    Thread about the recent farmer protests in the NL >Parliament flooded with tractors >Doors rammed >Army deployed >Angry politicians This has had little to no traction outside the Dutch sphere, so Ive decided to make an English thread detailing the events on the 3 major protestspic.twitter.com/u7W3RWWPdz

        DAY 1 - OCTOBER 1 This day had been in the books of farmers for a while, but little attention was paid to it by the media. Most normies, including me, didn't know a large scale protest was coming until a morning traffic record was already broken. Tractors on all highways.pic.twitter.com/PnNb9B3ofi

        DAY 1 People woke up greeted with over 1200km of traffic The average amount is 6km. Note they weren't blocking the highways, they were just on their way to parliament, on their tractors. Despite initial confusion, I met nobody that day that was particularly mad at the farmerspic.twitter.com/iTygCE6mhJ

        DAY 1 Not much was told about their motivation in the media. The farmers gave harsh climate change and environmental protection laws as their primary goal, also complaining about being treated as lower class scum by media elites. The media ran with the latter.pic.twitter.com/d8D7FK4byt

        DAY 1 The goal was the Malieveld, a field near parliament. The government originally said only a few tractors were allowed on the field, which was later changed to 75. They had fences and security in place to regulate this.pic.twitter.com/GFlChD7rNE

        DAY 1 The deal with local law enforcement was that the farmers would park their tractors away from the city centre and be taken with busses to the field. Already a compromise, but the deal wasn't even met. Understandably angry, they decided to not honour their part either.pic.twitter.com/qafnRdYP9t

        DAY 1 Not much was agreed upon. Most leftists stuck to their policies. Most centrist and 'right wing' parties released statements supporting the farmers, but they were loose words and the strict environmental laws weren't changed. A new protest on the 16th was already planned.pic.twitter.com/duYxdPz6sz

        DAY 2 - 14 october (~2 weeks later) Inbetween the first day and 14 october various smaller scale protests happened, but on the 14th the farmers again went out in larger numbers. This time the goal was occupying the provincial houses, in an attempt to repeal the laws.pic.twitter.com/SW22gU9DHa

        DAY 2 Several of the less urban provinces quickly budged and repealed the environmental laws. The very diverse and urbanite provinces refused co-operation altogether. One of the most farmer-rich provinces was keeping out however. Groningen (top right) would not give a response.pic.twitter.com/APkacP0y5x

        DAY 3 Construction workers saluted them with their cranes, commuters honked their horns on their way to work, they have an approval rating above 80%. Compare this to non-grassroots Extinction Rebellion, which gets broken up by the public if they block a road for half a minute.

        DAY 3 The message this day was the same. Repeal the strict laws against farmers, and respect the farmer. A very apolitical message it would seem. Still, the divide was clear. Left wing politicians like Green Party leader Jesse Klaver were not liked.pic.twitter.com/f94msIMQsf
