I am so disillusioned with the absolute state of Western politics. I don’t know where to begin, I feel like I’m living in ‘They Live’. The constant hypocrisy, the constant slope towards AuthRight. Qanon bullshit everywhere, people becoming increasingly confident of increasingly stupid positions.

My entire family are in a completely different world.

I know I should try to fight for socialism in my own country but I really think the Western mind is beyond help at this point, I’ve felt this way for a long time actually. I’m ML/Dengist.

I’m thinking I want to save for the next 2 years and learn Chinese and find a job in China even if it’s just a translation job, I also have 3D modelling skills, my job prospects here are pretty shit anyway.

Is this doable? How do Chinese people feel about this? Good idea? I would even join PLA if I could.

    If you want to learn Chinese, I can’t recommend Anki enough. It’s a free open-source program which uses spaced-repetition flashcards to memorize whatever you want. Basically all med-students in the U.S. uses this because it makes memorizing things effortless.

    I’ve used multiple language learning apps, but not a single one even comes close to Anki. When I was using it to study german, I learned around 50-100 new words per day, and I was only spending like 30 minutes every day studying. Apps like Duolingo make you feel like you’re learning, but you’re not really making any progress.

    Anki truly changed my life which is why I’m shilling so hard for them.

    Here is the deck which I use to study Chinese. It does cost a bit but it’s high quality. Although here is a free alternative which should work fine too.
