It seems like a repeat of last year: https://thegrayzone.com/2024/05/14/israel-astroturfed-eurovision-vote/
In may 2024: Israeli officials hyped their country’s 5th place Eurovision finish as proof of quiet global grassroots support for their assault on Gaza. Now, they admit they manipulated the results through an international propaganda blitz.
If anyone else was wondering whether they became christian because of what they saw in Europe or if they were already christian before they left for Europe ... It's the latter, this was not an embassy from the Shogunate, but from 3 christian daimyo and the young emissaries their tutor + mentor were Jesuits.
The idea of sending a Japanese embassy to Europe was originally conceived by the Jesuit Alessandro Valignano, and sponsored by the three Kirishitan daimyōs Ōmura Sumitada (1533–1587), Ōtomo Sōrin (1530–1587), and Arima Harunobu (1567–1612). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensh%C5%8D_embassy
The emissaries were also not promptly exiled like the meme implies. Ito Mancio for example was exiled to Nagasaki 2 decades later, after he was caught doing outlawed missionary work.
Joining the order of Jesuit priests in 1608 he engaged in missionary work in northwest Japan but soon was expelled from the local Kokura domain and then moved to the Nakatsu Domain. He was finally exiled to Nagasaki and became a teacher at the seminary. Mancio died of an illness in Nagasaki in 1612, at the age of 43. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C5%8D_Mancio
So yeah, never believe memes.
I feel like this will just push those people into illegality. Cleaning and dish washing in particular is already vulnerable to illegal working conditions and when it becomes harder to hire people legally, then there's guaranteed to be more illegal stuff happening in the future.
Emigrants likely consume less traditional media of their home country than people who still live in their home country, so they are more likely to form their opinion based on the (mis)information that they are fed on social media and hearsay gossip instead. Simion in particular is apparently very good at meme messaging: https://euobserver.com/digital/ar13f54193
Social media memes are very good for spreading populist propaganda like "easy solutions to complex problems" and "hatred of the other", but bad at nuance and informed discussions. They're a populist's wet dream.
The emigrants also do not face the real consequences of their choice. If Simion increases corruption/graft in Romania, hijacks traditional media, breaks education, ... The Romanian not living in Romania, will be far less affected by this than the people living in Romania. Same as what happens with the German Turks who vote for Erdogan: they don't have to build their lives in Turkey, but thanks to the wrecked economy their Euros are worth much more, so they get to live as kings when on vacation in Turkey.
Borrowing 4k for 30 days, results in a total repayment of 4918$. Borrowing 4k and paying it off every 30 days for 12 months, results in a total repayment of 10593$. This doesn't seem very christian.
It might be an attempt to confuse ai recognition, while still retaining some of the benefits of cope cages.
Hopefully someone makes a list of brands and companies that you aren't allowed to boycot according to usa republicans and then publishes that list online on a user friendly website. After all, without that information, people might be unknowingly breaking the law when they start a personal boycot.
My impression of the conflict: The partition of British India into independent India and independent Pakistan was very violent and traumatizing for lots of people, and also left some unsolved border disputes. The independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan was likewise very violent and saw India helping the Bangladeshi people gain independence. Both events are long enough in the past that people could have gotten over the hate by now, except that it gets refreshed with new violence every few years. In the last few decades there's been several terror attacks in India that were sponsored by the Pakistani state. But now India too has a religious fundamentalist government, so maybe they'll be trying to return the favor. Authoritarians love creating external enemies, it helps them stay in control of their own population.
That miners often worked naked or partially naked is definitely true. That children, men and women worked together in mines is also true. If it's legally allowed, then it's going to happen basically.
That there were owners who preferred children/women over men, is probably false. They will have tended to do different jobs in the mines, but I can't recall having ever read anything about a mine that preferred to not employ any male miners.
That the workers worked naked because of owner mandates is also going to be false, because those miners used to be paid according to how much they extracted, so there was no reason for the owner to have such a mandate. Instead it was the workers their own choice: some clothes hinder them in their work (heat, snagging, dust) + the job eats up clothes + they have to pay for their own clothes = they're not going to be wearing many clothes at work.
It's like the saying goes: true beauty is on the inside.
I'd give as start dates for France either the kingdom of Clovis or the treaty of Verdun of 843. 987 was just a dynastic switch: different ruling dynasty, but it was the same country before and after imo.
Welp, I've taught my parents to use the fakespot site before doing a purchase on Amazon. Fakespot was never a perfect tool, but it was easy to use and better than not checking review quality at all.
