eh, probably not. if it's anything like the situation here in hungary, most of the protestors are agitprop-poisoned (but unaffiliated) libs who 1) dont know that this sort of law is par for the course in the enlightened west 2) think that even if that's so, it's different because democracy and 3) there's nothing wrong with western money trying to coup a government.
That would be the profile of anybody who's not directly employed by a NGO, but the sheer number of NGOs per capita in Georgia suggests that statistically a lot of the people protesting would be doing it because their own livelihoods would be affected.
oh sure, i just meant that eg my mother was never employed by any NGO and she's huffing this shit full force, so i think it's a western-style lib thing.
ehhh, some sure. but i think NGOs are the only thing keeping some parts of our crumbling social services "working" since orban decided to spend even less on them than the standard neoliberal governments before him...
Those anti governments protestors see the law and "Ruzzian " barbarism . EU chief also said that Georgia can't get into their coven if they pass the bill.
The US law, FARA is far tougher than this proposed law, with further reach and harsher penalties and the US enforces it vigorously.
Most of the EU states have similar laws. It's incredible and shameless how this is spun as some attack on democracy. It's really an attack on US attempts to gain full control of a country on Russia's border to do Ukraine 2 with.
If a coup does happen and Georgia follows Ukraine's example, I'd like to see the faces of the protestors. At some point you just can't feel sorry for people anymore.
OOTL, what is the context here?
They passed a law that requires NGOs to reveal their funding sources.
So they're "protesting" because of that? Gotta be kidding me 😅
I'm guessing most of those protesters are on the payroll of these NGOs

Right, and ultimately brainwashing people is the whole point of NGOs.

it's a mixed bag.
Never underestimate the power of liberals to buy into western lies.

Amusingly, US has the exact same law as well.
Rules based international dying order
the sooner the better
If Ukraine didn't bury US, Israel is digging a big hole so US can be buried with itself.
Israel threw US a real curve ball.
dont foreign funded NGOs have to declare it in the west too? i'm p sure they do, especially if it's from an eeeeevil country.
Yes. Of course the protesters claim this to be a lie.

i think this guy (georgian PM) really doesnt want georgia to get dragged into this war, but western-backed libs have been trying.
but this is off natopedia and vague memories of protests in georgia holding up EU flags, etc.

Oh, they won't be dying themselves, they would be forcing other people to do it for them.
