    Or put another way, a nation exercising its own rightful sovereignty to fight off an invader is portrayed as little more than Beach Blanket Bingo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Blanket_Bingo in the eyes of your article's writer and you agree? Shameful.

    It may not be "choosing masters". It may be choosing their own nation's course. Why is it that so many "activists" refuse to grant the right of self-direction to the people they claim to rescue?

    At the #coin-laundry

    Not too many people this morning, but it includes a couple that took about ⅓ of the facility's wash capacity.

    Also, there are a couple of machines that have been "out of order" for multiple weeks. This is the "good" laundromat that gets cleaning and maintenance.

    I saw some other articles implying that gold and silver were also involved in causing the panic and its following 4-6 year depression.

    1. Financial Panic of 1873
      from U.S. Department of the Treasury
      The Panic of 1873 After the Civil War, the US banking system grew rapidly and seemed to be set on solid ground. But the country was hit by many banking crises. One of the worst happened in 1873 – during the time of the Freedman’s Bank. The panic started with a problem in Europe, when the stock market crashed. Investors began to sell off the investments they had in American projects, particularly railroads. Back in those days, railroads were a new invention, and companies had been borrowing money to get the cash they needed to build new lines. Railroad companies borrowed using bonds, which were debt securities specifying how much a company was borrowing and how much interest it would pay. When Europeans started selling their railroad bonds, there were soon more bonds for sale than anyone wanted. Railroad companies could no longer find anyone who would lend them cash. Many railroads went bankrupt. One of the biggest banks in New York City was Jay Cooke & Company. It had invested a lot of money in the railroads, and when the railroads started having problems, Jay Cooke & Company went bankrupt. When people saw that such a big bank failed, they began to run to their banks, demanding all of their money back. The panic spread to banks in Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and Georgia, as well as to banks in the Midwest, including those in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. Nationwide, at least 100 banks failed. Next: Freedman's Bank and Family Histories

    @lxo And the other issue with this narrative is that Eastern European countries voluntarily sought admission to the EU and in some cases NATO. At the time, I thought NATO should have been abolished after the USSR broke up, but I admit that I was wrong.

    Why did those countries, after spending over 45 years forcibly integrated with the social / political / economic / military aims of #Russia suddenly flee into the EU's and NATO's embraces? Could they have a clearer view of what awaited them if they did not join than world socialist organizations do?

    I urge you to read beyond those groups' opinion pieces. Talk to people from Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Moldava, Ukraine ... it is shocking how anti-Russian they are, and how much their views on this war disagree with groups like Common Dreams and wsws.

    @lxo Euromaidan wasn't a US operation. It was a response to leaders who ignored their country's Orange Revolution a few years earlier. These were popular movements based on turning West ... away from centuries of cultural and physical genocide by their Russian neighbors.

    And this is an example of where extremo-left propaganda and extremo-right propaganda align. Both absolve Russia and Putin of any responsibility. When they expand the active war to Moldova, how will they juggle the facts to blame USA? We all know they will.

    I'm surprised to hear that this was EVER allowed. I know the Supremes try to make the minimum impact with most of their rulings, but in this case, I think every municipality that inflated their profits by doing this should be forced to repay the excess funds with interest.

    @fu Before you do that, you should observe how a particular #Lemmy instance slants. In particular, how its admins & mods slant. The last thing you'd want is to finally persuade people to move from Reddit (or similar sites) to a Lemmy instance and then having moderators destroy your community.

    I can't stand those type of sites, so I never join, but I have seen several people grumbling about losing accounts or being blocked from instances.
