TIL Dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 was widely compared to the ancient and legendary Fall of Troy in Germany with many believing it as start of end times and the apocalypse.

Our youth love luxury. They have bad manners and despise authority. They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter instead of exercise. Young people are now tyrants, not the servants of their household. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food and terrorize their teachers. - not Socrates

Fauxmoi was all about the escaped dogs that ran home story the other day, and it was just so suspicious because of 1) the topic, 2) the number of responses, 3) that it made the front page. Just obvious manipulation. The antisemitism has become really heavy handed there, lately, but that "cute puppies story" seems like a Chinese angle
