Climate Protesters clearly need to start investing in heavy machinery
Like tractors?
Like tractors?
look killdozer is a controversial figure in the year 2024 but I'm just saying, the guy had an idea...
Except his motives were less than pure
his motives aside they still couldn't stop a bulldozer with an armoured shell and that's something to think about
Cops are terrified of the manure spraying trucks. I would be too, nobody wants to get sprayed with manure. Every protest should have one.
"Unlawful disruption" sounds like some absolutely made up and contemptible shit.
You got a license for that disruption?
The lawful disruption is the kind that tech bros do when they release garbage apps whose sole purpose is to reduce labor, waste resources, and get made fun of on Trash Future.
One group has real political power, the other doesn't 
Political power grows from the rubber of the large vehicular wheel
i mean literally yes, heavy equipment is a more effective tool of political change than unarmed protest theater, and i say that with serious admiration for the dedication of these climate protestors
You're right, tho maybe not why you'd think: in France, the FNSEA is the arm of the richest, biggest of industrial farming enterprises. When you see a "farmer" blocking your city with its brightly colored giant piece of machinery, wearing their customary blue overalls, you see someone owning thousands of hectares, plowing the ground dry through monoculture, and "protesting" (with the absolute support of the political system) regulations against the use of harmful chemicals, or against fellow "farmers" from cheaper labor countries having unfair competitive advantage through the EU free market. Or against legislation protecting the soil long-term.
And these "protests" tells the layman that next week, the price of bread will increase, again, without our elected elite being in the line of fire for it.
Because poor farmers, you know.
Source: friend is Organic farmer, owns 40ha, does everything by himself. Nothing the FNSEA does isn't harming the consumer, the fellow small farms, or the planet.
Yeah this is what I was getting at (damn site made me miss the notifcation to see the replies lol).
People really don't understand the amount of political power this section of the population has in modern societies. And they're pervasive. It's an interesting contrast to the peasantry that used to exist and do the manual labour on the farms well over 100 years ago.
Make sure the heavy equipment is spewing piss and shit all over building too. Murdock Media loves piss and shit when advocating for less regulations.
Weird. Cointelpro never stopped.
I'm picturing a Kelly cartoon of this like a spot the difference, but with eveything captioned like 'car-hating Gen C-Levels' and 'Healthy organic protests' and The tagline reads; 
Blood & Soil
*latest fad
One side brought heavy duty machines, one didn't.
Ok, but how about this: monster trucks, but it's just Tractors running over police cars
landowners =/= farmers
no solidarity with these Climate Protest Fuckers .. its a Psy Ops to establish the general Citizen as beeing guilty of the Elites Crimes. they could just as well blockade factory gates and Villas ..
Um, the climate protests are in Germany - the farmers in Poland.
Poland would react exactly as the post describes. In fact, it does. So would Germany, but in this case it's entirely not their jurisdiction.
