    i was hired for 3 days and now i already have to send shit back… IN TRAINING. THEY FIRED ME IN TRAINING. it’s a good day today

    i feel like total shit, i’ve been lied to from the start and now my anxiety levels are going haywire

    this was supposed to be my first job, this was the only company (a subcontractor actually) that actually gave a shit to the point of calling me, the rest ghosted me or just straight up told me to fuck off

    this is a job where i had to lie all the time, down to my name and origin (or a lack thereof), down to “i have an offer just for you, a loyalty offer” and shit. this is a job where i had to put up with customers that will swear their asses off because someone else lied to them and i am supposed to ignore them. i can’t fucking do any of that

    tomorrow i will go to uni and shit, i really need rest to compensate for all those 3 days and shit

    Create decades worth of inequality among migrants, causing them to live in poverty 9 times out of 10

    Have one of the biggest ports in Europe in your country

    Do absolutely nothing about said inequality

    Have your population do copious amounts of drugs themselves

    Be mad at migrants when eventually crime explodes

    There have been shootings from AK wielding dudes over here for four days in a row now and the only thing people talk about in this situation is the color of their skin. Not drugs. Not poverty resulting in crime. Nope.

    Oh no, you can’t tax big corporations here, they’ll leave and take all their property with them.

    Their property: all intellectual, 1 office with some laptops

      “if you lose the yubikey you have to pay 25 euro upfront and also a bit of your salary if a monitor that was already scratched when you got it is scratched so fuck you”

      my “job” was like this, a work from home nightmare… fucking verizon

    Completely forgot to actually read Varoufakis’s “technofeudalism” and now I’m struck by Marxists starting to fall for that obvious bit of Eurocommunist revisionism too (I refer specifically to RevLeft Radio). Disappointing but not unexpected from the North.

    Liberal “democracy” requires a constant forgetfulness and inability to maintain and collect data in order to portray itself as “effective”. From the nonsense “lifted out of poverty” myth, to nonsense measures such as the dollar-based poverty line, one is often restrained from wondering why isn’t the data better, like how many people have access to food, shelter and work.

    How many homeless people are there in the city? The competent authorities certainly have enough of a budget to identify and catalogue almost every person living on the street. And it’s clearly in the best interests of all (except landlords) that every homeless person is known, their conditions understood. Yet that data is unknowable because, as Mao once put it, to investigate a problem is to solve it.

        It’s DKP, not KPD. KPD was banned during the cold war.

        Unfortunately DKP will not be on the ballot this time . I voted for them last election but this time the only communist parties on the ballot are going to be MLPD and SGP, both not particularly great choices and sort of a waste of a vote.

        Might just have to go with Linke as the least bad option. Although i hate how much they’ve been capitulating to the establishment on the Ukraine issue (and Palestine, but that’s a given in German politics). BSW is better on the war and they’re more anti-establishment but they have a lot of other problematic rhetoric that really kind of puts me off. And BSW is probably going to do better in the elections than Die Linke.

        Bottom line, there are no really good electoral choices if you’re an anti-imperialist in Germany right now. I guess BSW is the closest thing (on the ballot) to an actual anti-war party, but it’s hard to ignore their dumb as shit stances on some of the cultural issues…

        All i know is Merz is a fucking psycho and unfortunately it looks like he’s going to be the next chancellor, and worse still, he’s probably going to get there by bringing those lunatic Greens into a coalition who are going to push him even harder to escalate to insane levels of warmongering against Russia.

        And CDU absolutely will capitulate to the AfD on immigration. And they will ramp up the neoliberalism even more. And the Greens will make sure that the coalition government will be totally subservient to the US on every geopolitical issue. Basically we’re headed for the absolute worst case scenario here in Germany, there’s just no other way of putting it.

        The only ray of hope i have is looking forward to how much all of these sick freaks will lose their shit when Russia wins in Ukraine, which at this point is only a matter of time.

            Perhaps on foreign policy, but other than that you have the hardline anti-immigration stance in addition to socially conservative policies and subtle yet no-so-subtle climate denialism.

            I don’t know what to make of this election. I’m hoping more German members here expand on this.

              Again, you asked an opinion from a foreigner. From reading Wikipedia they looked like the least horrible party. A better choice would be to not wasfe your time on sham elections

    Our party leader gave a webinar today about the new government’s plans and what they will mean for the population. I thought it was very informative and I admired how he gave it himself. Imagine Joe fucking Biden giving a webinar to Democrat members himself. On a Tuesday evening.

    CW: suicide

    Sadly a very active member of our party took her own life. Even though I did not know her very wel personally I am very shocked. We chatted a few times during party actions. Keep checking on each other, comrades.___

    Just had another therapy session.

    I feel good, as I usually do, after I have one.

    I feel that this therapist is the best therapist I’ve ever had.

    The year has started off both good and bad. Family tragedy happened and my mental health seems to have taken a hit. At the same time I’m staying really disciplined when it comes to my workout regime. I am also nearing half a year sober. At least for the last few days the sun has been out instead of the constant grey sky that has been here for months.

    A thought I had for dealing with liberals who are butt hurt over the closure of USAID: “USAID is the geopolitical equivalent of a person who volunteers at a soup kitchen to find victims for sexual assault”
