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…
The NGOs serve exact same role as missionaries did, they do some positive work to ingratiate the population, but the ultimate goal is to colonize and to take away sovereignty.
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.
