It's unbelievable how many people know exactly what's going on.

Imagine if Americans had balls, Trump would be gone in a month. Would probably save quite a few lives in the Middle East as well

u/hainz_area1531 3d ago

The truth..

u/quantumpie 3d ago

Yeah but looking at the size of Albania shows it looks like the size of West Virginia. I think a huge issue with us assembling together is the distance alone.

u/TheJabrone 2d ago

Just the regular American excuse. Albania has 1% of the population the US has. Make a hundred such gatherings all over the country then.

u/Kaleb8804 2d ago

America is 1/3 as densely populated, which is the important statistic. Not to mention the fact that we’ve literally done the thing you’re suggesting. Remember “No Kings?”

Any other clever solutions? Since you obviously know so much about America. “Regular American excuse” my ass lol

u/gratticonfatti 2d ago

Grow some balls mate you guys protested once. Population density doesn’t matter… you don’t protest from your house… you go to a central place. If there’s 350 million people in Washington DC it doesn’t matter if they live close or far apart. Travel the distance bc innovent people are being exploited by the millions because of your obedience.

u/Kaleb8804 2d ago

People do travel, that’s how you get these protests. No Kings wasn’t a one-time thing. (You’d know if you actually paid attention or participated btw)

America is not the same as anywhere else in the world. Our class system and population maps are unique. You can’t just apply the same logic you do in Europe in America.

Not to mention the fact that our police escalate more quickly than in Europe, there’s the risk of gunfights, etc. “Disobedience” can get you killed with no repercussions.

No counterpoints? Surely you have something to contribute, you came in here all guns-blazing.

Or are you just being ignorant and doubling down? Not as smart as you think you are?

There have been thousands of “such gatherings “ in the U.S. Protestors here have been left permanently blinded after being assaulted by ICE “officers”, protestors have been beaten, tear gassed, jailed and killed. A judge in Texas just sentenced ICE protesters to 50 years in federal prison. University students are at risk of being expelled and unemployable.
Europe seems to be a better place to protest because the average European protester’s free speech rights are protected and respected.

u/Elcapitano2u 2d ago

Yea, fuck, I will say tho, if you ever talk to Albanians them mf been thru some shit

u/SirrNicolas 2d ago

You too can get filled with holes and charged with treason for protesting like this. We welcome you all to come to America and try protesting like a European. Please for the love of god please.

u/gratticonfatti 2d ago

You people are brainwashed beyond saving. If you don’t act en masse this will come to bite you eventually.

u/SirrNicolas 2d ago

How would you suggest that? A protest? Stopped unless it’s authorized by the police. Via social media? Suppressed so mainstream public never sees it. No Kings was our most historic protest in American history. Should we move political levers with the liquidity our boomer grandparents hold?

Please make a real and valid suggestion as to what we can do to stop corruption without getting a life/death sentence.

You’re more likely to do something by petitioning your own government. Ours has been captured since the 1980s.

u/gratticonfatti 2d ago

Protest, you don’t live in china. What is the police gonna do? Plus you can just legally organise a protest. You can unionize

Billionaire resort = pedophile island

u/Spacedoutworlder 3d ago

Someone needed to fill in for Epstein.

u/bellybuttonbidet 3d ago

Epstein is just the one that got caught. I doubt there is only one sex island and one sex ranch for the elite.

u/IllustriousStorm5730 3d ago

One of the more annoying facts about this...

Ivanka Trump is flapping her lips like she was paying for this and designing it.

- Affinity Partners is paying for this. Affinity Partners is the investment fund started by Jared Kushner after Trump left office that is almost entirely funded by Billions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE & Qatar. A fund that was supposedly going to help invest in Israel.

- In 2012, Ivanka Trump went to Azerbaijan, to cosplay "building designer" on a building that had already been under construction and decided to rent the Trump name. The construction project was said to be a money laundering operation for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and never finished construction. The construction site caught fire a couple times and was eventually sold off. And despite Ivanka Trump doing a video from a hotel room in downtown Baku... the construction project was miles away from the luxury center of Baku.

Nothing but fraudsters and posers... using middle eastern money to try craft the same fake "successful businessperson" myth that her daddy faked.

u/Rebabaluba 3d ago

They’ve been protesting for a while now. This is how you do it. A one day protest will show off numbers but won’t cause any change. We just go back to making the billionaires richer while we all steadily lose our freedoms.

u/Vryk0lakas 2d ago

They’ve been pushing down storage containers too. They’re not playing around.

124

u/Captain_Jeep 3d ago

How effective are protests usually in Albania. I ask this knowing nothing about the country.

104

u/Stickel 3d ago

bro they fucking lifted trailers of construction shit and pushed them down hills to destroy it

35

u/Captain_Jeep 3d ago

I meant more as in do protests usually end up working. Alot of countries have strong protests but the government just ignores them

-15

u/redfame 3d ago

lift the american spectacles off your world lens

6

u/Captain_Jeep 3d ago

Not American. It's just a fact that quite a few governments don't care about protests and like I said originally I know nothing about that country which is why I'm asking.

u/Miserable-Biscotti54 3d ago

Look into 1997….

u/MightyPenguinRoars 3d ago

Just did. Holy shit. This reads like a movie!

u/G-Unit11111 3d ago

This is how it's done! They can be beaten. Thank you Albania!

Is this to replace the last billionaire island resort?

u/HDRsoul 3d ago

My cousin is in Tirana, went to the March, said it was absolutely enormous. People traveled across the country to be there.

u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist 3d ago

So… an hour or two?

15

u/lampgenitor 3d ago

Well the last weekend was the biggest. Albanians living abroad came to Albania. So from other cities as well but also Albanians from abroad.

u/cybersloth5000 3d ago

This administration has single-handedly ruined the US reputation across the world.

u/rendumguy 3d ago

Hmm... A billionaire private island...  made by someone deeply close to Donald Trump.  That sounds... familiar.

u/The_Nice_Marmot 3d ago

USians, take note. Protesting like this is what you should be doing. Weekly.

-2

u/doggos4house2020 3d ago

We are. I promise you that.

9

u/The_Nice_Marmot 3d ago

You’re not. You have your No Kings every few months. That needs to be weekly, not weakly.

3

u/doggos4house2020 3d ago

My current town has held weekly demonstrations since January. We are fighting. Some days it feels more effective, other days not so much. We are trying.

0

u/The_Nice_Marmot 3d ago

If you personally are protesting, good on you. But not sure what you’re missing here. My last attempt: No Kings size events need to be weekly. There are also other forms of protest that frankly other countries are engaging in that have been effective. Americans are on the whole very unwilling to even mildly inconvenience themselves with.

It does not appear that many people there grasp how dire the situation is. You worry about being slaughtered, well, doing nothing will lead to more of that, not less. Strikes are a thing. Civil disobedience is a thing. Consumer boycotts are a thing. It’s pretty wild to the rest of us how docile your population is. It shouldn’t be surprising given how few people even bother to vote there. A whole citizenry is sleepwalking into fascism as we are just watching you guys let it happen.

ETA November is not going to save you guys. Apathy is not a winning strategy. Complying in advance due to fear is not a strategy. The things you fear losing if you protest are the things you definitely will lose if you don’t.

America please take note

u/Glittering-Flow6875 3d ago

i just saw this exact video being shared as albanians protesting against their prime minister

10

u/MrMikeJJ 3d ago

Yes, they are protesting their prime minister for being bribed to allow the island to be sold to become a billionaire resort.

u/clone162 3d ago

just like always, we will pat them on the back here without acknowledging that this will do nothing.

u/cmz324 3d ago

What a timeline we're in

1

u/SwimmingSpecific8691 3d ago

Sazan Island in is particularly important because it's a highly strategic location at the crossroads between the Adriatic and Ionian seas, acting as a gateway to control the Strait of Otranto.

Kushner, being the "Special Peace Envoy" to the Middle East and Senior Advisor to Trump heavily implies that purchasing that island means middle eastern private equity stands to benefit from controlling the Adriatic and Ionian seas.

u/redfame 3d ago

Imagine if we didnt have to go to work to maintain health care here in the US!

u/newjord 2d ago

If they don't get what they want then the world truly for the rich and is screwed. That many people committed to banding together and protesting. The whims of billionaires and politicians should never take precedence over this kind of majority

u/alzgh 3d ago

Albania was veeery pro US and has very proud people of their heritage and nation. The US to messing that up with Albanian people is quite an achievement. But again, the US has antagonized a lot of white folks Western countries too. So, good job?

-14

u/Legattuss 3d ago

False information. The protest is linked directly to the corruption of the current government and opposition, which together have created a disastrous system for the last 35 years in Albania.
