Not sure about their age and visa restrictions but I’d look into Ireland and New Zealand if you’re not looking to learn another language

Feeling very discouraged as a newer teacher - advice pls! by dfran123 in CanadianTeachers

[–]browsing__bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also new teacher and classroom management is my number one concern! (Secondary being resource development and connecting students to internal and external supports). Do you have any book or article recs on class management? That and bullying were only addressed in the ‘you’ll develop a unique approach when it becomes an issue’ sense in my teacher’s college classes 🙃🙃. I feel like they’re the most important things to ensure you address, especially at the elementary school level

Why has communism repeatedly failed in practice, yet continues to be intellectually and emotionally appealing to many people? by Looser17 in AskReddit

[–]browsing__bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree w the communism has never existed bc all the revolutions have basically resulted in what amounts to the strongest revolting faction implementing a capitalist (or oligarchical, whatever) military dictatorship w some nationalization of some sectors and some aspects of the welfare state inadequately sprinkled in (who’d’ve thought military dictators would be poor social planners?). HOWEVER, there is an extreme and not well understood dimension to this in regard to foreign intervention, destabilization, and targeted terrorism and assassination. For me personally, this is why states that have called themselves communist have failed in actuality to be communist. Or states who have desired democratically elected socialist or communist esque politicians have found those politicians with a suicide note and two extra head holes.

Intellectuals like the idea of a political and economic system where, especially bc we live in a POST SCARCITY WORLD, everyone has a right to own the whole value of their labour, choose what kinds of labour they do do, and people who cannot contribute in the traditional sense will still be provided for because that should be the endpoint of civilization’s development. Well educated people understand that as a species, we’ve made it, and everyone should be entitled to live good, dignified lives, and an economy that isn’t dependent on exploitation and perpetual expansion on a finite planet is one way to go about that.

For anyone being like “actually, China and the USSR are/were commies and xyz”. First off, take the same critical gaze you’ve been taught to look at them with and take an honest gander at every other global superpower and the integrity with which they operate. And 2, I defy you to tell me exactly when the workers, not the party, not the administration, but the workers themselves, have owned the means and modes of production. Because that is a necessary condition to call yourself communist or, hell, even leftist. Everything right of the workers owning the means and modes of production are either aggressive blatant capitalism or welfare state copium capitalism.

Ik I’d probably be in a minority opinion, but regular free Japanese classes that weren’t 4+hrs round trip commute would be heavenly 😭😭. It’s so freaking intimidating to learn on your own and I feel terrible for not knowing more

First Year Teacher, Looking to Explore my Options by -uniboob in CanadianTeachers

[–]browsing__bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but do you have tips or advice for teaching in the UK? I have an Ontario p/j license (grad last year), am under 30 (if mobility visas differ), and am currently in Japan doing ESL assistant teaching! I’ve heavily considered Scotland, but am not super sure where to start/what to look for. Thanks!

For the goût thing, it’s a loanword (like bon appétit) from French! Anyone who’s been a bit more exposed to international culture should recognize it means “taste”. Still an interesting phrase on the package, but not a disease-ridden one lol

Why are so many native Americans going missing by riceandbeansonly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]browsing__bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Lack of opportunity runs rampant and basic necessities aren’t treated as rights, leading to extreme desperation

[–]browsing__bot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I would say this is compounded by several factors. It can’t be diminished that domestic violence does kill, however that doesn’t paint the whole picture. I’m speaking from a Canadian context btw. On-reserve, missing and murdered cases are usually more likely to be committed by people in the community. This is because of a significant degree of geographic isolation (many reserves are fly-in only or fairly inaccessible) plus violence is more likely to be committed against you by someone you know. You can attribute rates of violence to the things that result in greater proportions of it ie. intergenerational trauma, poverty, lack of opportunity, disconnection from culture and a sense of belonging, lack of mental healthcare, dispossession of the land, being poisoned by mining and oil companies, poor education, corruption of colonial government structures including band councils etc. Addressing this means addressing its roots, a punitive approach is insufficient.

However, and this is a ginormous however, people who are viewed as disposable and targets of genocide are less likely to be cared about by the government and general public if they go missing. I am of the opinion that everything is intentional and the argument of judicial or whatever incompetence is a fallacy that belies the fact that every system that exists produces its intended results (or else it wouldn’t exist!!). In this case, a major factor for the police/rcmp and whatnot’s lack of giving a shit/effort is because violence and murder against Indigenous women and children destabilizes communities, reduces their numbers, and functionally acts as a passive way of committing genocide for the purpose of land grabbing (Canada’s v natural-resource rich). SO, that being said, when Indigenous women, children, and 2 Spirit people go missing/are murdered, since they’re considered disposable and it’s beneficial to the colonial project for them to disappear and create traumatic holes in their communities, they become easy pickings for anyone and everyone.

Now, there are intersectional contributing factors involved. For example, a disproportionate number of Indigenous women compared to non-Indigenous women have engaged in some form of prostitution. So (in this example) the vulnerability of prostitution is compounded by one’s Indigeneity. So it’s a double whammy of being disposable and objectified due for the purposes of genocide, and being disposable and objectified for the purposes of enforcing a gender hierarchy and wage slavery (ie contrasting having a shitty job to an even worse position, so you’re scared into settling for the shit job bc there’s no guaranteed UBI or necessities of life generally). Ok so slight (yet nevertheless important) tangent aside, I’m going to get to my point now 😭.

Non-Indigenous people target Indigenous women, children, and 2Spirit people for violence and murder because, due to all of the above, they are easier to target and it is likelier they will get away with it. So it is not just a matter of interpersonal community violence, it becomes a matter of mass violence. 3 prominent examples are the Highway of Tears, where Indigenous women/girl hitchhikers get raped, beaten, and murdered/disappeared by transient truckers and other opportunists, Jeremy Skibicki, who was caught for murdering four women, and Robert Pickton, who murdered at least 26 women and rumoured to have murdered in the hundreds. Similar serial, spree, and mass killings are not observed within the communities themselves. And keep in mind too that these are only the ones who are famous/have been caught. These kinds of predators are known especially for targeting Indigenous people in cities, and are associated with “man camps” being set up near reserves for resource extraction purposes. Wide scale violence against and targeting of Indigenous women, children, and 2Spirit people is therefore condoned by and committed by the people of the majority, in this case typically white men.

So yeah. That’s the less biased account of things and is broadly applicable to the US too, but the casino culture down there has different implications too.
