I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.
Right now I’m working on my resume. I’m open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.
As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It’s scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.
figure they aren’t down to be anarchists, requires too much forethought and consideration, but ask them if they would be cool to join the communists and fight for the rights of all workers. if they aren’t down for that, fuck em.
honestly, you never know - anyone can be brainwashed and radicalized, it’s not just something that happens to stupid people
i went through a little alt-right phase when i was younger, now i’m an anarchist i want to go back in time and kick my own ass.
people sometimes take strange, winding journeys to get where they’re going!
it’s not about brainwashing. I mean, that’s in there, but that’s not what makes fascists unrecoverable.
it’s about the way they consume information. hitler talked about how you should read books; by basically skimming and cherry picking things that support your world view, and discarding the rest of the ‘junk’. if all information-all of reality-is consumed that way, you cannot fix them, you cannot heal them, except with a bullet.
there is time between “lol i named my account baskedkekhitler1488” and this, but once they reach that point, and once they have done enough horrible shit that they would have to reconcile with being a good person, they cannot be human again.
people can change their minds about stuff, you know?
not that i really advocate for anyone to engage with someone who willingly accepts the label of fascist or approves of fascist ideology
i was really more aiming towards the people who aren’t fascist but got misled by misinformation and propaganda, than outright fascists
So, you went from one delusional worldview to another?
thanks for your comment, and yeah, more or less! it didn’t happen immediately, and i was never extreme far right, but it was definitely a big change.
i’m guessing you don’t really know much about anarchism, outside of movies and such - it’s actually a very coherent, orderly and sensible approach to the world. honestly, by comparison, all other ideologies are delusional, anarchism is the only approach which makes sense.
i’d recommend looking into it a bit more, if you’re interested.
Everyone is the product of their environment, etc.
