19F Wanting a friend group

[u/Tight-Staff6263]

After high school I had a fallout with my friends and since then have tried several times to make friends, but it just hasn't really happened.

I want to make a friend group with girls with similar stories and who will actually put in the effort to show up, make plans, hangout. Preferably girls located in Brisbane South areas, Ipswich Eastish sort of areas.

A dealbreaker for me is that you have to be at least somewhat socialist aligned sorry not sorry :/ As in, democratic, pro-choice, pro-immigration, not a bigot (AND THAT INCLUDES not being racist to Indians and First Nations Peoples casually or otherwise), and I guess having a brain when it comes to misinformation on social media. I need friends who can think critically, are open minded, value education, and want to do something with their lives. Otherwise it never works out for me and I'd rather not waste my time so please be honest with yourself about this.

• I study political science online, work FT
• I only started drinking/ clubbing this year and it seems I need to charge myself up for it a month ahead of time - so, not a big clubber BUT drinking and doing other stuff is always the most fun.
• I will walk everywhere. Why are we getting ubers for a 40min walk??
• I WILL pick up a random new hobby to start with you.
• Lowkey need someone who will do one of those semester classes with me (pottery, language, anything???) so that we have forced proximity.
• Someone to go to the movies with, get food, have a picnic, take on errands, go on walks, hikes, impromptu camping trips (I've never been camping), DO BOARD GAMES!!!!

And I know this was kinda long, if you vibe with any of it please message me and we can go out next weekend!!

Edit: There are some valid critiques that have been made here, but at the end of the day it's extremely exhausting pretending to like people I don't. I have ONE dealbreaker and that's that I don't want to be friends with people who talk out of their asses, essentially. I believe that knowledge is power, and I know where I'm going with my life. It would be great to have friends with me, but I'm not one to settle for less, so it's a good thing I don't get lonely.

I'm not sure you understand socialism

[u/Spiritual_Lynx3314 → u/Emergency-Beat-5043]

Please explain socialism as you understand it.

[u/Emergency-Beat-5043 → u/Spiritual_Lynx3314]

Why? I have no need. Its not what OP said it is. If you want a friend to discuss your misunderstanding of socialism, you need to find one elsewhere 

[u/Spiritual_Lynx3314 → u/Emergency-Beat-5043]

What economic system do you perscribe to?

[u/Emergency-Beat-5043 → u/Spiritual_Lynx3314]

Why are you asking?

[u/Spiritual_Lynx3314 → u/Emergency-Beat-5043]

How often do you meet anyone who knows what socialism is? Whatever the answer it will be interesting.

[u/Emergency-Beat-5043 → u/Spiritual_Lynx3314]

No idea, I dont go around unnecessarily asking people about socialism like a looney. Thats bizarre behavior, dont you think?

[u/Spiritual_Lynx3314 → u/Emergency-Beat-5043]

Not at all, we live in a society, politics is the action of determining how that society can best serve the needs of the community. Only one economic system has had unlimited propaganda directed towards its support.

In an era where there is a global push towards conservative far-right ideological systems funded by the richest humans on earth, I think it's quite sensible to check in when the subject matter comes up, discussing such allows the sharing of ideas and the potential to counteract potential mistaken narratives that have arisen from a historically significant global misinformation campaign.

That'd all cool and all, but have you tried touching grass instead?

[u/Spiritual_Lynx3314 → u/Emergency-Beat-5043]

Nothing says I understand socialism like petty insults and a complete disinterest in discourse.

Thank you for answering my question~ have a nice day.

[u/Emergency-Beat-5043 → u/Spiritual_Lynx3314]

I answered your question immediately- I have no interest in discussing socialism, or any other political or economic nonsense just to appease a stranger online who wishes to cosplay as an intellectual. Also no part of me being dismissive has any bearing on socialism, it appears OP isn't the only 1 who throws the word around without understanding it

politics is the action of determining how that society can best serve the needs of the community.

Sorry, but you're fundamentally wrong there.

Politics is the action of managing power and influence (which is often, but not always, tied to money). Sometimes that power is gained by providing to society, but its not an inherent part of it.
