Whenever I read about protesters slinging poop, I am irresistibly reminded of Democrats, whom I've called the "Party of Poop" ever since the Bush era, when they were mailing poop, throwing poop, pooping poop, and generally bringing it to all their efforts, real or imaginary. Looking at the state of Democrat-run cities in 2022, nothing has changed. But in Holland, it's entirely possible that throwing poop really did have an effect. The farmers did it to protest a draconian climate edict, and now, the radical agriculture minister behind the push has resigned.
Over the summer, Dutch farmers began to protest radical requirements for cutting nitrogen emissions on the farms. In a massive protest, more than 40,000 farmers blocked roads with their tractors and ended by pouring manure (always plentiful on farms) on government offices, surrounding streets, and even the police. That protest may have had some effect, because the radical minister of agriculture in the Dutch government has resigned — and not voluntarily:
The Netherlands' agricultural minister Henk Staghouwer has been forced to resign following widespread protests from Dutch farmers over his radical climate agenda that seeks to destroy their livelihoods.
Staghouwer was leading the Dutch agriculture ministry's climate policy that involved confiscating farms in a forced government buy-out scheme.
In the wake of the huge protests from farmers, Staghouwer has now been forced to step down.
He told the Dutch cabinet that pushback from farmers had meant he would not be able to meet a September deadline for rolling out the government's radical green policy, the AP reported.
The climate agenda involves cutting nitrogen emissions from the nation's farming sector to the point where it made it impossible for farms to continue operating.

You noticed that Staghouwer isn't giving up on the whole plan. He's just resigning because he missed a deadline. If the farmers stop now and rest on their laurels, they may as well have saved all the manure to fertilize the teeny little garden patches they'll have when they're pushed off their farms. As of now, there's no indication that the Dutch government has learned from the debacle in Sri Lanka when Lysenkoism ruled, and the country ran out of food.
It’s a very murky picture right now the government dancing around with the energy mess looming as winter sets in.
The farmers haven’t seen the government capitulate yet.
can the people burn the manure for heat? cause they may need to.
Schwab’s Great Rest slowly dissolving away?
Europe is about to have a very rough winter and these green hacks are still bothering Dutch farmers?
agricultural minister has that much power???
Honestly, those Holland farmers have my permission to start
lopping of heads over there. This is pure insanity, and
it must be stopped now! IF that becomes the law of the land,
everyone on the planet is doomed to the whims of these
suicidal maniacs.
EVERY bureaucrat has as much power as the people will let them have.
I saw the collapse of the Great Reset as soon as their plans for Covid Passport failed.
Now energy prices are killing their Green Energy plans.
Too bad our Congress threw all that cash into their laps.
guess they took it back then
The WEF should be declared a terrorist organization.
...missed a deadline.
