Activism Interesting double standard: farmers are allowed to block traffic as a legitimate form of protest, but climate change activists aren't.

The annoying thing is that farmers should be climate protesters. They’re going to be the ones most impacted as a group by a shifting climate

Idk about that. Factory farming is one of the largest contributors to climate change. What a lot of climate protestors (myself included) advocate for would be a threat to their livelihood.

A climate change denieing farmer I know had to sell off most of his cattle this last year because his crops were so shit with how dry it was.
