it obviously depends on the nature of the protests and how the dialectically opposed forces are interacting, there's no "formula" for this
the 2013 protests in brazil were initially good in spite of my country being under a slightly anti-imperialist government, because their demands were reasonable, their targets were correct, and the PT needed to get their shit straight
but later on, with the repression coming from the PT centrists, our left failed to maintain hegemony, the protests were ultimately overtaken by US-funded ngos and think tanks, a lot of astroturfed shit popped up everywhere, and the continuation of the protests, which were initially good and based, ended up helping set the conditions for the 2016 coup
i have no protest fetish and no binary understanding of them either - despite how popular they might be, sometimes they're good and legit, sometimes they're astroturfed to shit and bad, with numerous possibilities in-between, and their nature changes as the forces involved interact with each other
Yes, Poland has consistently been the most pro-US country in continental Europe since before the Iraq invasion. I'd say they come right after the UK as far as unwavering support goes. Keep in mind that the historic perspective of Poland leads to certain ... concerns about being sandwiched between Germany and Russia, so they're eager to ally with the US. Trump has just recently decided to move a sizeable chunk of the US military stationed in Germany over there, too. They are also ridiculously lib on economic matters, the most leftwing party in their parliament are libertarians or something like that. It makes absolutely zero sense for the US to stage a colour revolution in Poland. Literally any other country in the EU would make more sense.
Inb4 americans come and try to eyplain that this is a cia funded color re... ah shit, late again.
The government is far right, no?
Edit: pro-US and far-right, no?
It is pretty fashy right now to be honest
it's about being pro-american interests, not right or left - putin is a right wing cunt and america would still love a color revolussia
oh you edited it lol
Because people wanting better living conditions is bad because american interests
wrong person for that conversation mate, i'm a rojava stan
And supporting popular movements for reform in russia is bad when it might aling with US interests?

Some parts of the American bourgeoisie. Not all.
