Net Zero uproar in Germany — mass Farmer protests spread to other workers
Posted by freedomforall 3 months, 3 weeks ago to Politics
Excerpt:
"For weeks a huge uprising has been building in Germany against NetZero, green tape and rampant taxes. The Germany government gave a partial concession last week, but the protests only grew stronger. Not only are the autobahns and streets grid-locked with thousands of tractors and trucks, but the freight and passenger trains have also stopped in a three day strike. Cargo boats are blocking inland waterways and canals. There is a looming strike of doctors as well, and the cluster of discontent has been labelled “Mistgabelmop ” — the pitchfork mob. Convoys are up to 20 kilometers long, and are widespread. The protests appear to be spreading. There are rumors of protests gathering in support in France. Romania, Poland, and the UK
Pierre Gosselin, at NoTricksZone in Germany, writes “Never in postwar history has a ruling government been so unpopular“.
The things the BBC/ABC/CBC/NPR/etc didn’t tell you on the news tonight can be found in five minutes on Twitter. Vive Free Speech. Thank you Elon. Those who control most of the Western media don’t want the unwashed masses to know about these protests because they fear the protests will spread like wildfire.
“They feel like they are being ruled by people that hate them”
— Eva Vlaardingerbroek
The Wall Street Journal comments that “Radical environmentalists pioneered aggressive protest techniques, but they didn’t have tractors.” Despite the inconvenience, nearly 70% of the German people support the farmers.
One irony, which Britain’s Just Stop Oil or Germany’s Fridays for Future lefties will be too dim to note, is that if everyone who is negatively affected by the costs of net zero starts taking to the streets, the net-zero fantasy will end in a flash. — Joseph C Sternberg, WSJ
Things are so dire the German “traffic light coalition” government is thinking of using more coal. News has leaked that the German Economics Minister has shelved the old “power plant plan” which depended on gas, and is secretly planning on increasing old coal fired “reserve” power. Only in October the plan was to phase out the coal back up for next winter, but already it is clear this won’t work. –– Berliner Zeitung."

Why not in the US?
Stop doing what the FedGov wants.

First off, ecological stewardship requires surplus dollars. It isn't free. The people will have to suffer for the dreams of the leadership elite. That's what's happening here in the US. I spent probably 500 hours in 2023 trying to appease our own government in such eco efforts in my engineering work...and I'm pretty good at avoiding such malarkey. Such programs are giant drum circles, rife with the leftist mantras and hocus pocus they're feeding the general public. The engineers know, though, for the most part.

Green on the outside. Red on the inside
Tells you all you need to know about modern German government, really.
Perhaps The People will march on Davos and END THIS once and for all.
Not in the US because we really are much dumber per capita than the European nations. We are VERY brainwashed however. The Dumbest amongst us actually think THEY are the smart ones. Because they paid people to tell them they were. Then were dumb enough to believe it.
The Dumbest among us actually 'feel' ...
I don't believe that Europeans are any smarter,
(but I do hope they are successful in resisting their version
of the Deep State from fully enslaving them.)
They haven't had firearms for decades and that's
extraordinarily foolish.
i knew someone that did
The other thing that has really spurred this on was the Nordstream pipeline, the loss of which meant a lot of cold days in Germany due to lack of energy. And in the middle of winter it isn't something the government can laugh off.
Here's hoping the German people cast off their chains. https://youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I?feature=...
I know they are intelligent people..
Why the Eff did they embrace the rantings of a retarded adolescent on energy policy?
