So gefährlich können "Finfluencer" für unsere Demokratie sein
Ganz schnell ganz reich werden – das ist das zweifelhafte Versprechen, mit dem Finanz-Influencer, kurz Finfluencer, werben. Neben oft unbrauchbaren Finanz-Tipps verbreiten sie aber oft auch Desinformation, Demokratiefeindlichkeit und auch Antisemitismus.

TIL that Islam spread to North Africa because a general decided to ignore his orders. The Caliph sent a letter ordering his general not to invade Egypt.

On this day, 23 April 1971, nearly 1,000 US Vietnam War veterans returned their combat medals to the government. Vietnam Veterans Against the War had planned to return the medals in body bags, but authorities erected a fence around the Capitol building so the veterans threw their medals over it. Some of the vets, before tossing their medals, dedicated them to comrades — both from the US and Vietnam — who had died in battle. Others explained who they were and why they were returning them:“Robert Jones, New York, and I symbolically return all Vietnam medals and service medals given me by the power structure that has genocidal policies against non-white peoples of the world.”“My name’s Peter Brannigan, and I’ve got a Purple Heart here, and I hope I get another one fighting these motherfuckers!"More info about this in our podcast episodes 10-11 about GI resistance to the Vietnam war: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e10-the-gi-resistance-in-vietnam-part-1/ To access this hyperlink, click our link in bio then click this photo
