The MSM is unfortunately bought out by the corrupt 'elites' themselves (Soros, Gates, etc). They are very well aware of what's happening and what they are hiding/lying about

If the MSM did its job, people would see how bad things really are. There's never a mention on evening news about all the protests going on world wide, just more 'prop Biden up', telling us what wonderful plan he has to handle whatever the current crisis is.
If if people can't put their finger on the cause, most feel something is very, very wrong. C19 feels like step one of a plan down a path leading to nowhere good. They're still resistant to the information sites like ATS uncovers, having been programmed to see us a whack-a-doodles, but the know somethings up.
I don't blame people for not wanting to learn more about what's happening in the world than the evening news shares; it's not something you can un-know, and loosing their comfort zone isn't an option for a lot of people.
People might be more sympathetic once store shelves are empty. Did you even look into why these farmers are protesting?

Just because some farmers and fishers get cranky doesnt mean the country is in a state of revolution. Most people hate farmers. I sure do. I just checked and only 2% of the Dutch population is employed in agriculture. %$%$ these people - they dont matter.
Also - someone should shoot them for blocking the road. People are trying to get to work ffs. Who do they think they are? Blockade Australia? Black Lives Matters? What is with these jerk protestors blocking traffic anyway?

Then come to Germany right now, switch on every available news TV channel, every radio channel, open every damned presstitutes newspaper and be rewarded with exactly zero information about these events. Not everybody is using the internet to get his news, especially older people don´t do this on a daily base.
so a Reuters, Bloomberg or whatever article in english is not very helpful for older people who only speak dutch or whatever language.

You got some valid points with some i agree.
But the reduction in emission if we close down all farms is not gonna help on a global scale.
Not when in countries like China and India just dump the waste into the rivers.
I don't believe in all the "change starts with you" crap not when i live in a country with 17 million people and the big polluters are living like there are a 100 spare planets laying around.

Anyway enough here say from me and you, do you think all those farmers would be protesting on mass if the new rules were fair and doable?
Or do you think pig farming is some kind of money making racket that needs reigning in because a bi-product is fertiliser/compost which is essential for plant growth?
Is there any evidence it produces run off into waterways except in heavy floods? Or is someone telling porky’s?

I did not watch the videos, but if it's true that 50% of the farmer's have been shut-down , that's insane!
Reminds me of 'de honger winter' (hunger winter during WW2)
Good on the farmer's for fighting back.They are sure to have support from everyone , once they see empty shelves!

Real science says that more than ten percent of animal protein in your diet is courting bad health outcomes. Five would be more ideal. When the Nazis took the pigs and cattle from Denmark in the second world war, the incidence of heart disease and blood pressure disappeared for the duration of the war, as soon as they came back it went back up again. But you must be free to choose as an informed decision not have it forced down your throat.
Researchers have discovered that despite meat-heavy diets, low levels of good cholesterol and high levels of inflammation, an indigenous South American tribe has the healthiest hearts ever examined — and it might have something to do with parasites in the gut.
“It’s kind of an exciting paper,” said Ben Trumble, co-director of the study and an assistant professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University and affiliated faculty in the Center for Evolution and Medicine, “because for a long time we thought pre-industrial groups had lower levels of heart disease. The Tsimane have the lowest levels of plaque in their coronary arteries that we’ve ever seen.

no the highways and distribution centres are about to be blown up slight difference

Clickbait title, police shot at a farmer vehicle attempting to ram or drive over the police.
These vehicles can pancake police cars and people.
Besides shutting down highways and distribution centres it's being blown up.

Actually ...
it is mainly about pigs. Currently, there are about 11 million pigs being grown in the Netherlands. Their waste contributes (along with other sources of farming) at a rate of 70% to all human produced CO in NL. So far, farmers put the waste into the ground, and, given the small size of NL, you can also imagine that the nitrogen of this waste is increasingly polluting the soil and make it harder to refine drinking water. So far, quite a few of this waste was transported to Germany and dumped there on the fields in the border region - polluting the soil there also (I don't know, but probably the same happens with Belgium).
But anyway, it is believed that the new laws that came into effect now will reduce the pig export in the NL by 300,000 (from a volume of 6,5 million), which is about 5%, some experts go as high as 20%.
So ... it is not about not raising pigs or not doing farming, it is rather about cutting back what has grown too much. Bad for the people who are effected (though the government has put up hundreds of millions of Euro to make a change less painful), but to continue would mean that even more people could potentially be affected (eg. by the soil pollution) once.
And, to raise another point: It is possible that this change will better the conditions of pigs raising, eg. give them more space to roam, etc. - and for a better quality meat, farmers might be able to gain a higher sellling price as well (which actually happened in Germany after the supermarkets have banned meat of the worst raising conditions from their shelves).
I do understand the environment problems and I do, as well, understand the farmers concerns. But like I said, too much is too much and therefore, I see an appropiate reduction of pollution as being justified.
