Thousands of demonstrators protesting the Georgian government's decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union have clashed with police outside the parliament building for a second straight night.

Summary

Protests erupted in Georgia after the government suspended EU membership talks, sparking two nights of clashes with police in Tbilisi and Batumi.

Demonstrators accuse the ruling Georgian Dream party, linked to Russia, of election rigging and undermining democracy.

President Salome Zourabichvili joined protests, condemning police violence and the government’s stance. The EU had conditioned Georgia’s candidacy on reforms but suspended the process over anti-democratic laws.

Georgian PM Kobakhidze criticized EU “blackmail” and rejected grants until 2028, fueling accusations of authoritarianism and pro-Moscow policies. Tensions highlight Georgia’s volatile political trajectory.

    I’ve glanced at that, & … happen to agree with the guy, on some points…

    ( depends on interpretation:

    Iran being incapable of self-governance so long as the entrenched political-rot won’t allow any integrity into Iranian-governing … is hard fact, in my eyes… )

    I’m seeing only 13 identification-of-comments, they’re all removed, of course, so it isn’t possible to consider whether it was his-bias, community-bias, mod-bias, clusterfuck-of-misinterpretations, or some “special mixture” of these, together, that is the root-problem…

    Given how lets-all-pile-on-against-the-downvoted-guy is part of reddit & lemmy culture, as I’ve experienced, many a time,

    … the fact that someone got 200 downvotes isn’t itself proof of their wrongness or harmness…

    Their being blindly pro-Israel, … that I cannot agree with,

    & according to the elder rabbis who I’ve seen videos of, back when the Zionists 1st enacted laws setting-this-all-up, there was a prominent rabbi who spoke that something similar to fascism, or nazism, I forget which term he used, had just been enabled, & within 30 years it would produce its results…

    that has been borne out.

    Apparently he was the only rabbi with the massive clout to be able to speak that truth openly, at the time…

    & now … well, ideological-rabies is taking-over the entire world, with the help of social-cyber-warfare…

    To me there’s a problem that many are ignoring, & that is the problem of living in assumption & making-believing, until it’s terminally too-late,

    as the US Left did, in the last election, & Romania did, just after.

    EITHER you keep politically-inconvenient-truths in-your-face, XOR you remain “unconscious-at-the-wheel”, as the Left has proven its committment to doing, again & again & again…

    Because I’m not permitted to judge based on evidence, & am only told that the judging proves he had no place…

    I don’t consider that to be good-enough for me to side against him.

    I require to see, with my own eyes, evidence, before deciding that somebody actually is harmful, you know?

    shruggeth

    Whatever: maybe he was a troll, & maybe he was fed-up with ideological-idiots, & maybe it was a mixture of both, & maybe there is another dimension-of-explanation I’m not perceiving…

    but since evidence is what I’m not permitted to consider, then I have no right to judge, do I?
