    Did the protestors have a media liaison that could possibly answer much better than that 😭 that actually really sucks, the least they could know is what the actual law says, damn. Anyway thanks for linking that interview, it was a very intriguing read and I did see that video of Pipia punching that guy (skinny guy with a black anti-communist shirt?), it was incredibly iconic, we need more footage for NAFO and Nazis getting beat.

      The media’s even worse. I don’t watch much cable news, but the other day I overheard my grandma watching a segment about “Putin’s plans to create a new Soviet Union”.

      Is there a version of that “Xi, Please” image with Putin instead?

        I have the same experience at my house with hearing the news my grandma is watching, its in Portuguese so I don’t understand everything but they talk a LOT about Ukraine and Russia (very pro-Ukraine), one of the guys on the news is also very anti-communist and USSR so there’s that element added too. It’s funny how the media in Portugal is similar to Georgia…
