 farmers in europe are in various stages of resistance and revolt against the goals and requirements set out by those in charge who forget that they're in charge because the citizens allow it so i suspect things are be getting much more interesting. and video of the netherlands revolt are getting more difficult to find as well as being absent from the 'news';

Farmer protests continued in The Netherlands on Thursday. And now the movement is spreading.

Farmer protests were launched in Italy and Poland on Thursday. 

Farmers in The Netherlands blocked supermarket distribution hubs on Monday, July 4th.

The farmers are outraged over new government regulations that force them to reduce their nitrogen fertilizer compounds and limit their number of livestock. The farmers argue that these policies will bankrupt their family business.

Reuters reported:

Reductions are necessary in emissions of nitrogen oxides from farm animal manure and from the use of ammonia in fertilizer, the government says, estimating a 30% reduction in the number of livestock is needed.

High-intensity farming of cows, pigs and other animals has made the Netherlands Europe’s leading emitter of the substances. Construction and traffic also contribute.

Dutch and European courts have ordered the Dutch government to address the problem. Farmers say they have been unfairly singled out and have criticised the government’s approach.

Traffic jams were reported on the highways..........more..........
