You won't find much coverage of this on our dinosaur media, but farmers all across Europe are revolting against proposed EU tax burdens and regulations to be imposed upon them by the government. Germany is the most recent country where farmers have risen up, and the videos of their massive and spreading protests, as well as the overwhelming popular support, are stunning to behold.
Although legacy media is careful to guard this well-kept secret, the farmer protests have been going on for quite a while. Besides Germany, farmers in Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Spain are among those standing up to big government bullying. Of course, they are being slapped with the handy label, "far right," which in the media applies to anyone standing up for personal liberty.
There's quite a bit of coverage on these widespread protests on "X"--just search for "farmer protest" and you'll have a lot of scrolling and video to take in. In the comments, I often see the question "Why aren't American farmers protesting?"
I have a theory on that. Most of the European countries protesting have seen and suffered long hardship under either communist or fascist rule. They understand tyranny and dictatorship in a way most Americans cannot (at least, not up until the current administration).
These European farmers are willing to draw the line and stand against the authoritarian regimes that are encroaching upon their nations. They will not give up their hard-won freedom and independence without a fight.
The farmers in the United States would be wise to watch closely and to learn from their European counterparts. For us, the time for individual rights and freedom is rapidly running out.
