Radicalized by conspiracy theories, some activists see the farmers in the Netherlands as the latest victims of an assault on Western civilization itself.
AALTEN, The Netherlands — Erik Luiten seems an unlikely person to be fighting a conspiracy to destroy Western society.
The tall, affable and soft-spoken man is more likely found tending to 150 dairy cows at his farm in the windswept green flatness of the eastern Netherlands. A sixth-generation farmer on this land, he knows the name of each cow and that of its parents. The vast barn echoes to pop classics, including “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley.
“There has been research on what music cows like best,” he said with a knowing grin, “and it’s not classical.”
Luiten, 52, is a national organizer in a campaign to stop Dutch government plans to potentially shut thousands of farms in order to reduce harmful nitrogen emissions by half by 2030 — a plan that critics say will change the country’s huge agriculture industry forever.
This grassroots protest movement has been driven largely by ordinary farmers like Luiten and their supporters, but it has another element: the far-right. Radicalized by the opposition to strict Covid measures and spurred on by conspiracy theories about “globalists” dismantling national democracies and importing nonwhite immigrants to majority-white countries, these activists see the farmers as the latest victims of an assault on Western civilization itself.
As conspiracy-driven Telegram groups, right-wing commentators and some lawmakers would baselessly put it, Dutch farms are being shut down to make space for asylum-seekers. Right-wing populists around the world have offered their support for the farmers’ stand, including former President Donald Trump, France’s Marine Le Pen and Poland’s far-right populist government.
But, in reality, many Dutch farmers are just trying to make a living.

Their agitprop has become increasingly feeble.
Yup, our most intelligence-challenged profession once again goes through their standard repertoire of bull-Obama and word masturbation.
If there’s a problem, it’s from the “right wing”. Oh well, one has no choice but to laugh, because what else can be done with folks who believe that they know “science” when they couldn’t take batteries, wires, and a light bulb and make light.
“ But, in reality, many Dutch farmers are just trying to make a living.”
So of course shutting them down makes perfect sense.

“Dutch government plans to potentially shut thousands of farms in order to reduce harmful nitrogen emissions”
It’s not a “a global right-wing culture war.” It’s a a global left-wing culture war. And any conspiracy that might be involved is from the likes of the WEF and governmental offices.
So, eating is now a “right wing” activity. Got it!
Agreed - and why would anyone label wanting to have FARMS and FOOD as ‘right wing’ thing? ...unless the left wants famine....but I digress.

A good start, but needs the phrase “far right” more.
The amount of gas in this gaslighting could power The Netherlands for years.
(Radicalized by conspiracy theories)
Oh my!!!!!!
😮😲😱😱😱😱😳😳🙄🙄🙄
Toss in a few more “baseless conspiracy theories” as well.
Dutch farmers are my heroes. The legacy media is junk and propaganda.
“As conspiracy-driven Telegram groups, right-wing commentators and some lawmakers would baselessly put it, Dutch farms are being shut down to make space for asylum-seekers.”
The farmers are only angry at being shut down because their farms will be used by refugees???? They would be OK with it if the land was used for something else?
Notice, the article does not show any damage done by supposedly "harmful nitrogen emissions".
Yes, too much nitrogen released into confined bodies of water will change how many plants grow in the water, including algae. That can be a problem.
But that is not shown in the vast majority of Dutch farms.
It’s part of the same depopulation move that the WEF actually talks about openly.
“WEF Adviser Yuval Harari: ‘We Just Don’t Need the Vast Majority of the Population’ in Today’s World”
“Now, fast forward to the early 21st century when we just don’t need the vast majority of the population,” he concluded, “because because the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology, like artificial intelligence [and] bioengineering, Most people don’t contribute anything to that, except perhaps for their data, and whatever people are still doing which is useful, these technologies increasingly will make redundant and will make it possible to replace the people.”
It’s not far-right to prevent mas starvation. It’s far-left to cause mass starvation.
“and spurred on by conspiracy theories about “globalists” dismantling national democracies”
Never-ending communist propaganda agency constant use labeling those who speak out against the establishments agenda. This is not a conspiracy theory as the conspirators are openly discussing what their plans are to force the people into subjugation.
There are people that actually believe this cr@p.
“Radicalized by conspiracy theories”, like what?
Food is necessary for survival?
Sam Brinton is a freak?
Children shouldn’t be watching drag queens at school?
There are 2 genders?
Windmills are stupid?
Hunter Biden is a drug addict who likes hookers?
