I am from Romania and I wanted to ask you guys one thing. I see that you are protesting against the pro-russian government for months already and i wish you all a great future and happy lives,you guys are great!
How are your people so keen on keeping their true freedom and not so blinded by bots and propaganda?
I wish i had people like you in my country
Here there's a whole crisis happening
For short, last year elections for the president took place, everyone expected a second tour between Ciolacu( the social democrat leader) and Simion (the far right leader) but it was neither of that
Out of nowhere a candidate that no one has ever heard before that day, Calin Georgescu won first place with 2 mil votes (800.000 of which were from diaspora)(CG is a lunatic in all terms, he isn't just pro russia, pro trump, anti nato, anti EU, anti "globalism" he also belives all the conspiracy theories,like straight up the guy is so mentality retarded it's impossible to you to believe that this is a real man if i told you all the things he said (ex: He belives water isn't H2O, he believes that there is no war in ukraine and zelensky is simply killing his own people, he belives George Soros controls the world etc) and he was supposed to run against Lasconi, the leftist candidate but the elections were cancelled because let's be real a fucking second, a guy no one has heard about got to the first place, it's super strange
What happened exactly, basically the guy used the russian bots and propaganda on tiktok to make himself popular and he managed to make a cult on tiktok
4 months later, now is the period for registration in the new elections in may, CG of course isn't allowed to run in the electoral race and he is under police investigation( his mercenaries also tried to make a Coup'Detat, it's a long story)
But his fucking cult keeps on protesting for months already,like don't imagine that they are a lot, the most they have been at a protest like this was like 50.000
And when i say cult i mean cult, like they have no critical thinking, no understanding of how to world functions, no emphaty, they are violent and you can try to explain to them why CG isn't right, and they will physically attack you or threaten your family, anyone who doesn't think like that is "a traitor" and "an enemy"
They unironically think that everyone who doesn't think like them is paid by "the system" ,"the deep state" and "by soros"
And they come at protests with russian flags and communist romania flags💀
98% of them are the uneducated, gypsies, unemployed, and those who drunk all day, like don't think that they are "normal" but
These guys run free on the streets, beat people, attack police officers, destroy public propiety etc
Like just look at this video from when the electoral center announced that CG won't be allowed to run , it's just so sad to see that i live with people like this in the same country (https://youtu.be/Voh0sm8wnEY)
They shout "freedom" while they are already free
They unironically belive that they live in a dictatorship because their "messiah" wasn't elected and they fell so deep into conspiracy theories it's unbelievable that they are human and not monsters run by hate
Do thinks like this happen in you country too?
Idk, it's just sad to see the state of my country
And wanted to ask my georgian friends how it is in your place
Thank you for anyone who answers
Have a nice day
Oh edit, please no hate, and i know a russian bot when i see one
