A people’s revolt against eco-tyranny.

[Mindful]

If police were opening fire on protesters in a European nation, we would have heard about it, right? If there was a mass uprising of working people in a European Union country, taking to the streets in their thousands to cause disruption to roads, airports and parliament itself, it would be getting a lot of media coverage in the UK, wouldn’t it? The radical left would surely say something, too, given its claims to support ordinary people against The System.

Cops shooting at working men and women whose only crime is that they pounded the streets to demand fairness and justice? There would be solidarity demos in the UK, for sure.

^ Well, all of this is happening, right now, in a nation that’s just an hour’s flight from Britain, and the media coverage here is notable by its absence. As for the left in Britain and elsewhere in Europe – there’s just silence. This is the story of the revolting Dutch farmers. These tractor-riding rebels have risen up against their government and its plans to introduce stringent environmental measures that they say will severely undermine their ability to make a living. They have been protesting for a couple of years now, but their fury has intensified in recent weeks. They’ve blocked motorways, blocked roads to airports, set fire to bales of hay, and descended on The Hague. Things are so serious that yesterday, in the province of Friesland, police opened fire. Mercifully, no one was injured.

There has been some reportage outside of the Netherlands, of course. But it has been strikingly muted.

* It isn’t only in the Netherlands that people are rising up against eco-elitism and its noxious impact on the working class. The year-long gilets jaunes revolt in France started as a mass uprising against the government’s big green idea of hiking up the cost of fuel. In a brilliant challenge to the otherworldliness of the eco-obsessed elites, gilets jaunes’ banners said that where establishment types bleat about ‘the end of the world’, the rest of us are concerned with ‘the end of the month’.

Human induced climate change and the severe radical measures these eco-elitists are exacting upon industry, farmers, workers, and the financial crush on the people are truly evil. Their motives are for political gain or more insidious global designs. They will cause hundreds of millions or billions to suffer greatly just to pretend they are saving the world with this total sham.

From the article >> The tough Dutch measures sum up how unhinged and elitist the climate-change ideology has become… Pople have had enough of the green hysteria of the global elites… Let us hope that the brewing global revolt against all this eco-derangement gives rise to a firmer defence of industry, progress and the importance of prioritising the needs of humanity over the feelings of Gaia.

You are expecting people in the UK to be upset because in Holland there is you say 'A peoples Revolt against eco tyranny'. The UK takes Global Warming very seriously. I personally would like the fossil fuel empires to pay a large part of the expenses given that they kept quiet about knowing what their product was doing since the 60's and certainly would have some feeling for the farmers if that was the issue but clearly it is not. It is about the farmers not wanting to do necessary things to save the planet. You know that the only people who would be fighting for that are climate deniers. We have very, very few of those.
