We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.
In the past decade there have been a drop in protests coverage worldwide, governments are now following instructions not to report on these.
Governments don't own most media. For private companies that rely on money, clickthrough rates decrease for events that continue and that has to be one contribution for the decrease
Governments don’t own most media.
Most media are indeed owned directly by governments or by people with ties to them.
Any chance you have some data to show how accurate that is? And, are you making a global statement, or just one about Georgia?
Go to reddit, pick the first media outlet you see and check who owns it, or check who owns reddit.
That's correct, those that own those governments own most media.
Multinational megabanks own most media, they control through DEBT
They also run THE FED, which is in direct control of the USAs money. The USA is not even in control of its own money.
Even without outside intervention, something that happens every single day is not news.
Eh, that's basically the exact definition of news actually lmao
The political elite all have economic ties to Russia and don't represent the will of their people causing significant tension.
Just like the US state of Georgia.
hungary, some of the UK politicians, france, germany.
I mean a lot of countries have long running protests against their governments. While not an everyday occurrence, Serbs have been protesting since 2024 against the corruption of their government, government which is backed by literal war criminals.

Protesting for one day and patting yourself on the back is a farce. Real change takes sustained effort.
Lol 400days so far doesn't seem to accomplish much still.
And look at all the change they're creating!
Take note, US.
I don't understand. Trump's only been president for 368 days.
They're protesting against Putin, not Putin's lapdog.
No need to write "The Country" behind it. We already know that Americans will not really protest even though their country turns into third reich.
The protests have been disappointing recently but to be fair, their resistance to ICE raids is quite something. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it.
...in America. In the last 60 years.
You mean whistling and recording while they illegaly racially profile and abduct innocent people? True, that's something never seen before in America
Side note: when the "third reich" happens for the second time in history, it's called the "fourth reich."
everyday != every day
Good point, I updated the title.
its almost like protesting people without consciences doesn't do anything…
MAGA won’t report on this because it’s against the Russians invasion of their country.
Title has big Troy Barnes energy
we talking the cool georgia or the one with atlantis
fuck the tbilisi tpolisi
