Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
You know how Trump wants to revoke citizenship for migrants? If you don't shill for the state department you're gonna get your citizenship revoked next time libs are in power lmao.
What hubris? They did what they needed to in supporting Ukraine and it's been incredibly successful, given popular sentiment was Ukraine would fall within days of the invasion. Are you just going to ignore Russian hubris here, invading a giant sovereign nation and exposing the weaknesses in your military along the way? Lmao
Given that Russia could always go scorched earth on Ukraine with heavy bombing campaigns like NATO countries do on their targets, they could have made Ukraine "fall" within days if destruction was their aim. We should all be thankful that their approach has been less brutal and barbaric than those of the EU, UK, and US.
We are now seeing small-scale examples of what was always on the table re: the Ukrainian power grid. It could have been gone literally overnight at any point in the last 2+ years.
It has been clear for some time that the RF is resigned to a slow meat grinder for Ukrainian troops, as any real negotiations were taken off the table by Ukraine's real masters in the US and Europe.
Give them a minute they're going down the list of capital E Economic platitudes to say Russia is for realsies gonna collapse tomorrow and China the day after
I think those are Hungarian banknotes.
Somehow I feel this meme wasn't supposed to be literal
I would be pretty Hungary too if all that money doesn't even buy a loaf of bread.
Looks like around 130000 HUF to me, so around 320 EUR and falling steadily.
Then take Turkey
Bruuhh thats hungarian forint and at this point we are also using monopoly money like the russians...
I so wanted to ridicule the ruble, but Forint is like the quarter of the value, still.
UPDATE: It's a bit hard to go through every pixel, but what you can see on the photo is about ~250K HUF which is the equivalent of ~600 euros.
Monopoly money.
It's been this bad before? That's funny too.
It’s been worse before, but news of its impending demise was greatly exaggerated: Biden turned the ruble into rubble. Then it quickly came back. If anything’s been funny, it’s been the US’s/NATO’s overconfidence.
I’m as American as McDonald’s deep fried apple pie.
Very American post, he linked a thing about McDonald's
Are you doubling down on Russiagate conspiracy theories? Are the Russian bots in the room with us now?
That sign can't stop them because libs don't read
What brought you to Lemmy and are you on other social media platforms?
I came here for the same reason that other Redditors did last year, including probably you.

What about the US/NATO response do you find so amusing?
I didn’t say amusing, I said funny, as in weird. And the answer is their hubris.

you realise its gonna crash the moment russia opens its markets again, right?
What markets are you talking about? Its import/export markets? Its stock market?

Hey I noticed that you are also arguing with a Tankie admin and a Russian Z propagandist
please I beg of you to block them and move on or better yet call them out when you see them except on .ml grad or hex of course.
It might seem weird that I'm coming forward like this but I have gone through their post history and their behaviour is at best dogmatic.
In Russia we really like 50 Cent.
Or, as we like to call him, 2.5 Million Rubles.
Hungarians*
"Russians be like
1 Hungarians"?
Pretty sure that’s HUF.
It's gotta be fun to actually make it rain bills in the club, though.
Accurate. But you can't even practically spend it.
