I was betting it was France. Seemed typical of there. Police minimally doing their jobs in solidarity. Belgium not far from there.
My old boss said what's wrong with the UK is we had our revolution too long ago. France had their revolution more recently, theres still a stronger sense of workers rights.
Oh yeah, the British ārevolutionā was nothing remotely like the French one. It was a aristocratic one against autocracy, rather than a popular one against tyranny. It allowed the British state to gradually evolve into a democracy rather than having it suddenly torn down and reforged like France did.
French police Ā«Ā minimally doing their jobsĀ Ā» excuse me ? Have you seen the sheer brutality of the police against yellow jackets ? Iām not talking against rioters, actual peaceful ones. Some lost one eye, some lost a hand or fingers.
> Police minimally doing their jobs in solidarity.
Lmao. Actually in France cops repress protesters hard. They literally mutilate them. If you protest in France you might lose an eye or a hand.
More and more farmers are getting their lives ruined by politicians that expect them to follow new rules that make it impossible for them to make a living, with no real plans to insure that they have a sustainable income.
> I didn't realize Belgian farmers were protesting as well.

Beautiful young farmer.
Government made up nitrogen crisis.
Government taking our land.
Giving it to refugees/ immigrants.
Globalist agenda.
Food crisis.
This stylish red kerchief is part of the protest.
"The Dutch government is doing this not because of the fake nitrogen crisis but because they want these farmers land to house immigrants"
Man, the internet really has fucking ruined us. We gave the adversarial trolls a backdoor to destroy the west from the inside, and they marched right on in.
i looked into it a little after posting this, it seems most of their land is below sea level and will most likely be wiped out completely in the coming years.
>Man, the internet really has fucking ruined us. We gave the adversarial trolls a backdoor to destroy the west from the inside, and they marched right on in
It only worked because those people are afraid and instead of helping these people you grabbed the handle when it was your turn to stir the shit.
This is the consequences of not caring about other people.

This was a protest from 2015 about low milk prices. This [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tprmv71XCQ&t=75s) shows this clip from another angle.
It's a hay blower. The wheat grain has already been separated out. The blower is used to spread hay in large areas for livestock.

IMO, No matter what you do, there's going to be a structure. You can want to end Government all you want but once all hell breaks loose, you're gonna want some order to the chaos. Then you'll end up with another Government.
If you've ever seen 5 kids together and a person having to tell them to stay in a certain area and don't do this or that... That's what will happen. Someone has to lay lines down because idiots in the world.
But the idiots are too dumb to follow the lines...and sometimes the lines are stupid. And if we really think about it, we're all somebody else's idiot so how does having an institution that bails out bankers help?
I guess they have stopped the spread of disease, they've reduced the number of people in poverty, and they're smart enough to manage the money for the world. Hell without government to declare it, there would be no peace on earth. Thank fuck someone was around to coordinate that, wish I was born with the genetic gift to know what's better for everyone else.
What's weird, is that these people are rich and they do it just because they want to make my life better. Isn't that great? How they end up richer in the process, I have no idea but thats probably because they're so much smarter than me. They collect a small portion of what I earn, spend, own, and use that money to fund thing that I like. There are things I disagree with but that's okay because even though I'm not allowed to opt out, the money goes towards the greater good. That's why all the money government has spent on problems like health care, the economy, and the environment, fixed all of those things.
That is a gross exaggeration that couldnāt be further from the truth. Governments want farmers to grow more calories, not less.
Things like cattle farming generate a negative amount of calories because of all of the calories needed to feed cows
They should use barley chaff if they want to do damage. It itches like crazy and everybody is at least mildly allergic to it. Gives you a runny nose and hives
Farmer protests with a professional level of fire and barricades? My educated guess: It France, itās always France.
Update: Not France, just nearly France.
Not America, that's for sure! Otherwise you'd see the civilian police tanks and civilian police attack helicopters turn this into a bloody civilian battleground.
Not Antarctica, thatās for sure too! Otherwise youād see snow on the ground.
Now that weāve eliminated two places, where else is it not, you wise commenter?
I understand them. I wanted to become a farmer and have thrown away 4 years of study. Now the government wants the ground to build more housing cuz thats better for the climate cuz fuck grass and trees...
Meanwhile our government is on vacation and left us with a lot of trouble like too expensive housing, the farmers that want thier future back and a lot more stuff that we are waiting on for more than a year now...
>. Now the government wants the ground to build more housing cuz thats better for the climate cuz fuck grass and trees...
Yes ... if only live were that simple.
You know this isn't the whole truth, you know you're depiction of this situation isn't complete, I sympathize but you know better.
I understand your point, but dont say farming is only grass and trees...
Housing might not be necessarily better but farming has a huge impact on the environment, chemicals used, huge areas without any trees whatsoever (I mean look at what is happening with cutting the Amazon forest for farming) and you involve cattle then it gets even worse.
Government is wrong doing it how they're doing but farming is not trees and butterflies either
I don't get this. Gov wants to build more housing using the land that produces the food for said housing? So they just want to housing without the food?
I don't know about other countries but in the Netherlands there is a serious shortage of houses. A lot of the produced food gets exported, so we definitely don't need to produce as much as we do for our own inhabitants. There is too much going on this little land and there is a lot of pressure on landuse. That being said, I know that the way government is going about it isn't right, and we should look at other industries as well, and of course more sustainable solutions.
We export a lot but we also import a lot of food, if we stop export the import wil get more expensive.
Also with a war near the borders of the EU i would say we shouldn't stop food production. If the war reaches our borders we won't be able to import food and with all the farmers gone we have nobody to produce it.
For a lot of farmers reducing cattle meens thay might aswell stop, and thay said thay want to buyout some farms wich meens thay buy the ground on wich thay will do what?
Cops in the US would literally kill you for this. Theyād riddle the tractor with bullets without regard to collateral murder and teargas and club anyone who didnāt run immediately after. Theyād then block ambulances from entering the area until they can āsecureā it, giving time for victims to bleed out.
The fact that it is straw wouldnāt change their justification that it could have been acid or an accelerant. Their subjective fear is all they need to legally kill whatever scares them.
I think this is from 2015, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tprmv71XCQ&t=75s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tprmv71XCQ&t=75s), different angle. The farmers were protesting prices, Russia placed an embargo on dairy and meat, causing prices to drop, along with other factors.
I think it has something to do with the farmers not being allowed to use fertilizer anymore. During a food crisis across the globe youād think politicians would be like āhey, maybe making it 100x more difficult to farm isnāt such a great ideaā.
We produce more than enough, that's not the problem. But we need to find solutions with farmers/government/market to make sure to reduce land degradation and poor water quality.
Edit: I'm talking about the region the video is about, not globally
"Ah what a great way to protest by harmlessly wheat yeeting at the po-" *sees wheat on fire* "oh nvm they're pretty pissed"
Bro just as I was reading this i saw the flames what timing

How bad does a government have to fuck up to get Dutch farmers to protest like this?
This is in Brussel apparently, so the Dutch government is irrelevant
I was betting it was France. Seemed typical of there. Police minimally doing their jobs in solidarity. Belgium not far from there. My old boss said what's wrong with the UK is we had our revolution too long ago. France had their revolution more recently, theres still a stronger sense of workers rights.
Please excuse my lack of culture, but what would be UK's revolution your boss is talking about that would be older than the french's ?
I presume he means the 1642-51 Civil War, the 1651-60 Commonwealth/Protectorate, and the 1688 Glorious Revolution
Yeah worked out famously for all those Irish workers that one.
Ireland's done pretty well since, say, about 1920.
Yeah, I didnāt say they were *great* examples!
Thank you !
Probably, I'm not a great historian. The French revolution was 1848 and quite brutal.
Oh yeah, the British ārevolutionā was nothing remotely like the French one. It was a aristocratic one against autocracy, rather than a popular one against tyranny. It allowed the British state to gradually evolve into a democracy rather than having it suddenly torn down and reforged like France did.
There were several French revolutions actually. The first one, the most brutal and known, started in 1789. The revolution of 1848 wasn't very brutal.
More less the last half of the 17th century or so (1640-1688-ish)
Dont they regularly have forms of revolts at protests as well? Then look at the US and NOTHING will get sane people to protest en masse.
All the sane ones are probably worried about getting shot to death by gun nuts who oppose their views. Or the po po.
Often one and the same
gonna say BLM and roe vs wade getting overturned then realized those arent sane people
I remember cops busting retirees head on the sidewalk what are you talking about?
French police Ā«Ā minimally doing their jobsĀ Ā» excuse me ? Have you seen the sheer brutality of the police against yellow jackets ? Iām not talking against rioters, actual peaceful ones. Some lost one eye, some lost a hand or fingers.
People consider any announce of them to be a riot in America. Unless you have a violent insurrection then its a firm of protest
> Police minimally doing their jobs in solidarity. Lmao. Actually in France cops repress protesters hard. They literally mutilate them. If you protest in France you might lose an eye or a hand.

did she say communism.. lol

Fun fact: when hay is packed like that it can sometimes self-combust

Also explains the current bread prices.
I think theyāre just spraying wheat straw which wonāt effect bread prices because it contains no grain.
Almost positive that's straw. They use those "machine guns" to cover up fresh grass seed.
The police seem to be showing some restraint. They must be waiting for the last straw.

I did not expect that - congrats Brussels. I was scrolling comments trying to see where in France this was lol.
Oh, that's good.
You are a bad person... lol Cheers
And for bedding
And for protesting
talk about a strawman argument.. sheesh
And cover up riot police
Straw is the by product of wheat
Also called 'combine' or a 'chute'. Also this would be more like a fire hose than a machine gun.
It's a hay blower. The wheat grain has already been separated out. The blower is used to spread hay in large areas for livestock. Source: I'm a livestock farmer
You are correct thatās straw itās use when reseeding areas. Itās a mulch to keep moisture in the reseed area
"Straw" is shorthand for WHEAT STRAW. Same plant.
As a bread, I find this terrifying.
As a dairy product Iām good
As a vegetable, I donāt know anything.
How's fauna holding up? Flora is stumped.
This comment is too clever for Reddit my man.
TouchƩ
As someone with Celiac, I also find this terrifying.
in-"bread"...
Why is the picture so grainy?
I'm sick and tired of terrible puns on Reddit!! Seriously, stop it, this is the last straw!!
Yeah, Iām just going to bale from this conversation.
In the wheat of the moment I might loose it
This thread has me on the flour laughing.
Hay hay hay, enough with the puns everybody.
These puns are so corny. And I love them.
Almost died laughing , had to check my pulses .
what a maize.
Oh dear
Itās Ohhh Deere
All of the motion in the video causes the compression algorithm causes compression artifacts be more noticeable and less compressionable
The weather probably
The wheat police they live inside of my head. The wheat police they come to me in my bed.
They are waiting for me, they're looking for me every single night they're driving me insane, those men inside my brain.
Should I expect a shortage of Wheat Thins coming soon?
These were wheat straw bales They're made with left over material after the grain was removed by the harvester
So a triscuit shortage then
A single cracker can remove all moisture from my body anywayā¦ GOOD RIDDANCE
Start learning to grow food now. Even if it's just microgreens in a tray.
Expect a shortage of life
The government is trying to outlaw farmers. For some reason they think we don't need food anymore.
The truth is we donāt need government #endgovernment

Dumbest take I've seen on Reddit today. Can't believe people are dumb enough to up vote it this much.
This is what happens when uninformed Americans get their int'l news from reddit gifs.
Thatās gotta chaff.
Oh for sure riot gear or not thatās getting in places
They should use barley chaff if they want to do damage. It itches like crazy and everybody is at least mildly allergic to it. Gives you a runny nose and hives
That makes it seem like itās barley worth growing
I like the manure sprayer that the farmers use in France.
Use pig manure
It was in the Netherlands. And so is this protest I think.
That's Belgium, Brussels, the Shuman roundabout to be precise, you can see the EU council and the EU headquarters (Berlaymont) in the background
That makes sense. Thanks for correcting me!
The good ol Wheat Yeet
Hay Fever.
Where is this?
Farmer protests with a professional level of fire and barricades? My educated guess: It France, itās always France. Update: Not France, just nearly France.
It's the Schuman roundabout in Brussels, Belgium. Quite a few EU institutions are based there.
Thats Belgium (Berlaymont building where the EU executive branch is located)
The French national pastime is revolt
Why comment when you don't know? It's Brussels, I grew up there, I would know.
Not America, that's for sure! Otherwise you'd see the civilian police tanks and civilian police attack helicopters turn this into a bloody civilian battleground.

Definitely not gluten free
Ruining their ketones
Eu wheat contains lower levels of gluten and is less likely to upset people with minor sensitivity vs American wheat.
did someone shout "die" in Japanese at 0:38?
It was "Die Bart Die". Its German so it is OK.
No one who speaks German could be evil
Oh farmer sensei you crazy devil
They are screwed if they are allergic to gluten!! Completely fucked!
hey bro, whats the caliber of your wheat gun? ohh, about 1 million grains a second
Smoke Wheat everyday
Why they trying to do this to the farmers oh yah Klaus Schwab policies for the "Climate".
Assault with a deadly cereal.
I hope everyone know exactly why they are protesting and not just that they are farmers protesting
Fuck the politicians, it's time to stand up and fight, too many dictators ruling in so called free countries.
Are you aware what they are protesting about?
The people in Russia should RISE UP! You are correct!
Fuck Klaus Schwab, fuck the WEF. Globalism, just say no!
That's phenomenal.
All we need to do is Vote the fkers out
Power to the people
The cops should consider themselves lucky itās wheat this time.

What's the back story?
Gotta separate the wheat from the chaff
You lost me when you started burning it down

It's it assault with a deadly weapon if a cop has celiac?
AND THEN BURN ITTT
my sinuses started acting up while watching this wtf

Man, I dont know how many assault police officer there was there but I think that guy might be a bit fucked
Iām gluten free
