Summary
European farmers, facing economic strain from environmental policies, globalization, and climate impacts, are increasingly turning to far-right and populist groups that oppose costly climate measures.
From the Netherlands to Spain and Germany, disillusioned farmers have led high-profile protests against regulations they see as financially burdensome and imposed by distant political elites.
Campaigners warn that without fair and well-funded support for farmers during the green transition, resentment will fuel far-right gains, risking democratic stability and climate progress.
Experts urge mainstream leaders to address rural grievances to prevent further radicalization.
“fair and well funded” my ass.
German farmers get over 40% of their income from subsidies and tax cuts already, they’re effectively state owned.
These idiots get squeezed by the food industry and instead of doing anything about it, they cry for more and more subsidies.
And one thing to remember: a whole lot of farmers are just really really not smart. They live in their farmer bubble and if the nazi editor of their farmer magazine claims that refugees steal their corn and woke people want to ban their pork, they’ll believe that.
“Weird weather? It’s Nazi time!”
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Nazis say stuff like “it’s the Jewish space laser” and the idiots believe them
