Angry farmers block Dutch highway but don't get fined. Because... they had covered their licence plates 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦 The police: that's illegal, but there was little we could do about it "given the situation" 🤡 The difference with the treatment of XR climate activists doing the same on foot is striking. https://www.rtl.nl/nieuws/binnenland/artikel/5634951/boeren-blokkeren-snelweg-met-tachtig-tractoren-maar-krijgen-geen

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy Dutch farmers think they are the victims I live in a rural area with a lot of professional farmers. When I see them in their massive machines driving onto their massive farms I can’t help but think… do they have any idea that the machines they drive alone are worth more then most people will ever get their hands on, living on a massive farm with multiple building while I can’t even stretch in my home Farmers are not victims, they are not poor and I don’t have any remorse

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy in Germany, there would have been physical action and huge fines for not properly displaying the license plate.
