Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Because most climate activists are seen as spoiled kids who don't have jobs or other obligations. So when they protest it's seen as them inconveniencing regular people, whose daily struggles they can't even fathom, all because the protestors have nothing better to do.

Meanwhile farmers are seen as hardworking with strong community ties. So when they take time and equipment to protest something, it's seen as something that must be important and worthwhile. Plus, there's a deep feeling of unease that comes over most people when they see things that threaten to fuck with the food supply.

Because farmers vote for the right and the far right who own most of the media ?

~~Farmers~~ Large Land Owners

FTFY.

“Fuck starmer support the farmer”

I can just see the grin on his farmer face when came up with that one after a couple of ciders

The not so petite bourgeoisie.

because they are right wing

Yeah it makes me so mad when I see farmer using their farming equipment to protest, or truckers using their trucks. Everyone has the right to protest, but that right should be equal. So if they want to organize a protest, gather together somewhere in a large group, that's fine by me. But once they start using their equipment that's where I draw the line.

The reason they are allowed (and often licensed) to use that equipment is because they need it to do their jobs. As soon as they use it for any other purpose, they should not be allowed to do so. It's super disruptive, often unsafe and an abuse of their rights and privileges. The impact their protest has is amplified greatly by the use of the equipment. The right to protest should be equal. I work in IT, what the hell am I supposed to do? Start throwing my laptop at cars? I'll be put in jail if I did that, and rightfully so.

They can all just protest like the rest of the plebs, like me. Any farmer, trucker or whatever appropriating their equipment for anything but their job should immediately lose access to said equipment. They earn the right to use the equipment through permits and licenses, they should lose it if abused.
