Communists always love rationing. Food, energy, housing, travel. What is not mandatory is forbidden.

I hope the Oregon farmers follow suit.

If the commies in Brussels could starve out the peasants (a la Stalin) they would.

Control food and you control people. Communists are willing to let *millions* starve to death in order to put themselves in control of those who survive. The history of communism is full of engineered famines.

I admire the pluck of the European farmers, but the EU governments have the guns. Sooner or later they’re going to get tired of these protests and start shooting. It’s what they always do.

Do these so called elites think that their food is produced at the grocery store?
Piss off the people that produce what you eat....
Who thought that this was a good idea?

And that is EXACTLY where this thing is headed my friend. /preaching to the choir

Controlling the masses by determining if they can BUY or SELL - controlling food will be their main weapon - even "Omen II" got this part right - THIS is exactly why they don't want people growing their own food - they cannot be so easily controlled

They think it is produced “elsewhere.” I’ve asked this question often. They are happy for some 3rd world shithole to grow everything, without knowing, of course, that people in third world shitholes can’t even feed themselves much less a first world country’s population. They stupidly think they are helping third world countries by directing agriculture to them, again, not realizing they are raising cost of food production and starving people to death.

The French, Dutch, German, Belgian, and Irish farmers are largely unarmed. Our farmers and ranchers are not, The Feds cannot enforce similar regulations in this country without state help. California will be happy to comply with Federal “green” regulations as they are rolled out. That will be a problem for American fruit, nut, and vegetable production, much of which is concentrated in that state. Florida, most of the South, the northern Rockies states, and the Plains states will not.

You’re making a good point. These elites are living in an imaginary bubble of some sort. Going after farmers is a small part of the problem.

The elite majority are rich white people and they are purposely flooding their own countries with third world people for the exacting purpose of creating chaos and breaking down their own culture.

These jerk wads don’t realize if the culture is broken down into a third world status and the farmers are hacked to death as in Africa that they are screwed. It will be like Dark Ages where they have to live in heavily guarded castles.

Guns do no good when you have nothing to feed your soldiers. Less than 2% of Europeans are farmers. Ditto the USA. You’ll know the farmers are serious when they only plant enough to feed themselves. It’s coming because the Marxists genuinely believe they can wait them out. Very, very shortsighted on the part of the gubmint, but that’s nothing new.

Farmers will be fine. People who depend on them? Not so much, particularly if the farmers decide to only plant what they need. It would only take 10% of them not planting a full crop to cause severe chaos in the supply chain. Pissing off the people who grow your food is never a good idea.

It behooves us all to learn how to garden.

“It behooves us all to learn how to garden.”

People have no idea of the amount of work involved with growing and tending even a small one-quarter acre garden.

Which is why the government will work to make that hard to do, under the guise of environmental protection.

Self-reliance is a crime against the State.

Are you sure the elites are shaken? Street protests are simple decor for them.

It will take more than a tractor in the road to get their attention.

That’s right.

Every year I tell mr. mm that I sure am glad that we don’t have to actually live on what I grow. But it sure helps stretch things out.

I’m still working on onions from last year and was looking at my potatoes. They are starting to sprout and I’ll be pressure canning those that I’m not going to use for seed potatoes.
