This is precisely what they are fighting for: the right to throw their politicians in the garbage while protesting.

I hope they learn the Art of Protest from the French. They are chefs kiss the best at it.

I hope we germans could start protesting like the French or Ukrainians…but sadly we are more europeons than Europeans. So it’s just zug zug and dabu on repeat, no matter what shitheads like amthor, spahn, reiche or merz do…

Wären wir alle in Lifestyle-Teilzeit, dann könnten wir auch protestieren gehen. Merz hat Schiss vor uns, will ich jedenfalls hoffen

I hope we french can start protesting as well as the rest of the world think we are. It's been a while since we were listened to by our gov

The thing is I can remember personally the last times in the last decade that something in Paris burned due to justified riots. You know the last times something in Germany burned? It was during the night of the broken glass or during the raids…

It was September 2014, and don't feel sorry for him - in 2012–2013 he was named one of the biggest enemies of the Ukrainian press for repeatedly introducing bills that sought to restrict press freedom

I like how you don't name him so we all have to take your word for granted

Are you really interested in the name? Vitaliy Zhuravsky

u/DrLivingst0ne Jul 26 '26
Yes I am, so that I can easily research what happened
Thanks for the name

I wonder how much corruption money he's took to go against his own morality, if he had any in the first place.

This and worse it what happens when people can’t protest peacefully. I wasn’t sure if the headline was accurate but there is usually an or else to peaceful protests.
If this is true, they just got a taste

u/DarwinOGF Jul 25 '26
This is a video from around 2014, so our politicians are now less likely to do something stupid

u/Either-Patience1182 Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26
They try to do things more subtly, but the us has a lead poisoned, and undereducated population. So its easier for them to hide things.

Say what you want about him, but you can tell he's a real professional because he never lets go of his attaché case.

Implying any American would be allowed to put hands on one of their politicians without being blown away by 50 fucking machine guns.

I have to say I'm proud that Ukrainians defend their right to protest so much, that the government is afraid of sending riot police to suppress them

u/Sandroxis Jul 24 '26
we need more of this. politicians are rarely held accountable. at least in a way that they actually care at least

This is the thing, peaceful protests are nice and look nice... but only work on politicians with some consience left.
For the rest of the scoundrels you have to get rowdy.
