    The Dutch farmers are now blocking highways again leading to multiple accidents. One highway even got covered in asbestos, which isn’t really all that healthy.

    Not a single action is taken by police or government it seems. They can just terrorize the country without someone stopping them.

        There’s a Farmers Party that now has a fair amount of support, and they’re supported by a far right party as well. There’s large agricultural companies that fund them.

        The rest of the government, in typical neolib tradition, doesn’t want to do anything. Most of them are on holiday I think.

        Police is completely useless so far. Some even support them (fascists gonna fascist).

        And they’re threatening everyone that wants to intervene basically.

        Classic fascist terrorism.

            Most of it is for export anyway. And it’s not a even big part of our export, around 3% or something. Our food security won’t even be in danger by cutting 50% of all farmers. And they are fucking up nature all for profit, delaying construction of houses in the process as well.

            It’s a massive fuck up from all parties involved so far. Government and farmers are ignoring the problem for decades, now all of a sudden they need to change something and farmers don’t accept it. Instead of being an actual government they let them terrorize the country.
