The Dutch farmers are revolting

The Dutch farmers are revolting.  The government, following the ideological lead of the World Economic Forum, has said that it is necessary for one third of the farmers to be thrown off their land because their farms are producing too much nitrogen and carbon dioxide and are helping create Climate Change.  So Dutch farmers, who are enormously industrious and efficient food producers, out of all proportion to the size of their country, are objecting by blocking the roads at points of entry at the borders and the ports with their tractors.  Despite the army being deployed and the police shooting at them, they are not dispersing.

Unlike the Canadian truckers who did much the same the Dutch farmers are in control of the food production and distribution system.  Shelves are bare for the Dutch consumer.  It is possible that once the bulk of the Dutch citizens get hungry enough they will demand the government or the farmers back down.  I’m betting the government will be told it needs to go.

The whole world saw the result of Trudeau’s actions last year and can see the how the future will go if they back down.  Coincidently the Girly Man of Ottawa has come out with a similar rule for the Great White North, we’ll see what happens next; nothing much, I’m betting.

So what about the US?  Americans are just as capable of reading the tea leaves and we can see where things are going.  Why isn’t the U.S. rising?  Will the American Republic end with a whimper as we are crushed under the heel of the Revolutionary Puppet Junta?  Ishmael over at the Market-Ticker-NAD has some ideas about that.

There is some untapped rage in this country right now. Properly motivated, these individuals could form a potent army. Yet right now it’s still not enough to change anything.

Why?

For starters, not everyone who’s angry is on the same side. Let’s limit it to whoever is roughly on our side. That’s still a huge number of people. Antifa and BLM manage to draw in enough to burn a city block down, why can’t the “leave us the hell alone” contingent gather like this and accomplish anything?

There is no follow-through. No one believes that people who like civilized order will burn anything down. There is no reason to listen to their demands. Despite every conservative repeatedly bleating about consequences, there never are any. It’s mere finger wagging.

Why hasn’t our side meant it yet?

One reason is people still have too much to lose. They have families, houses, jobs, reliable food, and utilities. These folks did the calculus and concluded being a lone wolf has too high of a cost. Fair enough, nobody wants to go to jail. These people are unlikely to rock the boat and throw all that away for no gain.

Another reason is no clear leader has emerged yet. Not the fake operations that are so clearly government created that the glow is visible from outer space, I’m talking about a legitimate movement.

The rest of this guest Ticker explains a third reason.

The short answer is: the wrong half of the country is enraged.

Yes, I said half and I mean half. 50%. One out of two. The number is not hyperbole. No, it’s not Karens. They don’t make up 50% of the population, their constant meddling makes them seem more numerous.

Here’s an example of a Karen from Northern Virginia. This is a direct quote from a news article at the time this guest Ticker was written. She is “concerned” about guns.

“I’m scared when I go to the grocery store,” Jessica said. “I’m scared when I drop my children off at school.”

Jessica is a liar. She is not scared. She is not terrified. Oh sure, she might make noises on social media about how awful gun violence is, but she doesn’t care other than being quoted for political points. How can I state this unequivocally? She’s done nothing about it.

Notice how Jessica thinks somebody else should keep her kids safe at school. It never crosses her mind that she is responsible for her children’s safety. If she were truly scared, she would pull them out and homeschool.

Jessica has no rage. She is pouting. Somebody else better do something, or she’ll pout (do nothing) some more! Rage gets things done.

You cannot turn those such as her into an army. This is why our side keeps losing.

Americans will not get off the couch until 50% of them, the women, are angry. Not pouting, full on rage. The level of fed up where they are willing to pick up a gun and kill every mother fucker in the room.

Men have been motivated by making women happy throughout history. Every single modern invention has made women’s (and men’s) lives easier. Think of all the labor saving devices that exist in a kitchen. Not to mention thousands of restaurants if taking three steps from the stove to fridge to mixer on the counter is three steps too many.

Good men want women to have easy lives. Their wife, daughter, niece, grandma, aunt, and friends are all important to them. Only a psychopathic monster wants anyone they care about to suffer.

Everyone’s lives, including women’s, have been far too easy and safe for too long. Many forget or have never experienced walking around with their head on a swivel. What kind of man wants the women in his life to live like this?

When women are truly threatened, their rage rises. What will the loving men in their lives do when they are? The men solve the problem. The livestream will be awesome.</blocThere is some untapped rage in this country right now. Properly motivated, these individuals could form a potent army.

Ladies, how say you?
