Dutch Nitrogen wars and German Fossil Fuel Subsidy wars
The result of government bungling not a conspiracy by the WEF
The Nitrogen Wars in the Netherlands were not a plot by the WEF to destroy the milk industry. Milk yields were very unlikely to be affected by the rules on nitrogen because the cows live on feedlots and are fed too much protein anyway. The Dutch Dairy farmers (who also bemoan many consumers turning away from the products of their disgusting industry) were not facing forced closures of thousands of farms, merely the voluntary non-replacement of herds.
The German Farmers protest over the reduction of substantial Fossil Fuel subsidies from tax payers (all subsidies end up favouring the richest-it’s an established economic principle) is the result of years of government procrastination over mounting environmental issues followed by too late, rushed, poorly communicated and bungled policies. Together with corrupt and crazy German politicians phasing out nuclear but keeping coal, Green in name only.
This has resulted in serious political issues for their countries as well as continuing environmental problems.
The protests pull in the far right and give conspiracy theorists (who are fed a constant diet of climate denial by industry) ideas about a WEF agenda for control of the food supply. However big ag ALREADY controls the food supply. The protestors end up protesting on behalf of the 1% who are the ones who mainly profiting from the environmentally destructive fossil fuel, animal ag and agrochemical industries as well as marching alongside those aligned with racist immigration policies.
