EU Dutch Farmers Protest Megathread

Not likely. Netherlands are one of the most runaway woke/leftard countries in the world.
To elaborate: the people are generally very well-off (compared to most other countries), and therefore very complacent and risk-averse. There's enormous political docility. Most people -- outside the cities -- aren't actually all that woke, and just want everything to be "normal". Almost everybody detests the government. But come next election, they'll vote for the establishment again, because "otherwise I'm just throwing away my vote".

The actual woke extremists here have less of a political presence than their counterparts in America. And in fact, they get all of their typical talking points from America.

The Netherlands, more accurately, is one of the most technocratic, over-governed, dumbly docile countries in the world. People only ever get angry when their comfy existence looks to be threatened. Covid-19 rules start ruining countless small businesses & cause a lot of social friction that people aren't used to dealing with? Suddenly, there's protests. Restrictions lifted? Protests dissipate within a week. Farmers face new regulations that are functionally a death sentence? The farmers protest. Now it's only a question whether they get a buy-out offer, or the government just grinds them down into bankruptcy. Either way, the protests will end then, and will not turn into a mass movement of discontent.

The Dutch will only revolt when the comfortable lives of a clear majority of the population are directly and imminently threatened. Until then, the Dutch will obey the government like good serfs.

(That being said, historical evidence demonstrates that when the Dutch do ultimately get to the point of revolt, tearing apart politicians and eating their flesh raw is in fact a real option.)

Literally why build it there? Surely there are better places for a datacenter? Like maybe Iceland with cheap green electricity and easy as fuck climatization of the servers?
Latency probably.

Old map, but it probably hasn't changed much.

And I doubt Iceland has the same level of inter-connectivity.

Dutch Farmer Protest Update: 16-Year-Old Jouke Freed; Document Reveals Government Plans to Confiscate Farms for Asylum Seekers


Farmers‘ protests in the Netherlands have reached the royal palace at Dam Square in Amsterdam. 16-year old Jouke, who was shot at by a police officer on Tuesday, was released without charges.

Opposition leader Geert Wilders released a bombshell letter showing the globalist Dutch government wants to use expropriated agricultural land for asylum centers.


Around 40,000 Dutch farmer paralyzed traffic in the Netherlands and blocked around 20 food distribution centers over the weekend with trucks and tractors. Yesterday the protests reached Dam Square in Amsterdam and the seat of government in The Hague. The airport in Groningen was blockaded by demonstrators on Wednesday, German farmers joined the protests in Heerenberg near the Dutch-German border.

In an incident near the blockaded food distribution center at Heerenveen in Friesland, police officers shot at 16-year-old Jouke’s tractor, which was already turning away from the roadblock, missing the boy’s head by an inch (Gateway Pundit reported). Jouke and two other protestors were arrested on suspicion of “attempted manslaughter” after which an angry crowd gathered in front of the police station in Leeuwarden. All three have now been released without charges.

A farmer in Leeuwarden told Canadian journalist Keean Bexte that the Rutte government had “created a climate where the police think they can shoot.” Dutch farmers are being dispossessed and committing suicide, the protester said, while China, for example, fails to meet any environmental regulations.

Protestors charged that undercover police officers from so-called ROMEO units are infiltrating demonstrations and fueling violence, as videos on Twitter document, similar to the Jan. 6 Ray Epps operation:

Opposition leader Geert Wilders published a letter from the provincial government of Flevoland, stating that the government will set up “a registration center for asylum seekers” on agricultural land expropriated by nitrogen laws.



Sky News Australia host Rowan Dean compared the Dutch police tactics to the violent quashing of Canadian trucker protests by uparmored riot police, calling Premiers Trudeau and Marc Rutte the “golden pin-up boys for Klaus Schwab and the globalist fantasists of the World Economic Forum.”

“The similarities between Canada and Holland are as startling as they are disturbing,” Dean said. “Only a few months ago, it was the Canadian government that attacked its own citizens in the most grotesque and terrifyingly authoritarian manner during the so-called Truckers’ Convoy when the government actually froze the bank accounts and basically starved out any individuals in what was legitimate peaceful democratic opposition to Covid (vaccine) mandates. That ended badly for Trudeau.”

At the World Economic Forum in Davos 2021, Dutch PM Marc Rutte had boasted about “Holland’s involvement with the World Economic Forum’s Global Food Innovation Hubs, which is busily ‘transforming food systems and land use’,” Dean said.

The Netherlands will host the “Global Coordinating Secretariat of the World Economic Forum Global Food Innovation Hubs”, Rutte said at Davos on Jan. 27, 2021.

“Currently the Dutch government is embarked upon insane efforts to slash Greenhouse gasses and reduce the amount of nitrogen (ammonia) in the soil by 50 to 70 percent by 2030, or even by 95 percent in some places in order to meet Green EU ‘Climate Change’ targets that Holland has signed up to, and this means literally turfing people off their farms. I guess that’s one way to “transform land use and food systems, eh, Rutte?

So in other words, simultaneously decreasing the supply of food and increasing the demand. Are they trying to cause a famine?

Also found his tweet on the topic.

Wasn't this literally the plot of the abominably bad third robocop movie? If we're going to live in a cyberpunk cliché, could it at least be a well-written one?

Yes.

The whole point here is to destroy the national food supply, so that everyone is utterly dependent on imports -- and therefore on globalism -- for food.

Isn't this obvious? Think about it. The present political and economic system is going to collapse; a system with this many structural problems, this much debt and this kind of blatant currency debasement has never ended in anything other than an extremely violent and protracted crisis. In such a crisis, one may expect the rural areas (more conservative) to survive, being self-sufficient. The urban areas (more progressive/globalist) will starve to death. In the event of some kind of civil war (practically a certainty), the urbanites are doomed and the ruralists win completely.

Unless... you deliberately destroy their self-sufficiency. If everyone is dependent on globalism, then the globalists get to stay in charge, because they'll be distributing the UN food rations, communist-style.


(At least, that's what they want. In reality, it'll just all crash down anyway, and they'll still get hanged from lamp-posts by starving mobs, but vastly more people will die needlessly due to their evil schemes.)


Anyway, this is being rolled out in a place like the Netherlands because of the high degree of docility in Duch society. See it as a testing ground. Once it's done here, they'll roll it out elsewhere, too. They've already proposed exactly such measures in the USA, in the so-called "Green New Deal". Make no mistake: some years from now, they will force that on the country.

So, yes. They are trying to cause a famine. And they'll actually do it, too.

yeah communists actually have a pretty murderous history with the people who actually grow the food which helps explain the famines. Most other political ideologies understand you don't fuck with the people who grow your food but commies are a special kind of stupid.
They hate the people who own the means of production (in this case farmers) because they dare employ people and seek a return on their investment. Far better that no one but the state own anything and working hard is unrewarded. Much better to force people to work on a commune where your work is shipped off to the state. Somehow that isn't a form of slavery but working for wages is but that's communism for you.
