It is so strikingly weird that Albania trumps up (pun intended) multiple consecutive mass protests in no time whereas the USA as a nation with 330+million inhabitants could only muster a few nokings protests in the span of years.
US citizens don’t know how to protest
We in America should do the same on trumps party day
Be a shame if they got angry enough that a wild mob stormed the compound kushner and his whore are staying in and ripped them apart in the street…
It would completely cancel that land seizure though…
I think I missed a news cycle or two.
Can someone link me to what’s going on with this?
Jared Kushner went on a trip on a Rotschild (yes that one) mega yacht diving around Europe. Then the Albanian prime minister came to their boat and promised to sell them a massive island for a low price (in exchange for political support or bribes from daddy Trump most likely). Shortly after the boat visit the Albanian government privatized the island and sold it to Jared.
I thought the Albania prime minister was an AI hologram?
Still, this is fucking bullshit. Do people live on the island? Any cultural heritage sites? It’s bullshit either way, but that would make it so much worse.
The trumpians are all over free real estate in eastern Europe, which started with blackmailing Ukraine for personal mineral rights in exchange for not blocking arms and interfering with the war, then went south from there.
Oh, and if you meant an actual link, don’t have one.
Ivanka and Kushner are planning to build a bunch of shit there.
Albanians show up to protest! maybe Muricas can learn something here
You realize we’ve been having large protests, right? For example, the city I live in is not even one of the top 10 largest cities in the US, but it has had multiple anti-Trump protests within the last year with a turnout of over 50k people. There were also other cities within 130 km of mine that had crowds with over 10k people.
The turnout in Tirana is similar in scale, but when you account for how small of a country Albania is and the fact that the entire country can easily travel to the capital to protest, the Albanian turnout is actually far less. The farthest anyone has to travel in Albania to reach the capital is 300 km. You don’t even need a car. You can take an 8 hour bus ride.
In comparison, if I wanted to go to the US capital to protest, it is over 2500km away. That’s like traveling from Tirana to Estonia, but without the option of easy public transportation. Not only that, but US politicians live in highly secure areas far away from where the public can reach. They never have to face us if they don’t want to. No politicians even go to the building of my state capital except for a single 5 month period every two years. So the last several protests in my state capital have been people protesting at an empty building. Look dude, just because the media doesn’t report stuff doesn’t mean people aren’t protesting. But a protest is going to be a lot more effective when you live in a tiny country with an easy way to travel.
Can the average person in your country afford to potentially lose their job while simultaneously being disqualified from unemployment benefits? My current job has 0 days PTO, and yes, I would be fired and disqualified from unemployment benefits. Can the average person in your country spend over $620 per person to fly to Washington DC? Yes, it costs that much for me. And going by bus would be even more expensive and take me over a week in travel time round trip. Can the average person in your country afford to spend over $500 in hotel costs even when splitting a room? If not, please kindly shut the fuck up. Me and many other people have been protesting regularly. But it’s not possible for most of us, me included, to protest where the politicians are. Not to mention, the politicians don’t care in the least. They mock us regularly. It’s difficult to coordinate anything across a country that is as massive as the US, but we’re at least trying.
Are these protest in your city also happening exclusively on weekends? if so, sorry but that’s just not good enough. Yes, I understand it would be harder on week days but the point is to cause economic disruption; it should be clear by now the Pedophile Regime could not care less about the people’s opinion
The turnout in Tirana is similar in scale …
You do realize they are protesting the presence of oligarchs and not the end of their democracy, civil rights, legal protections, etc?
Also, enough with the “they can travel to the capital” you can fucking protest anywhere… didn’t you just tell me you guys are protesting in your city? Do you live in Washington DC? No, you live 2500 Km away
Can the average person in your country afford to potentially lose their job while simultaneously being disqualified from unemployment benefits?
Actually yes, to an extent. Why? because we did not allow things to get this bad. Did your labour protections eroded overnight? was your voting diluted to nothing by gerrymandering and the electoral college overnight? NO, you allowed your own death by 1000 cuts.
So you rather wait until you are laid off, fired or simply turned into a slave before protesting any of the stuff that is going on in your country? Ok, that explains the complete lack of opposition. Best of luck taking anything back after you are completely destitute.
Very unfortunately for you, you have allowed the infection to run freely and fester… now it’s time for some real sacrifice in order to preserve what’s left and have a chance of recovery. Currently you are deciding not to lose the infected leg to amputation, you rather wait until full on sepsis when your only option would be to drop dead
Finally, I would buy some of what you are selling if you guys did the cheap, not costing your job things like leave Xitter/Meta/AI en masse but you are not doing that either
It’s easy for you to talk on the Internet from your armchair of job protections and privilege, where you’ve probably never had to resist anything in your life. Most people are 1-2 months from homelessness without an income. This isn’t a hypothetical situation. It’s a cold fact. And if you are homeless, your kids get taken away. Do you think people are able to protest more effectively in that kind of situation? Which single protest is going to make the immediate difference to bring about change.
And our labor protections were already eroded several generations before I was born. Almost nobody has union representation. It is illegal for a union to require members to pay membership fees. It is illegal for a union to require a company to hire only union members. It is illegal for a union to require its members to participate in collective bargaining. And it is illegal for unions to take action on anything not directly involving the company its members specifically work for, including general, solidarity, and political strikes. Furthermore, the executive branch can obtain injunctions to declare any strike illegal if it is ruled to be a threat to national health or safety. While there have been attempts as recent as this year, there hasn’t been a single successful general strike in the United States since the Taft–Hartley Act of 1947 passed.
And WE ARE protesting. There are people are protesting EVERY SINGLE DAY all over the country. But you will never see that on the news. Many other people and I have attended numerous protests when we are able to. Have you ever stood in 40+°C heat all day weakly holding a sign while trying not to black out from heat exhaustion at a protest? I have. What have you done? You might not live here, but you are affected by some US actions too. You have politicians too, which could be doing more for your people. Your rights could be slowly getting eroded away right now. And if there are any billionaires that exist in your country at all, I guarantee they are. It’s easy to talk shit, but the impactful thing is to stand in solidarity and do what you can from your side of the pond. There are a lot of things you need to be pushing for. Like what the people in Albania are doing right now. You are in a good place to be making a difference. You don’t have to live in fear of the stuff we’re dealing with. You don’t have to continually worry every single day about whether any of your friends are going to get murdered by ICE or a cop.
And please, almost nobody has used Twitter since it went to shit (I’ve never even had an account), only boomers have used Facebook for the past decade, and everyone is pissed about the AI stuff. You love to make generalizations. I get that you’re frustrated. What do you think the frustration is like here?

They’re doing about as much as what Americans are doing to help themselves.
wow, the victim complex is strong with this one… you are right, you are the real precious creature suffering, not the thousands being starved, tortured or slaughtered because of what your country is doing around the world
do us all a favour a take a nap, because when you are sleeping, the world stops and nothing else matters
And what country do you live in? What are you doing to help? You never answered.
Why does that matter at all?
Americans have been breaking records on protest turnout.
On weekends, yes I know. And we all know the orange pedophile cares about those so deeply, he literally sent a video of himself shitting on all those protesters
Yeah well, thanks for the spiritual support from overseas during the one time we need it the most. Solidarity.
The only solidarity we deserve after re-electing the orange fuck is a solid kick up the ass. This is on Americans to fix, and if we can’t fix it, the world doesn’t owe us shit.
You may have better luck with solidarity when you don’t elect a Pedo who has been shitting on the rest of the world… FOR A SECOND FUCKING TIME
You’ve been downvoted but I’m with you on this.
It was almost forgivable when the us population voted that fat cunt in the first time. Yeah, ok, the obese orange buffoon was an idiot, but most of the evil shit wasn’t common knowledge.
However when they did it the second time it showed that -in general- the average american are either stupid, evil, or so complacent that they just don’t give a shit about anything or anybody until it affects themselves personally.That kiddie fiddling tub of corrupt gonorrhoea and the rest of the corrupt disgusting family are fucking things up for the whole world now. All just to steal as money as they can and distract from the Epstein files.
What country are you in?
What’s up with people walking backwards About 5 seconds into this video lol
They probably just reversed the clip so it’s movement matched the adjacent clips. The big red flag in the shot is all the way at the far end of the street. The drone probably just went down and back and they just chopped up the whole clip.
They’re waving their flags forwards too
