Earlier this month, the people of Sri Lanka showed the world what real insurrection looks like. The reason: they’re starving. The cause: disastrous farming policies enforced by that country’s government, ostensibly to counter “climate change.” President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s ban on chemical fertilizer has brought biblical famine to the land, with food prices soaring 80% and more. Protestors swarmed Colombo, stormed the presidential palace and torched the prime minister’s residence.
If only the madness was confined to Sri Lanka. Rajapaksa wants to replace far superior synthetic fertilizer with manure and return to “all natural organic” farming. But he is far from alone. Throughout western Europe this summer, farmers have furiously protested similar fertilizer policies. Farmland is being pillaged, entire herds of livestock are being decimated, and not surprisingly, crop yields are being wiped out. Meanwhile in Canada the Trudeau government has announced that fertilizer use is to be slashed, in a move that is angering provincial leaders.
“Environmental”-minded progressives are eager to bring such enlightened farming to America. I cannot but be reminded of Ma Chalmers in Atlas Shrugged: she who damned American grain production with her theories about soybeans. Or worse: the “agrarian utopia” that the Khmer Rouge imposed upon the people of Cambodia in the 70s. That mad socialist experiment murdered two million people, mostly by starvation, and if anyone complained there was always torture and execution.

Proof that Karl Marx was a chump, a fraud, a huckster and a con man.
Do the rich taste like chicken?
Coming soon to the U.S.?
And then does that not make is fully legal and right that American citizens demanded access to Congress on January 6?
I am always split on this strategy of attacking the person and not their ideas, but Marx lived off his father in law his entire time married to his wife. He couldn’t bother to work and provide for his wife.
The workers will be slandered by the media, then arrested and put up on charges like what happened to the truck protesters. Canada is now full on fascist.
Of course it is. It's a "climate emergency" after all. Biden just has to sign an executive order and he'll have us using cow manure. Or worse.
It does kind of seem like we are reaching a point with climate change that we have made all the sacrifices that we can without causing too much harm to ourselves. The progressives and environmentalists are now having to justify some really debilitating sacrifices that will cause severe hardship for everyone except the elites. This is the point where backlash is imminent.
Looks like the Dutch, Irish, and other EU fools are going to try it, but I’m sure it will be different this time.
White people are a lot less patient when they’re hungry; ask Nicholas II or Louis XVI.
This whole concept seems like something dreamed up by Pol Pot.
