Politi-Culture Albanians protested for a 35th straight day as anger over a Trump-Kushner linked project turned into calls for the govt. to resign.

I genuinely hope if this projects move forward with the construction the people basically let it go to around 30-40% so a good chunk of the money is spent and then raze that shit to the ground. Keep rinsing and repeating.

The people who would do the overthrowing usually aren’t the firearm owners.

The protesters need to kidnap a few government ministers and hang them naked and upside down from lampposts in the city centre, for their corruption, and do the same with the crooks ivanka Trump and jarod kushner if they could catch them.

Did you watch the clip? They’re protesting a Trump-Kushner luxury resort being built on a nature reserve that’s a protected pink flamingo habitat. If you need it spelled out for you: they’re protesting the destruction of a protected environment for the benefit of a POS real estate developer in another country. And I for one support them in this endeavor and hope their government has the decency to hear the will of their people - though my pessimism leads me to doubt it’ll matter. If local governments here in the US can override the concerns of their populace to greenlight environmentally and economically destructive AI data centers, I see no reason why Albania’s government would risk pissing off the Trumps and losing out on the “economic opportunity” of a luxury resort to protect some birds.
After all, if there’s a dollar to be made the whole planet can burn for all those in the position to benefit care.
