for a little context: back in January 2022 my country was struck with mass protests against our authoritarian president. they were so widespread you could compare them to the George Floyd ones. our people were tired of a richie dictator that corrupted the society and leeched off all of us. and guess what? protesters were shot down and arrested, called terrorists, and the shit was swept under a rug in a few weeks. everyone acted like nothing happened.

and the problem with schulmann is that she had the audacity to say that, quote:
"This is a protest of the poor, who believe that they have the right to compensate for their unfair poverty in this way (pogroms, robberies) - These are not like the protests in Russia and Belarus, where students, girls and boys, pensioners, and creative intelligentsia come out"
OH WOW. GEE FUCKING THANKS.
