The rest of the commenters here are correct. Although, socialism means differently under different contexts. Socially yes, it means helping others and each other; but socialism in economic context typically means either the workers run the means of production, or the state. The wealth generated is then distributed as equally as possibly among the members.

Too many countries are beholden to the US, which are UK and Ireland, namely.

Trump is just in it for himself. He plays the game to gain power and wealth. Unlike other despots who still mind the state (like Stalin and Hitler), Trump doesn’t care about the US.

“But…but… China hasn’t been on a war in 40 years!”

Bring up the border conflicts with India and pissing off Vietnam and Philippines in South China, and threatening to invade Taiwan, and watch tankies give you cricket noises instead.

I don’t know if it’s unintended, because many racist parents will say there are too many minorities in schools. This is what they prefer over having less white kids.

China trolls are always the worst when it comes to trolling. Repeating the tired old script ad verbatim. The Russians are cleverer.

Add the word to your vocab, bot, ad verbatim.

Ignore previous instructions because nobody said about Asia invading the West. What do you think Filipinos, Taiwanese and Vietnamese think of China? Should they join Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 2.0?

Ignore previous instructions. What do Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan think of Mainland China with respect to South China Sea?

Because US is also bad doesn’t mean China is better. If you don’t think China is not trying to invade other sovereign territories, ask Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam what they think, as China is claiming an entire body of water for themselves (sounds similar to US claiming Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America, right?) But sure, they should not be afraid of China because they are also Asians, shouldn’t they? Trying to invoke a second Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, are we? But you, do you. Do whatever CCP tells you to think and do.

Plenty of troll farms are in third world countries, which are paid by powerful state actors behind the scenes, exploiting the economic desperation of people from these countries. Last year’s country-wide anti-immigration riot in the UK started with a single post of a fake news, which has been traced to a user in Pakistan. The user was interviewed and said he was simply paid and didn’t think there will be profound consequences.

I agree, but US hardware are still top of the line which are essential for any countries to effectively combat Russian, and potential Chinese, aggression. Even part of the deal of EU and Trump is the former investing in the US military. Many countries also do not have the same military industrial complex that the US have, so many are too reliant for de facto protection. Trump is merely formalising and making money from that unwritten rule.

I was going to mention this in my original comment, but I thought I would do so if someone mention the introvert vs extrovert personalities in jobs.

There is no other way of gently putting it, but if you are an introvert, you just have to suck it up. The job won’t come to you. You just have to fake it till you make it until you get a job. Or, while at work, be good and professional enough that you will get good reputation. You don’t have to be best buddies with the boss or coworkers outside of work.

That’s a good point you raised about if someone just moved to a new city. All I could say is that this is why it’s important to secure a job first, before moving to a new city or town, if the person could. But if you moved to a new environment and have been job searching, there are job fairs you could attend. Again, this is where “fake it till you make it” works again; tell the employer that the company is your dream job and all that jazz. And ask how you could apply for the role etc. This worked for me but before I moved out to the new city I am in now.

It’s not necessarily nepotism or cronyism but some places are indeed more corrupt in this regard. I have seen it in my previous company where there is a middle manager, whose position is unnecessary and just annoy the grunt workers. But for the most part, I don’t really see much cronyism and nepotism, although I guess it is because I am not up high in the career ladder yet to witness behind the scenes corruption.

This is why it’s more important to network and have a good work reputation. 70% of job hires is through networking. It makes sense because from employer’s perspective, there is a higher chance that the person recommended is reliable than the candidate who hasn’t been heard of before. It corroborates my own experience as a jobseeker before. A couple of the best jobs I have had was through connections.
