

Germany also officialy declared that the Holodomor was started intentionally by the Soviets to punish Ukraine.

It’s mental what this country is up to.

Yes. I feel comfortable to deal with some very personal issues here. When I asked for help on the grad I received tons and tons of advice and support. When I made similar posts on Reddit I was either attacked, harassed or ridiculed.

Which isn’t a way to live for me and the reason why I am in this conundrum. Being forced to work a job that will burn me out just to pay the bills will 100% drive me to drugs and/or violence/suicide sooner or later. Something I would like to avoid.

Worst thing is the first job would be great if it wasn’t for capitalism and more and more responsibility being pushed onto less and less people.

Thank you. Follow up question, where can I read them? DC Infinite isn’t available in my country (I also wouldn’t mind putting on a pirat hat)

That might be the case. You seem to know more about Batman than I do so I will do as Mao suggests and shut up before I haven’t researched the topic.

Any Batman comics you could recommend?

That’s the point. You have a Villain who wants something good (stop the destruction of nature) and then pair it with something very evil (genocide). It’s a very common trope in media. It leads to the “Hero” of the story being able to defend the status quo again and again without ever challenging it.

Why wouldn’t they?

Ahh yes the worst of both worlds. Sorry to hear that.

It’s amazing how libs scream genocide deniers at us while actually denying a genocide. It’s always projection.

I don’t think the banning of political opposition parties even got much news cycle traction.

Talked with a lib recently and brought this up. He replied “well it was necessary because the opposition were Russian puppets. They can be unbanned after the war is over.”^___

Seeing Liberals seeth like this fills my heart with joy.

I think it’s better than the opposite being the case.

I like the Bioneer and ShreddedSportsSience (the name sounds cringe I know but he makes great content)

Thanks that is almost what I was looking for. I thought about a text passage though.
