    If the farmers protests are anything like the ones over here in Germany, then yes. Here they are openly wearing fascist symbols, calling for the lynching of our government, and physically try to attack politicians and their families.

    That’s on top of the fact that they support parties that are antithetical to their interests. They keep pushing for the right and far-right parties that are big proponents of austerity, in a time when big transformative investments are needed.

    So yeah, fuck them.

      Identitarians have been actively engaged in instrumentalising the whole thing, in the west there’s the occasional idiot, in the east well you know the general problem.

      Broadly speaking though farmers are overwhelmingly Green or CDU aligned. And not the Merz-style CDU, but Günther. You could just as well say that they’re all filthy liberals because Lindner held a speech at a protest.
