‘One battle in a broader culture war’: Schoellhammer on victory for Dutch farmers

Webster University Assistant Professor Ralph Schoellhammer says the political victory for Dutch farmers is “one battle in a broader culture war” as the world still sees industrialisation as the enemy.

“It’s Avatar, it’s Lord of the Rings – the industrial guys, the ones with machinery, are always the bad ones, and the kind of noble savages who live in harmony with nature are always the good ones,” he told Sky News Australia.

Finally, a rare glimmer of common sense in the insane world of the 2020s

Australian farmers should watch up here, they’re next. If you like food, prepare to stand up for them when the moment comes.👍🏼🇦🇺

Claus Schwab singing the praises of Rutte should have been a red flag.

Rutte has to go. The Dutch people also need to have a serious debate on the future of the Crown that supported the people's destruction.

I hope they don't take the pressure off!

❤ Thank you for your courage

Next please ? ❤

[jonsnow]

Thinks they will carry on regardless .

[mrjohnnybond]

WTF more time? They just want to retire before their occupation is destroyed? I think this guy is a plant. He's from a university after all. Big red flag!

[jalapenoofjustice]

if you're selling this as a story of noble savages opposing machinery, you clearly don't know much about how dutch farms actually operate

[michellewilson]

Trust me y'all deal with government than anyting else. Do not let that mess it up for you. Your freedoms are at stake!

[lesleyweber]

It going to happen in Australia as well with labor in gov.

[humandread]

I'm Dutch, you are all fooled, the farms still have to go, nothing changed.

[werollins]

To sustain civilization some sacrifice between the utopian idealist and the realist is necessary.

[vernt]

I don’t mean to be negative but what about our population explosion???? Maybe some of the green people need to practice birth control??

[remyzandbergen]

Its not a victory though. This so called farmer party has a leader who lied so much. The FvD though is a party who even discusses the WEF. But voters fell for the name bbb which is translated farmers citizen movement. Smart move Klaus

[cornebod]

I love how they call it a victory for Dutch farmers and not the Dutch people😂😂😂 they all think food comes from the supermarket 😂😂😂

[BWo-bbyw]

The "HighPriests" of net-zero will strike back.
