Ive heard theres a lot of bigotry in ml spaces, particularly against women and lgbtq+. So i think sharing your experiences would allow us to learn from them. Im pretty sure this is a safe space, at least i hope so lol.

Edit: I apoligize for giving little to no profundization.(im not used to this reddit like social media, i only use discord)

I mostly asked this because i was thinking about joining Communist Party of Spain and i had heard concerning things about other communist poarties in the imperial core like the yankee one, and the british one. And i also saw this short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/poc6t6qO1VM and i was really worried about it.

Anyways thanks for answering and im glad the responses were so reassuring.

    I was out of work for a while but I managed to find something that actually feels good to do and gets me skills that are usable in both civilian life and during any sort of revolution or any other situation to be honest.

        I think it is but the job Is also pretty stressful as a baseline plus since I just got into it I am at a pretty shitty company but the actual field is something I like and actually lets me help people.

        Specifically i am working in ems in one of the larger cities of my state

        And once i finish school i am gonna go through and get training that is roughly being a basic combat medic and then after a bit I am gonna upgrade to the civilian equivalent of a full combat medic.

            Not the actual position of combat medic but the closest thing someone not in the armed services can get, I am going for my paramedic two but that covers more than traumatic injury so takes longer

            Combat medic covers things like gsw and stabbings and blunt trauma to a higher extent than most people can get

            Realistically I work in normal emergency medicine but I am trying to go in with a focus on traumatic injury especially since I am in an area where shootings and stabbings aren’t uncommon

                I am not that desperate for training, I just work in a city bad enough that shootings/stabbings are very common and we have had some major shit literally happen less than 5 minutes from the base im at

                I may be making it sound worse than it is because all the exposure I get to that city is the medical things so I see alot of things like that

                    Kinda sorta, while on shift yes and we do anywhere from 9 to 72 hours at a time and you live there eating Sleeping and doing whatever in between calls

                    Honestly if it’s less than a 24 I am probably living out of the ambulance

                    That is the standard for ems because it speeds up response

                    When not on the clock I currently live with family but me and my partner are trying to move in together
