All dissenters are now right wing extremists.

EU FARMERS ARE NOW LABELED AS DANGEROUS RADICALS

GLOBAL WAR ON FOOD PRODUCTION ESCALATES

We are now witnessing the shift of European governments into authoritarianism in an attempt to stifle any dissent to its policies. We have seen the Dutch farmers protests against the banning of the use of nitrogen fertilizer and even the destruction of their agriculture by the government buying up farms to end farming in their country. This trend started in 2019, but has now spread across much of the EU with more restrictions, taxes and regulations that is intentionally making farming impractical as a vocation.

The latest is the German government now removing the exemption from tax on agriculture fuel, much like in the U.S., were off road fuel for farming, mining and excavating is not taxed with road use taxes. Can we soon expect to see the same ideas here in the USA. The environmentalists claim such exemptions are now government subsidies, just like some in this country oppose property tax exemptions for farming. These protests are now spreading across the EU were these policies are often originating in Brussels. Rather than listen to the concerns of the farmers, they are now labeling such protests as right wing extremists.

The governments in the EU are openly now banning political parties and speech, that do not share EU values, especially concerning out of control immigration. The European Union began as a free trade agreement in Europe, the European common market, actually a good idea, it has now morphed into a central government overseeing  and deciding on the social, cultural and economics of the entire union, all from EU central government in Brussels. 

We see these polices growing in all the western world and any dissent is quickly labeled as extreme. Of course protests by environmentalists and others who favor more government control are praised for their courage.

The reality is that western governments have actually taken control of most of the means of production by regulations and government penalties for nonconformance. The twin areas of food and energy, the essentials of human life, are indeed the present target. Complete control of food and energy is the key to ultimate power. Everyone needs it, and if they need to depend on government to provide it, it is the ultimate leverage of any authoritarian government. Make it expensive and scarce and only government can insure you will get a portion. 

The result of these policies can only decrease the production of food and increase its unavailability and increase its price. Just that reality will bring a new and larger segment of the population into unrest. We can expect they will soon all be labeled right wing extremists who need to be silenced or even eliminated.
