A lot of people find themselves caught in a life where they feel they have no options and no hope for the future. Likewise, a lot of people want to help Rojava, but don't really want to risk their lives in the YPG.
Well, there's an option for all of you out there: Come to Denmark!
If you come here and live and work for at least 30 hours a week for two years straight and pay taxes, you can have a free education; why is this important?
Well, more so than warriors, Rojava needs organic farmers, since they have abandonned chemical fertilizers
How are you going to do anything but organic farming?
Don't shit on something just because hippies like it.
Blake Roberts
What kind of physical fitness levels are going to be required?
Isaiah Garcia
For what? There's no fitness bar for working as a farmer although it is physically challenging work (especially in spring) Fighting in the YPG requires a little more though.
I wouldn't mind going if there was actually a way to go there.
John Foster
dude everything are chems. this whole organic farming thing is a meme because you want to select for strains of your crops that are the most robust, and use pesticides so you're not fucked
Anthony Cooper
Wouldn't it be easier to find a way to make or import fertilizer in the next 3 years than train tons of people in organic farming?
Denmark doesn't have full employment, what makes me more likely as an immigrant to find work than the 4% of the labor force who are trying but unable to find work at the moment?
Am i supposed to use some kind of secret danish job tree that danish people don't know about but is easily accessible to people from the other side of the planet?
Robert Torres
If you are in Eu country you can move to Denmark without any problem. I can legally be just 3 months per year in Denmark if I have labor visa
Joseph Jackson
Said the leftcom, who considers historical reenactment theater "politics"
Do you live inside or outside the EU? If you live in the anglophone world, it's even easier to get in.
How? Are they going to magic a chemical factory into existance? They do not have the resources to make chemical fertilizers, they want to converty to green agriculture anyways, and they need food right now.
It has less unemployment than most other places, meaning that finding a job, even if it's a shitty one, is fairly easy. Also, our de facto minimum wages are really high, so you can live relatively comfortably even with a "bad" job.
What a surprise, a left com being ultra-leftist. "Politically Impotent!" cries the ideology that hasn't been relevant since the Spartacist Uprising.
Logan Bennett
No, they would have to build one. They would have to acquire those resources or establish some kind of trade.
If they need food right now then a 3 year plan for organic farming training is irrelevant, those 3 years could see them train their own farmers, establish trade or find a fertilizer they can produce.
If i wasn't considering suicide yesterday i would probably consider moving to denmark or somewhere, but i cannot begin to see how this plan will solve Rojava's issues in a reasonable timeframe.
Jayden Cooper
This is a nice way to describe a slurry vat. Those things stink.
Hunter Fisher
Is the Kalo program in english?
Easton Rogers
Then you'd have to apply for a visa
It all looks a little complicated for people living outside the EU, but it looks like you'll have to apply both for a residential visum and a labour visum, after which permanent residence or citizenship can be attained.
You you want me to research more?
And they need highly educated chemical engineers too. Rojava does not have neither the industrial nor the intellectual background for that. For better or worse, they're stuck with organic farmining
in the meanwhile, the best education in organic farming is in Denmark.
They have an international programme, it would seem, but I recommend that you learn Danish. If you take a look at the english page, you can probably find out for yourself.
Julian James
I'm sorry but i think they have a better chance of getting those engineers or finding a way to get support or trade for fertilizer than they are a sufficient number of organic farmers in that timeframe. Yes, they cannot teach them themselves but they can draw them in the same way they would draw in these organic farming teachers.
Aaron Johnson
courses are in danish or in English ?
Nathaniel Reyes
...
Logan Howard
How? They're not drawing in organic teachers either if people like us go, and which do you think are more inclined to join a LibSoc revolution: Farmers or people with a p.Hd?
It appears they have both, but I would recommend learning danish, as it's a boarding school.
Either way, it's a way to go somewhere with a decent social security net.
Ethan Gutierrez
One more thing
YOU CAN ALSO APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA AND GO TO THE SCHOOL WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING PRIOR TO THAT, BUT IN THAT CASE IT COSTS ABOUT $100-120 A WEEK
Nolan Lee
Well, I live in northern europe too, so social security is fine at home :^)
Kevin Stewart
Farmers are generally very community and family oriented people because of the way their work is done. I find it much harder to believe a farmer would uproot himself than an engineer, engineers LOVE devoting themselves to ideologies almost as much as they love suicide bombing.
Noah Butler
What is up with this meme?
Connor Anderson
It doesn't make you a dirty pig person to have some attachment to other human beings. I just think its far more likely for people with large ties to their local community to support revolutionary efforts at home rather than abroad because they want to maintain those ties to their family and friends.
Sebastian Perez
...
Josiah Walker
That's the mark of a shit-tier engineer, that.
Bentley Foster
Do the Kurds actually WANT mass numbers of Western millennials coming in to farm?
Isaiah Perry
if they're competent at it, why not.
Elijah Gray
They need skilled labour and other specialists more so than soldiers.
So
yeah.
Elijah Howard
Horribly offtopic but fuck it. If depression is what's getting to you, look into ketamine. It might just save your life.
Hudson Flores
Mcfuckingkillyourself
Evan Walker
Did you even read his article? Rojava isn't socialist and has made little serious attempt establishing it. Sure, it's the best thing to happen in the region, but it isn't a revolution in a meaningful sense.
Elijah Sanchez
holy shit. this is a really good idea. too bad rojava wont survive for another 3 years
Gavin Scott
...
Luke Harris
I'm searching for tuition costs and whatnot, and it seems the damn thing's completely free for EU citizens or permanent residents, is that right? I assume the 30 hour/week requirement is part of permanent residence.
Anyway, the school's fucking minuscule. How do they pick students? Surely there's too much demand considering how damn many people can get it for free.
William Harris
Well, there are no tuition costs. It's Denmark. Lodging and food and books come at a price though and this is where the student salary comes in. It doesn't seem that there are any real requirements, which makes sense since the agricultural sector is slowly dying within Denmark and they're desperate for people.
You will need some kind of primary education though.
Zachary Brown
Honestly, fuck Rojava. They are not my Comrades.
Jonathan Lewis
...
Samuel Clark
will do this if something happens to my family and idgaf about getting shot by isis
Camden Anderson
OP, do you know anyone involved in Rojava solidarity stuff, boots on ground? I have a postgraduate qualification in crop diseases and how to protect farms from insects and shit, is something like that remotely of use?
The gif you posted is better antidepressant than any medicine ever could be.
Gavin Gonzalez
Did you even read mine? 80% of Rojava's economy is collectivized.
Chase Baker
So what you sayin' is to steal from other communities. Come to Denmark, exploit the education system and then take said knowledge and move back to Rojava. The reason why we have free education in Denmark is because we believe in those who get educated will cover the expenses later by paying taxes to the system once they have the required ability and knowledge to do so.
The cause is noble, but there must be at better way.
William Myers
Would be interested just to get away from my hellhole. Is speaking English enough?
Isaac Cook
Now ketamine will be even more restricted. That treatment would impede on the profit the drug companies that rely on that slow treatment.
Isaiah Richardson
...
Elijah Jenkins
Is this actually true? Most liberal democracies have free education because an educated population is necessary for democracy to function, not because of "muh investment in the future".
Easton Miller
Sorry I have a hard time to see how a community is a bad thing. Everybody contribute and everybody get something. Therefore if you come into said community take something and give to another community I can not see how such is fair.
Sure you can ague we should all set for an global community and such I can only agree on. But I still do not think this is the best way to achieve it.
It's a bit of both, our government and people have quite the porky mindset. A lot of Danish people say they care for democracy and politics, but at the end of the day that couldn't be less true frankly. As long as the beer is cheap and welfare is free, they do not care for quality of said.
Brody Cooper
Can't blame them. Beer is getting more expensive here every year.
Easton Green
A community isn't bad per-se. It's just a reflection to our biological need to socialization and our natural tendency of forming groups. Your apparent loyalty and disgust towards other people using it after working for two years and being "a good citizen" is the spook of your statement.
Asher Sanders
*likes and re-tweets u*
Carson Fisher
Now you are assuming more of me than I've expressed. I have no disgust towards "other people", I don't like the leeching mentality that OP is proposing.
Tyler Green
I know. That's why I said "apparent". I wasn't sure if I was understanding your arguments correctly, so I posed that as my take on what you said, and not what I thought you were.
Ian Hill
Don't you think that if worked 30 hours a week for two years straight, you earned your right to enjoy the advantages the society gives to you? Like , clearly isn't about "investment into the future". Porky, by definition, don't care about the future, only about the bottom-line
Bentley Rogers
Eurocommunism sounds a lot better than I was led to believe. Fuck you guys, I'm becoming a class traitor.
As far as economics go, that is about as benevolent as it gets. Income redistribution on an international scale.
I agree, there is a better way, but it's not like we had success popularizing ancom among the peoples of the Earth.
Ryder Smith
No buddy, you have to work 30 hours a week for two years and pay taxes first. That's hardly "leeching".
Luis Gonzalez
Dunno how involved you are with this, but anyway, I have a BEng in electrical engineering. Trouble is, I have literally zero work experience in the field, which also means my theoretical knowledge is rusty. Would I have any value or would I be a glorified cabling installer?
Jeremiah Young
Do you mean to Rojava? I know that they're desperate for specialized labour right now. So yeah, you might turn out to be a glorified cabling installer, but even that would be very useful to there guys.
Hudson Anderson
I could easily remember what I learned by skimming some textbooks, but I couldn't bring any significant amount of them with me. I could look them up on the internet, but I don't know how accessible it is there.
Easton Myers
Couldn't you maybe scan a lot of it and save it as PDFs and then bring a laptop? I am pretty sure you could be helpful in building industry.
Christopher Flores
Scanning a significant amount wouldn't be viable. But anyway I could just try to pirate them now and bring in a laptop, and I feel stupid for not thinking about it.
Adrian Wilson
Bump
Nathan Sanchez
Wouldn't an e-reader or fondleslab work better for that? You'd be able to grab a solar panel and charge them that way.
Connor Cruz
It's a good idea, but Kurdistan is not *that* third-world. They have electricity.
