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.
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
I haven’t researched the issue yet but I saw this today
dude wasn’t being ironic
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.
Probably disrupting the Bellingcat money train
