The Zero Euro is a souvenir banknote with authorized printing by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is on queue to be a popular in 2017 banknote collector markets. It’s origins stem from France in 2015 after Richard Faille, creator of popular French currency souvenirs, decided to create euros that promote tourism. The banknotes are printed at a private fiduciary facility and they share many of the same characteristics of a real Euro except that they are marked as “0”, hence the name, and are tested to ensure they cannot enter circulation as legitimate financial currency. The front of all zero euros is the same and it includes a white zero followed by the Euro sign to denominate no financial value. Then (from left to right) Brandenburg Gate, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, Sagrada Familia, Manneken Pis and the Mona Lisa.

What is Matrix?
Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at
genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.How do I join the space?
(If you already have a Matrix account, skip to step 3)
- Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on your device.
- Create an account in the client. You can select
genzedong.xyzas your homeserver here; if you choose the defaultmatrix.org, you'll need to enter an email address. If it doesn't work on your client, try using Element Web for registration.- Log in.
- If you have a Lemmygrad account with a solid posting history (moderator discretion applies), post your username in
#vetting-answers-encrypted:genzedong.xyzor#vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz(make sure that your Lemmygrad account has your Matrix account listed in your profile), or request an invite on Lemmygrad by commenting or PMing your Matrix account name; otherwise, read the vetting questions in#vetting-questions:genzedong.xyzand answer them in either of the two aforementioned rooms. (These instructions are also available in#welcome:genzedong.xyz)
Of course comrades from Hexbear can join too, you can make an account on any homeserver you wish and join! Basically a group chat with communists. There's also a channel for Technology, Linux, learning Spanish, etc.
Dictatorship is when bad country, democratic is when good western country
Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression
Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.
Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions
The projection lol
and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.
As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer "You've got a good propaganda machine!", the KGB officer replies "Well, yours is unbeatable."
The CIA agent responds with "What propaganda? In the West we don't have propaganda."
what happened to the marketplace of ideas
A lack of international observers, the suspension of some foreign broadcasts, and the authorities’ decision to cut internet service and impose a night-time curfew nationwide after the poll had raised concerns about the transparency of the electoral process.
If successful, the coup would represent the eighth in west and central Africa since 2020. Coups in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Chad and Niger have all undermined democratic progress.
The Guardian is coping here
In Ukraine, most likely, there will be an additional conscription into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov
The meat grinder goes on
Trying to blame their proxy state instead of the US to redirect blame
Tech workers being labor aristocracy mostly making them much more reactionary. And they're enthusiastic about some magic tech fixing the world only if we accept our Sillicon Valley overlords and such.
Probably they also are terminally online due to their jobs, thus making them more exposed to all kinds of propaganda on the Western internet.
The amount of times I've heard this rhetoric coupled with "the animals are better than us! We should let them govern the planet instead! They're vastly superior to us murderous beings" is baffling
There's a risk [...] that Zelenskiy will be forced into negotiations
Oh well, quite mask off
