most of the farmers protesting are not the friends of nature. their animals are pharmacies and their fields are poisened by glyphosate. farmers are businessmen, there is nothing romantic about them. they don't produce healthy products, they want to make as much profit as possible (at all costs). but the farmers have the advantage of their big machines, such a protest looks good on tv (and is shown on msm all over the place here in europe). protests of nurses or teachers aren't that effective, because they don't have machines to shut down the streets of a whole country. and what are the german farmers protesting against? the government wants to cut subsidies for them ... subsidies paid from tax payer's money to businesses, which made (looking back at the last 10+ years) record earnings in 2023. socialism is pervert, but socialism supporting groups in society, which earn already not bad money is crazy. ... and of course there are still farmers out there, not looking on profits only, and i want them to survive, but they are a very small minority ... and their enemy aren't the consumers, they get crushed by their "monsanto" collegues. sorry, chart is in german ... purple line: total earnings in euro/year
