What a stupid time to have a degree in International Relations.

[tom_ofb@23.social]

@ahalam can't say anything about the relevancy of the degree, but think right now you can go ask a toad in the swamp about the state of international relations in 6 months and get no worse answers than asking an expert in it. Nothing is sacred anymore and common sense is lying in bed with a bad fever.

The point of a gun, thats the current modus for diplomacy.

@evacide this was peak of humour in Ukraine 2022

[evacide@hachyderm.io]

@gonzo_askold Ukrainian humor is the darkest substance known to man. I respect it.

@evacide I don’t know. Oolon Colluphid did pretty well with a series of “I told ya so” books.

@xs4me2 @evacide And it’s failing miserably - yet they keep trying.

@ahalam @evacide It's more about being intricately aware and educated in how profoundly we are fucked.

(And the less than optimistic mental state that comed from this awareness)

@evacide
What's the right time to get it?

[tarah@infosec.exchange]

@evacide you’re telling me.

[porcus@hostux.social]

@evacide I did a screenshot of that one, and sticked it on our wall at the office. As usual, you're spot-on.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@evacide I think otherwise. It's the perfect in these times to have a degree in International Relations, since you can test theories against complex practical oddities. And sure deduce and understand more than we ordinary people can.

[tayfonay@beige.party]

@evacide I see we’re on the same page

[ralphbassfeld@swiss.social]

@evacide I agree in the sense you understand what is going on from multiple view points and also know what is going wrong and how it could get worse and why, and that we’re ruled by idiots.

@evacide here I am!

@evacide My partner right now finishing her masters degree in international relations and peace research...

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@evacide Damn, I wonder if any global relations degrees are gonna go extinct after the Orange Cockwomble dies and democracy is restored in America, because no self-respecting country would want to globally relate to the Fascist States in any way after this nonsense.

[kimlockhartga@beige.party]

@evacide my sociology degree can go in the bin, too. My conclusions about group dynamics are not academic anymore.
