A Popular Uprising Against the Elites Has Gone Global
There were early glimmerings last February, when the Canadian Trucker Convoy pitched working class truck drivers against a “laptop class” demanding ever more restrictive COVID-19 policies. You saw it as well in the victory of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who ran on parents’ rights in education and went on to win both suburbs and rural areas. You can see it in the growing support of Hispanic voters for a Republican Party, which increasingly identifies as anti-woke, and pro-working class. And now we’re seeing the latest iteration in the Netherlands in the form of a farmer’s protest against new environmental rulings that will ruin them.
Over 30,000 Dutch farmers have risen in protest against the government in the wake of new nitrogen limits that require farmers to radically curb their nitrogen emissions by up to 70 percent in the next eight years. It would require farmers to use less fertilizer and even to reduce the number of their livestock. While large farming companies have the means to hypothetically meet these goals and can switch to non-nitrogen-based fertilizers, it is impossible for smaller, often family-owned farms. The new environmental regulations are so extreme that they would force many to shutter, including people whose families have been farming for three or four generations. In protest, farmers have been blockading streets and refusing to deliver their products to supermarket chains. It’s been leading to serious shortages of eggs and milk, among other food items.

The story says the restrictions make the elites who are behind the restrictive laws feel good about themselves. That will change when they are chased down and killed like the elites in Sri Lanka. The people who will be responsible for the mob activity are not the enlightened academics from those cheeky cocktail parties. They will be made up of those people that actually have to work for a living. Those men in the bright green shirts getting cold drinks and sandwiches at 7-11 at 4:30 am while on the way to work. The vulgar right to the academics. The unclean, unwashed Wal-Mart shoppers to the politicians. The elites will learn to understand that when these people start rising up, they are knuckle draggers and can not be reasoned with. And if they are coming for you, they will get you. Count on it. History has ample examples of this spirit. Violence has ultimately solved most problems.
Rick,
You’ve got a good perspective. No license will be needed for hunting down TPTB, and there’s no bag-limit per day or per week.
MEMO TO ELITES: “Nothing personal–there’s line 8 BILLION of US and only a few hundred of y’all.”
…numbers matter…. don’t let anyone BS you.
No quarter.
Damn right and it is a great thing to see.
