Business As Usual
Caption:
spoiler
A "hypocrisy" type meme with two images:
Top: photo of a military squad, all geared up, standing ready next to an armored vehicle. Caption: "Germany against scientists sitting in protest for climate"
Bottom: photo of a bunch of military personnel playing while wearing clown makeup. Caption: "Germany against farmers wanting to lynch government members because diesel subsidy needs to be cut"
Which farmers though? As with most german agrar subventions they support large-scale industrial farming while not really benefitting smallholders.
The reasons for the cuts to subvetions are stupid (fuck the debt brake) and they only make sense if they are in tandem with new subventions for ecological farming and direct smallholder support. But as a farmer that is no reason to let your self be used by lobby groups which for years have lobbied for policies which eradicate small farms. The rising production costs are going to be transfered to consumers anyway.
