i wonder if it’s just me being born in 1986 and raised from there, but i wonder if people have friends in other countries and wonder how they’re able to get and keep jobs in a country without freedom of press, freedom of speech, etc….i was raised to want to do well in school and get a good job after, and people are ruining their chances of getting and keeping whatever jobs are going to be left in the future by being outspoken against the (american) government when it’s best to just be polite or not talk about it at all in a public setting, which of course includes everything public that’s online. maybe everyone else is doing that and it’s just the outspoken people on the internet that are doing that, but i feel like a lot of people are wasting the hard work they’ve put in over the years over what they’ll see later as stupid mistakes, like my generation when we thought we could put stupid drunk photos online and our future employers would never see them. but still, when i was in school there were a lot of people who still cared about getting and keeping a job whether they were going to college or not, and now it seems like the people who otherwise seem like they’re doing everything right are setting themselves up to get caught going against the government when before it was only the weirdos who were willing to give up future job prospects to go that far. who knows what government job contracts or company bailouts or unemployment checks in the future will require. maybe they’ll only keep the people on board who are loyal to the government and pay them as government employees with taxpayer money, for example, or something else like that where it’s best to do the politics and religion thing and just keep silent and be polite and courteous. plan for the best possible future for yourself and try not to let doors close on you over stupid mistakes that are avoidable.
