Thousands of people hold protests in Tirana, Albania against the surge in the cost of living and government corruption. Take a look:
OK, the meme is probably bullshit.
Hard to imagine that any tractor could actually get into an air force base. It's fun to dream about people taking power back from the oligarchy though.
Hitler's press blacked out the Dutch resistance. Now "our free press" is doing it again.
Farmers in the Netherlands are fighting back against the WEF's vast push to starve us all into compliance (and a diet of bugs, fungus, weeds, fake meat and other shit)

I’m told by a good friend in Delft that her own mother, who lives there, did not know that the farmers in that country have been up in arms against the globalist campaign to crash the global food supply, starting with Europe—an effort that she also hadn’t heard about, until her daughter told her.

Huh, here is another similar one:

Netherlands farmers solidarity protest today in Ottawa.
Not all states and farmers are amused.
Even tribal nations are saying no.
‘Only a tribe can speak for a tribe’: Q&A with Native conservationists on Biden’s 30 by 30 project
Mongabay News, 22 July 2022
Starting in June, 40,000 Dutch farmers took their tractors to the streets to protest their government’s proposal to slash nitrogen emissions. For some farmers, this plan will mean culling 95 percent of their livestock. For others, it will mean going out of business altogether, hoping to sell their land to make ends meet — with the Dutch government as the only buyer.

🇳🇱 Trump speaks out in support of our farmers. This is amazing. And he’s 100% right.
"They want to get rid of the cattle because of what it does to the globe. Half of your cattle they want out. You'll be next."
The Only Way These Globalists See to Achieve Net Zero Is to Destroy the Food Supply: Alexandra Marshall
"There's only one way to achieve Net Zero, according to these people, and that's to basically destroy your agricultural industry. Not to shut down transport, not to maybe rein in the sprawl of cities, but to destroy the food production of the country.
And that's going to be very nifty when there's a surprise famine in the world. They can claim it's because of climate change and give themselves yet more power. So whether or not they screw up a country, they still win in some way, and this is not good for people."
I think they mean the energy required to create nitrogen-based fertilizers, and that that energy is provided by burning fossil fuels which emit CO2.
What do they mean by "nitrogen emissions"? Nitrogen gas is most of the atmosphere anyway.

Now THAT would be insane.

Dutch farmers touch off a worldwide revolt
The European Union and ‘green’ governments are playing with fire ...
Yet as the farmers got louder, more and more citizens joined up. Fishermen blocked many of the nation’s ports. The country’s largest festival, with around 220,000 attendees, cheered in support of the farmers. Average Dutchmen used their vehicles to block the streets alongside tractors. Nationwide solidarity formed around the farmers.
After Dutch police shot at a 16-year-old protester in his tractor (the teen was thankfully unharmed), the farmers only got louder — and the world listened. Even without mainstream media help, they’ve garnered worldwide support. ...
Farmers around the world heard this call and answered. Cars blocked roads as far away as Argentina and Canada. Italians mobilized into Naples, accusing their government of spilling the blood of farmers. Peruvian farmers marched in Piura against their own government’s policies. Spanish farmers deployed throughout Andalusia, saying they’ll emulate the Dutch if fuel prices and interest rates continue to rise.

That long? Problem is, in the current climate of virtue signaling followed by obligatory Satanist inversion treachery and lies, a massive amount of revision of past 'truth, science, history and knowledge' are necessary. Literally have to re-process with new filters. What a pain in the ass.

Anyone get voted out or recalled?
Sounds like nitrogen fertilizers react with the soil and release nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and nitrous oxide.

“We always talk about how carbon dioxide and methane contribute to greenhouse gases, but nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide for its global warming potential,”

The largest emitters of nitrous oxide are jet powered aircraft, like the ones that carry the globalists to Davos every year.
Something is happening across the world right now, something that deserves more attention than it’s getting.
First, to the Netherlands, where farmers have been protesting, blockading roads with their tractors and staging enormous rallies. The demonstrations have been going on and off since 2019, when the Dutch legislature proposed a crackdown on nitrogen emissions. Nitrogen is heavily emitted by livestock and fertilizer, which means the regulations are hitting Dutch agriculture especially hard.
But it wasn’t until July that the protests garnered international attention. The Dutch government announced plans in compliance with a court order to cut nitrogen emissions by 50 percent. This change was so radical that it’s estimated it will put one third of all Dutch farms out of business by 2030. Hence why the farmers are so incensed: they’re literally fighting for their livelihoods. And while their government is obviously to blame, many of them perceive a more sinister hand at work: the World Economic Forum, whose crackpot Great Reset scheme hopes to radically remake the global economy in the aftermath of Covid.
The shame of it all is that the Netherlands is an ag success story. The bite-sized Western European nation is the second-largest food exporter on earth, after only the United States, which is 237 times larger. In a sane world, this would be celebrated, studied, copycatted, as experts warn we need more food production, not less. And all the more so since, as Michael Shellenberger points out, Dutch farms aren’t using any more nitrogen-emitting fertilizer than they were back in the 1960s.
Yet cut to two wokesters griping about farm pollution while they munch on beef sliders. As usual, this is more about bourgeoisie obliviousness than good policy.
Speaking of not knowing how stuff works, we turn now to that brainless flibbertigibbet up in Canada, Justin Trudeau. Never content to let a bad idea go to waste, Trudeau has ordered that nitrogen emissions in his own country be slashed. This prompted Canadian farmers to take to the streets of Ottawa last weekend in solidarity with their Dutch brethren. More protests are expected to follow as Canada’s agriculture stares at its own existential crisis. ...
Once, the left-wing heart throbbed to the drumbeat of global revolution, rushing to stand in solidarity with a grape-picker, a footstool, anything. Today, that same left has become the classist oppressors they once loathed. Meanwhile, conservatives find themselves in the strange but increasingly comfortable position of throwing in with the workers of the world. What lies ahead? Let’s just say you never mess with the guys who grow your food.

Dutch Farmers are in revolt:
Interesting timing to restrict agra output right during an inflationary crisis, eh? Particularly on foodstuffs?
