that I can think off the top of my head

Someone remake that Trotsky-Stalin meme, and paste Corbyn's head in there.

the dutch are gross

Weren't the dutch being pushed around before ww2 cause they wanted to keep free trade?

@DevilTongue, what's going on? Are they laying off the WWI agricultural subsidies?

"Muh farm animals bad for climate so we gotta just half the entire farming sector"

"also, government should buy out those farmers"

Gotta let allocative and productive efficiency make for a return, eventually, as it otherwise has the negative consequences you despise under Socialism and Communism.

This isn't even a huge party that is calling for it, but our current government has no spine and the EU is pushing their buttons like they own the place.

Half the entire farming sector that's mostly made from freaking tulips?

I don't agree with it on the grounds of "climate change," but innovation is nearly nonexistent in the agriculture industry, as the incentive is non-existent, given a lack of free-market pressures on the suppliers.

They just sit around and cry about soybeans

Look at all the wonderful technology they could otherwise integrate.

Farming should certainly have some pressures from unions

Subsidies have frozen their production processes in time.

Unions don't induce pressure

Not to mention farmers no longer produce in geographically advantageous areas.

Then they are not really unions are they

@DevilTongue Holodomour 2

Farmers here have been forced to cooperate with the government to implement new technology, they haven't been sitting still. But now the government is saying "fuck you, you did it wrong anyway even though we literally told you what to do for the past 10 years."

In the U.S., for example, subsidies have distorted our production supply-chain, with people growing produce in areas less environmentally efficient than otherwise, say growing fruits in areas with lower atmospheric and soil moisture content, which was also the cause for the Western water-crisis.

If they said anything else it'd be admitting there's an issue

your crops not having class consiousness is your fault, to gulag

Farmers get fucked so hard by governments

@Jeremy The Netherlands is small and very, very fertile. Not much that can go wrong there.

US farming subsidies need to stop

plz & thnx

But the government is using new EU pushed 'anti nitrogen' laws to try and finish off the entire sector, pushing **literal foreign policy** over **democratic policy**

but what is new

On the bright side if the US is allowed to farm properly again we might be able to export to make up for it

Likewise is a large portion of the US, DevilTongue, especially as you go further East, where the agricultural supply-chain should be predominantly located, but it isn't due to subsidies, meaning allocative and productive efficiency is lost, costing us more to produce a given amount than otherwise would.

What's wrong with nitrogen

In the US we destroy huge amounts of food and pay people to not farm to keep food prices artificially high

It's the long-term consequence of subsidies, and it'll take shape in many ways beyond mere environmental production factors.

That supply issue is also a serious factor

Right, @Hexidecimark.

This is what happens when you try and keep up the hustle even though you're sick and your throat's already hurt. Gg beanie man

Basically, the market is trying as hard as it can to make people form logically

Because a specific type of Nitrogen produced by cows, cars and everything else communists hate, can 'apparently' land on the ground and 'harm' our biodiversity.

***Litteral fucking identiy politics for plants.***

It results in surplus production in the tons, each day, which all goes to the waste, @Hexidecimark.

And the government is trying as hard as it can to stop that logical outcome from happening
