MODERATORS
Farmers are a bit feared by authorities all over the world.
- access to bulk quantities of unpleasant biological products
- ability to create obstacles which cannot be easily removed with cop power
- ability to easily overcome obstacles created with cop power
- ability to go off road with machines, while cops can only do that on foot
- they're often quite organized too and protect each other
(Here in France) also:
- Heavily unionized
- Armed (there are a lot of hunters in their ranks)
And it is shocking how much more empathy the authorities have for them when they can't easily stop them.
Not all of the video is from France. Part is from Berlin (Germany), especially the first and second bit with the long line of agrar machines.
Tiergarten! Yeah, good luck seeing such an orderly protest in France!
