I'm having an r/collapse induced depression rn. Not helped by the fact the Amazon forests just became CO2 releasing and dozens of ecosystems are just collapsing in Australia.
The future looks bleak. I'll probably live to see the worst of it. Am sad, how do you cope?
Organize, exercise, see a therapist—if you can.
There are also plenty of English teaching jobs in China. Move to China -> marry a Chinese person -> become Chinese -> join the party.
eslcafe.com is the place to look for these jobs. If you apply you can probably be over there in a few weeks.
Also, comrades thinking about suicide: we need every one of you. Don’t do it.
I considered that but i'm not a native english speaker so they won't take meh. Even though I worked as an English-Arabic translator for years ;_; there's a possible certificate you could get that's specifically for teaching others English as a second language but it's thousands of dinars. out of reach.
Then I tried looking for Arabic teaching jobs and also came back empty. Also I feel bad about considering leaving my country and comrades.
I might save up for a few years, wait for my brothers to finish university then we make a run for it.
Are you completely sure they won’t take you? That might be the case in Japan or South Korea but in China they might be more willing to work with you.
I think that if you live in an area with lots of socialist organizing then maybe consider staying. For those of us in the boonies, in a sea of libs and chuds, I really wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to get out before the repression really begins.
I'm willing to give the website you suggested a chance. why not?
Ideally at least one family member makes it to China and settles in case the rest need to join. Preferably not me as I want to help here. I wouldn't say we have lots of socialist organising, it's pretty small all things considered but it's a start , you know?
If you have a Western passport, or at least a degree from an English-language University, you're good to go, especially if you're white-passing.
here's the funniest part, as genetic luck would have it i look strikingly central asian. Like Kazakhs and Uighurs. I don't know how I got these eyes.
No western passport sadly.
Even a degree form the US or UK or Canada should be fine honestly. They can't tell if you're a "native speaker", so either Anglosphere citizenship or degree in English is what most places want.
"University Degree Required"
y'all posting in a PMC nihilist thread
Lol hit me up and I'll photoshop you a near perfect replica english degree from UCLA for this. I've done this twice while vagabonding around Vietnam and Thailand for side $$. I'm sure it's the same for ESL jobs in China. Some primary school in Duoyishu isn't going to call the Board of Regents at UC to confirm you finished a degree 10 years ago.
All you have to do is get the ESL cert which takes a couple days or a couple hours if you freebase adderall like I did.
Sorry, I should have specified that a BA is required. Over a decade ago (jesus) when I started teaching ESL in South Korea, I believe university degrees were not required to teach English in China. Things seem to have changed now.
