Georgia has protests (again) against foreign agents bill (again), but you wouldn't know it from that retweet
ah yes, the "i don't want you to know how much this is astroturfed" protests, against the "we want to know how much astroturf is there" law.
nono, its about russian OMON-backed thugs crushing free spirit of georgia see
If starting to think the country of Georgia is 3 NGOs in a trenchcoat
Lmao It’s pretty obvious this protest is astroturfed because of how much a non-issue the law is. I could believe it was organic if this was something like pension reform.
when the law was first proposed there were so many shitty articles written by western journalists fretting over all the NGO middle managers, they might have to get real jobs because of this tyranny. Why would they have to get new jobs? Well inexplicably they all assume that a law requiring their NGOs to identify themselves as foreign agents means their NGOs would immediately pull out of the country.
I still remember listening to his podcast a couple of times, but finding his "I like machetes" bit grating
Especially because I own several machetes myself and I am not a tool about it
federal evans and his cohosts think being zany by throwing objects around the room is the peak of comedy and it might be worse than his fed shit to me
hold on folks this episode is just the child from canada or whatever who federal evans picked up at a protest and moved him into his house and has him host his podcasts
No. Letting a fellow protestor crash on your couch does not make you a pedophile, what the fuck. Robert Evans may align 1:1 with the CIA on any foreign policy issue, but this is just fucking weird fanfiction people are writing. Just fucking inventing a charge of pedophilia.
This is like when people decided that the lady who made chili was a groomer or some shit. Stop being fucking weirdos.
he didn't just let him crash on his couch temporarily, he moved him into his house and immediately installed him in his business
He gave an amateur journalist a job as a journalist. That is not pedophilia. That's not what pedophilia is. Stop doing this.
It’s weird to let your “employees” live at your house and you won’t change that
If your criticism of him has to include inventing pedophilia charges, then your criticism isn't fucking serious.
I’m not a judge. I’m not charging him with crimes. I’m stating that it’s fucking weird
A fellow protestor who happens to be much younger, who happens to become his sidekick? At a certain point it develops a certain smell...
If only that was what I meant. I wasn't trying to be weird or anything, nor am I mad. Chill.
I actually think tur ing sexual assault into merely a step on the Internet argument ladder is bad.
"This is a good thing" but with irony. *
*Reacting to a bad thing.
Any comrade who says “I don’t care he makes good content” when informed about his CIA aligned proclivities immediately goes on ban list for shit taste
I haven't researched the issue yet but I saw this today
Show
dude wasn't being ironic
The pro-russian politics of foreign NGOs having to show who finances them. Like in every western country.
Here's the episode of Radio War Nerd from last year when the first astroturfed protests and clashes happened over thisthis if you (or any one else) would like some more context on this bill, Georgia and Western NGOs.
Let me guess, NED and USAID running political training programs and funding local propaganda and TOTALLY NEVER letting anyone buy weapons with their aid.
