      Cops are terrified of the manure spraying trucks. I would be too, nobody wants to get sprayed with manure. Every protest should have one.

      The lawful disruption is the kind that tech bros do when they release garbage apps whose sole purpose is to reduce labor, waste resources, and get made fun of on Trash Future.

        i mean literally yes, heavy equipment is a more effective tool of political change than unarmed protest theater, and i say that with serious admiration for the dedication of these climate protestors

          You're right, tho maybe not why you'd think: in France, the FNSEA is the arm of the richest, biggest of industrial farming enterprises. When you see a "farmer" blocking your city with its brightly colored giant piece of machinery, wearing their customary blue overalls, you see someone owning thousands of hectares, plowing the ground dry through monoculture, and "protesting" (with the absolute support of the political system) regulations against the use of harmful chemicals, or against fellow "farmers" from cheaper labor countries having unfair competitive advantage through the EU free market. Or against legislation protecting the soil long-term.

          And these "protests" tells the layman that next week, the price of bread will increase, again, without our elected elite being in the line of fire for it.

          Because poor farmers, you know.

          Source: friend is Organic farmer, owns 40ha, does everything by himself. Nothing the FNSEA does isn't harming the consumer, the fellow small farms, or the planet.

            Yeah this is what I was getting at (damn site made me miss the notifcation to see the replies lol).

            People really don't understand the amount of political power this section of the population has in modern societies. And they're pervasive. It's an interesting contrast to the peasantry that used to exist and do the manual labour on the farms well over 100 years ago.

          Make sure the heavy equipment is spewing piss and shit all over building too. Murdock Media loves piss and shit when advocating for less regulations.

    Um, the climate protests are in Germany - the farmers in Poland.

    Poland would react exactly as the post describes. In fact, it does. So would Germany, but in this case it's entirely not their jurisdiction.
