Remember when I said I am @Bureaucrat@hexbear.net
That’s right ,I’m Leonid Brezhnev everyone ,sorry for stagnating the Soviet Union and starting the Afghanistan war but at least I stopped those fascists in Czechia ,I’m sorry I just loved those medals 😭
I got stuff ranging from a cool Soviet agitprop t-shirt from the Soviet Union to random medals and pins to some books from Stalin. Nothing big.
Makes me wish items could talk so I could learn how they got to where they are.
I'm pretty sure I have a Soviet coin lying around somewhere, when I'm back home I'll see if I can find it...

I am confused on what you linked has to do with Soviet coins ??
It's like a forum footer, she puts it at the end of every message. Like the Death to Amerika guy.
He has a name, you know.

That he does, lol.
I couldn't find him when I tried to search because, beyond Lemmy search not working great, he actually says "America", not "Amerika".
It's not relevant to Soviet coins, no: it's a very rudimentary form of what's known as a land acknowledgement, which is something a lot of Native activists in the USA, Canada, Australia, etc recommend that people should do while living in or visiting these regions. It's not a practice without controversy, however, mainly because institutions of power are constantly trying to co-opt this practice and turn it into a sort of "ritualized crocodile tears" to exorcise guilt, or even into a sort of "bragging between the lines".
Once I'm back home — where I at least know the land wasn't violently swindled from anyone — I'll stop doing the land acknowledgements, but certainly will continue to push for solidary action with the Dakota in my org, and continue with individual actions towards restoring Dakota sovereignty.

well I am a native of my country ,and we do see ourselves in the native Americans and always have
That's pretty dang cool.
I've got uuuuh.. A coin with beloved children's character Bluey on it?
It's a fun kids show, I think. Wholesome family stuff, good messages.
Also people not from Australia tend to love our slang terms, and it uses quite a few!
I love old Soviet ephemera - I'd collect some if I had space for it/money to spare on it
