RE: End of the Week Chatter #2 | YouTube, working and Ukrainian Easter

in #life7 years ago

After five years I'm already tired of thinking about these things. I've stopped following the news three years ago 'cause it wasn't making my life any better and if something really important happened I'd find out about it one way or another.
I'm sure there are many Ukrainians who'll be happy to answer your questions.

Sort:  

Not so much, most dont want anything to do with it.

Which i find odd in the country that holds one of the greatest anarchists that ever lived as a native son.
I guess the soviets did a good job of killing the dissenters, both physically and mentally.

They havent gotten us all, yet.
Some of us still tell the stories of the old heroes that fought for freedom from rule by force.

I will let you go back to your cats, now.
Thanks for your time.

Its probably because your questions are off topic so people get suspicious and think that you're Russian troll. Also nationalism has always been bigger in Ukraine than anarchism so I think the soviets didn't even had to do anything to deter people from these ideas. At least that's what it's like in the Western Ukraine where I'm from.

Its true, i tend to be kinda blunt, but its just me being straight forward.

Lots of nationalists in the world, for sure.

I guess now its private crapitalism there rather than state crapitalism?

The state has the private business in a chokehold so I wouldn't say that we have private capitalism here.

I guess that is true in the united snakes, too.
We are slaves of those that rule by force.

Do the skools there prepare you to work, or are they a waste of time, too?

A complete waste of time. I regret every minute of my higher education.

Its the same here.
12 years of skool and they can barely read, 4 more years of college and they still cant do anything but follow directions, maybe, and they have to go through more training for any job they get.
Then they pay student loans for 20 or 30 years and have to live at home with mom and/or dad.

Its horrible what those in control have done to the world.
