People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.

There’s more information about the protests on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Georgian_protests

Basically they’re protesting due to election fraud, democratic backsliding and protesting against pro-Russia policies, they want to be aligned with the EU.

    this shit is happening worldwide. clueless and politically illiterate folks do “the protest thing” because at some point, somewhere, like e.g. in ##way_more_complex_scenario_with_totally_different_actors## it worked! so if we persist, it’s bound to happen here, too, nay?

    fucking nay.

    a protest thing that doesn’t have the implied threat of “…or else” is just a hang. and those don’t produce anything of importance. see every “peaceful” bullshit protest walk or whatever else impotent, poseur bullshit those ignorant fucks use to dull the blade of revolt.
