When Europeans steal a country they name themselves after it.
Israelis claim to be "Semites" despite being European
Colonists claim they're "Americans" while reducing real Americans to "Indians"
Boers claim they're "Afrikaners"
Identity theft is a huge part of colonialism.
No one is talking about how insane British careers advice is to new graduates. In what world should a graduate with a first class degree aspire to work in a factory? Why should someone with a masters in science be okay with being a care worker? Let’s be sensible here

england was shitting out hail last week and now it's going to be 35c next week. Yeah okay mate we're just doing whatever arent we just having a right laugh
it’s genuinely horrific to be 18-25 in the uk right now like every week someone i know loses their job for seemingly no reason, the only people i know who have a job right now are people in hospitality/retail and they are all begging for more hours it feels so hopeless
I’ve never had this mentality. Idc that I had to pay for my college, if the next generation got to go for free I would be the first in line to vote for it
everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager
> drive your friends to the airport
> go to their party even when you're tired
> stop cancelling last minute
> host at your place
> support the wins & losses
it's worth every ounce of effort
When you start a new job, forget about trying to be friends with the boss. Make friends with the security guard and the cleaning lady. Those people have power, my friends. Those people know things.
