Thank you, no that's no translation tool 😅. You have to thank my middle school teacher for that, she really did a wonderful job. I think I was the worst at English at some point. I've learned a lot since middle school, but one thing that remained, that she taught me, is to have confidence in my skills.

I like the second saying a lot:

2 . When it becomes illegal to own guns, only criminals will own them!

I like it because it is such a simple to understand idea, yet people will argue against it. Very sound logic.

I am indeed due to graduate in September, I'll have a degree in computer science. I always liked playing with both social sciences and exact sciences, and I find that programming gives me the opportunity to do both.

I became familiar with "Critical Theory" quite recently. I knew about it and I knew about this movement that explained how everything wrong in society is just a product of those power structures.

I called that "social justice" until a few days ago when I learned about Critical Theory which is the root of all this.

As it appears to me, this ideology is not just toxic, it's dangerous. As you've said yourself: freedom+responsability=liberty, yet this ideology seeks to destroy the idea of responsability.

Suddenly it's not your fault that you made poor choices in life because there are bigger forces at play here, there are "power structures" which you can blame so you never have to take any responsibility at all.

It's never me. It's always them. There's always someone to blame for your unhappiness, your failures, etc. With this "Critical Theory" there's always a scapegoat.

It's sad to see how much this way of thinking has penetrated the minds of young people. For example, a couple of weeks ago during the George Floyd protests I was amazed to see how violence sweeped over Europe.

Even if the US had a problem with racist policemen, why do you as an European have to be violent with an European cop? I even saw some people here in Romania talking and protesting against racism and black people discrimination. Most Romanians have never seen a black person in real life, yet we somehow feel like it's our duty as white people to speak against this injustice.

We are all caught up in this victim mentality where it's always us versus them and instead of adapting to society we need to bend it around ourselves, we force it to accept us.
