Wealth is actually being redistributed quite a bit in Russia right now. The oligarchs are paying for the war and “the people” are getting much higher wages either in the military or because of labor shortages.
It’s not great, what with all the death and destruction. But Russians gini coefficient is going down fast.
Gen z is left of millennials, at least in the US, but not as far left as millennials were at the same age.
I sympathise with anarchism so I wouldn’t vote for marxists or a party that sucks up to dictators.
Millennials are moving right, we are the largest voting gen and trump just won a trifecta.
Not as far right as boomers at the same age, but it happens to us too.
Learning Spanish thoroughly would be difficult, but I think I could get to conversational with a couple months effort. Taking tests is my one great talent. Tests don’t scare me. History? Government? Society? I will learn that in a week if I can read the material I will be tested on.
Finding work scares me. I can’t live outside the country for my current job.
Canadas housing situation is worse than the US I thought, at least in the places most people live.
There is serious violence, but CA has law enforcement in place with experience dealing with the Cartels. The power they weild in Mexican Government would be outweighed by the 30% increase in population and the doubling of the size of the Mexican Economy.
Of course the violence that would be required to result in CA leaving the union might result in destruction of that economy. Hard to say.
Canadian Air Force?
Canada is certainly on my list of hopeful places.
If I lived in a parlimentary democracy I would vote for the farthest left party I could find.
As a trans woman I might need somewhere to go and I desperately hope that when that day comes someone like you is in charge if deciding if I get to stay.
It’s changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.
I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.
Nothing will fundamentally change until people are skipping meals. Not, like, a few people, more than half the people.
The boomers are shit. Because they are old and the elderly are generally shit.
It’s not that they were born shit or taught to be shit, it’s that people with money, greedy, low empathy people, live longer on average.
So the empathetic people doing their thing die off over time and leave the conservative assholes alive and voting.
Also the boomers were exposed to leaded gasoline for the longest period of time.
Gen X wasn’t shit but they are turning to shit because they are getting older and wealthier. Millennials will be the same. There used to be a theory that millennials would break the trend and stay leftists but it was just delayed and as they buy houses and build wealth they are shifting right.
Every generation turns to shit because they get old and the poor die off and the remainder vote to hoard their wealth and fuck the younger generation.
This will keep going until something changes at the level of great. Depression or WW2. A pandemic 20x as bad as COVID might do it. Actual nuclear war. Complete economic breakdown, something that destroys the wealth of everyone and resets the board. Maybe birthrate collapse will do it.
Short of that we will keep having the same fights every decade.
If PTSD sets in, the teabagging will increase.
Separating Europe and Asia is just racism really.
I don’t see anything weird about this. Sounds like parenting.
