    It makes as much sense as Hong-Kong people freaking out for a loophole fix for extradition towards Taiwan

    Which means it’s probably US meddling

      Oh god, the Hong Kong protests. Honestly when they first happened, or at least when I became aware of them, I genuinely thought they were BLM protests because they were happening/being talked about at large at the same time as the protests in America. I saw many people talking about the Hong Kong protests but not about what it was about, so I just assumed it was related since people were drawing connections. Imagine my surprise when I found out people in Hong Kong were freaking out over the extradition of a fucking murderer. Egg on my face, but we live and learn.

      But yeah, now that you’ve brought it up I definitely see the parallels. Both protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential. In Georgia’s case this piece of legislation would actually be a good thing, do they want foreign actors meddling in their affairs? If they’re scared of Moscow, wouldn’t this also apply to Russia?
