German farmers block roads nationwide (VIDEOS) Protesters have rallied against austerity measures that Berlin introduced

Farmers all over Germany are rallying for a week of protests against government austerity measures, which they fear may leave the agricultural sector without support and force farms to shut down.
Thousands have flocked to Berlin and other major cities to protest the cuts to diesel subsidies and tax breaks for agricultural vehicles introduced by Chancellor Olaf Scholz last month as part of a broader package intended to plug a multibillion-euro budget deficit. Among other things, farmers plan to stage blockades on motorways and travel in slow-moving convoys.
The farmers had already staged a mass protest in Berlin following the announcement in mid-December, forcing the government to partially roll back the planned measures. For instance, Berlin agreed not to abolish the preferential tax treatment of agricultural vehicles, and postpone diesel tax break cuts until 2026. However, protesters say the government’s concessions were not enough, and are calling for an ‘Action Week’ of daily protests nationwide from January 8 to demand a full reversal of the proposed cuts.
“This can only be a first step,” Joachim Rukwied, head of the farmers association DBV, said regarding the partial cancellation of the cuts, pledging that farmers would protest the government’s plans “as the country has never seen before.”“We demand the complete reversal of these tax increases without any ifs and buts… I expect that tens of thousands of tractors will come to our rallies all over Germany,” Rukwied told Bild news outlet.
Many fear the protests could paralyze transportation across the country and pose a threat to public safety.“Not every form of protest helps the cause. This applies to striking actions as well as to tractor blockades. Anyone who oversteps must face consequences,” Herbert Reul, Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, told the Rheinische Post, warning the demonstrators not put their own interests above public order. His comments came after a group of some 100 farmers blocked German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck from disembarking from a ferry last week.

TOO **** LATE.
WASH DC terrorized 20% of their cheap energy which caused this recession. They will never recover.
Guess what - ****'em, they are getting what cucks deserve. And **** the EU. Let it crumble

Neoliberals want to gut those same subsidies and "preferential tax treatments" that those people are protesting...
They're done UNDER left pretenses...but the end goal is to increase the profits for (((A SELECT FEW))). In fact, I would say the same about almost every major social initiative these days. The "left" pretenses (social equality, economic equality, etc.) is just the window dressing.

Agreed but that can only occur by breaking the leftist political hold over the western world .....Sumela » 08 Jan 2024, 12:30 pm » wrote: ↑ What Germany needs is to stop being a WASH DC vassal *** state.

Id say its the NeoLiberal WASH DC Empire that has this hold.Majik » 08 Jan 2024, 12:34 pm » wrote: ↑ Agreed but that can only occur by breaking the leftist political hold over the western world .....
THE VAMPIRE. The Empire of Chaos.
There are no "allys", there are only vassal states.
There is no Orban ANYWHERE in West Europe.
95% of the EU "leaders" are CURATED trannies that
only serve the Empire.
Respectfully....Sorry, dear sir, but.....**** THEM ALL. They made their **** bed.

But would you not say that the NeoLiberalism of today is mostly driven by the extreme left and in the hands of extreme leftwing politicians of the western world ....?

You've been calling for a "deep recession" for over a year on this forum. If I listened to you, I'd be broke. But, at some point there will be a recession. So, keep trying. You'll eventually be right.Sumela » 08 Jan 2024, 12:28 pm » wrote: ↑ Tough Guy Skanny. Tiny Brain Skanny. MeatHead Skanny.

Traditionally the right represented people who wanted a restoration of "older regimes" (monarchists, reactionaries, aristocracy, etc.)
The left represented the more radical sectors of the labor movement (Socialism, anarcho-syndicalism, etc.)
I would not categorize an ideology whose goal is to extract as much value as possible (esp. through the finance sector, but also via schemes like the "Green" economy you mentioned) from the (((G0YIM))) as "extreme left"...but that's just me

Overnight losing 20% of your energy will do that.
Poor Skanny - head swirling again.

I agree with your assessment but I also must remind you that the average citizen of the western world has no influence on what their government's have done and are doing which are mostly against the will of the majority of their citizens .....Sumela » 08 Jan 2024, 12:41 pm » wrote: ↑ Id say its the NeoLiberal WASH DC Empire that has this hold.

And really ....all it takes to change this is a massive political upheaval lead by those citizens and it has already started in Europe.
The question is when will North American's rise and follow suit?

No one gives an F- about Germany. When their recession gets bad enough, they will go on a mission to kill all the Jews and Russians.

If you still have faith in that, then God Bless you brother. You have much more belief than I.

just admit that you don't have a clue who your real enemy is .....until you wake up in the morning and look into the mirror.

and Yes, I do....
I have travelled the world extensively and have seen with my own eyes that people are mostly the same everywhere ....The same hopes, same dreams and same ambitions .....
Most just want a peaceful life , prosperity , a family and the Freedom to enjoy their lives.
We forget that our corrupt government's and their political policies are rarely in the citizen's best interests and almost always in the best interests of the few.
We forgot that we hold the power over the government's and not vice-versa......
Everything they do nowadays is out of fear .....of US..
The people waking up one day and bringing these corrupt governments down. ..

Which side will you be on when our farmers and ranchers rise up against the government ?
and they will....
