The answer is obvious but I still have to ask if the farmers have no real shame in their body?
Who would want to be represented by a television dickhead who bought a farm and then when the contracted local retired, decided that he would do it himself as reality tv and promptly renamed the farm to “diddly squat”.
Like you wouldnt be offended if you werent a farmer, but if you can imagine being one then wouldn’t you find it a little distasteful for some dickhead with money to roll in and make a big joke out of it?
Most farmers (who aren’t farm hands/workers) in the imperial core are essentially petty bourgeoisie. They have the same class interests as the ruling class.
So, in the UK they have special ancestral bullshit about land ownership, and agricultural land is extra special and has all sorts of tax and inheritance gimmees that the oligarchs use to do oligarch things.
They dont ‘have the same interests’; its literally the same people.
The same way american farmers are, by area, mostly corporations, but scammier
100% of the farmers in this protest are petty-bourgeoisie. They are protesting because the changes are likely going to force them to sell their farms, these sales will go to much bigger farms.
What’s happening is essentially the petty-bourgeoisie being squeezed by the bourgeoisie.
Oh yes definitely, but don’t they have some invented mythology and folksy pride to them?
Have they all just beocome indistinguishable from finance worms and the other standard ghouls?
Well you see they get a lot of money from the government and they’re all massively in debt as long as they don’t sell their land, but if they do they’re millionaires, but they don’t, so that means they’re working class
I thought the same at the beginning, but after working for few years in agriculture, he is actually presenting real problems every farmer has, not only British bourgeoisie.
He put more spotlight on farming issues than all non profit organisations together.
Of course they support him. Yeah he is a bit crazy and looks disrespectful on the first look, but give it a chance he is actually highlighting even ecological issues around farming.
They think Jezza is cool and the man. My brain melted when I saw he had a an article published in a newspaper in Britain, and it started pouring out of my ears when I realised he was a regular columnist. He had an actual column in an actual newspaper and it wasn’t about cars and farts, but politics.
Top Gear becomes less fun when you realize Clarkson means what he says - the ignorant caricature of a right winger that he plays is not too dissimilar from his actual views.
but he was on TV! Could there be anything more important?
