Don't disappoint me, Dutchies. Over the past couple of years, I've been through the French, Hong Kongers, American Right, Australians and Canadians revolting against their government, and every last one ended with jackboot-neck and nightstick-ass action. This time around, I want to see government members cowering in public. I want to see the apathetic/dismissive public starve, to truly appreciate the people who are in the fields from 6 - 6 every single day, rain or shine, to feed their ungrateful sacks of shit. I want the police to be humiliated. I want the little guy to rip the head off the big guy, once and for all.

That is because the population refuses to escalate, you can already see the police walking around waving pistols at these farmers, whom are unarmed except for their tractor which is not an armored vehicle, its DESIGNED to have has much visibility as possible so everything is glass in the cockpit. When the Summer of Peace kicked off what do you think the politicians feared more? A bunch of boomers waving flags or this:
History teaches us that until the peasantry get pissed enough to the point where they're disassembling state security forces they get nothing done. You have to crush the government forces and make the parasites terrified for their life before they are willing to cooperate. The boomers that made a run on the capitol building came close to understanding this dynamic but they didn't bring weapons. I expect that discomfort will be high enough during the 2020s that somewhere in Europe or North America that people will make a serious play at a real revolt but for now, no way. These Dutch farmers are going to spin their wheels endlessly roaming around at a very high expense since diesel is insane right now until the police figure out how to isolate and confiscate their tractors, effectively bankrupting them. The police don't fear these farmers, and as such the government doesn't, you bring the rifles during these kind of protests or don't bother, the era of getting relief from Western governments via making a lot of noise is over, they're completely corrupt to the core and respond onto to bribes or force.
Shame, people are going to be forced into famine conditions because of the idiocy of these people, but perhaps its for the best since you can see ingrates in that Reddit thread advocating for their own destruction. Maybe they should get culled.

What gets me about all this is that we have a literal fucking ongoing example when clueless government bureaucrats interfere with the basic nuts and bolts of modern agriculture, namely Sri Lanka.
They think the farmer's protests are bad? Wait till there's no food on shelves due to it not existing at all.

Absolutely. Several times in the past 2 - 3 years, we've reached the point immediately before "critical mass", but no-one is willing to cross the metaphorical Rubicon and go all the way because they know, deep down, their lives will never be the same from that moment on. Someone needs to step forth and be prepared to sacrifice their livelihood for everyone's future, otherwise it's a slow burn for all of us.

The thing is that the Netherlands are the biggest exporter of meat in the EU. Most of those farmers aren't crop farmers but animal farmers. You don't need meat to keep your population fed. but what does create shortages are blockades of distribuition centers and highways. While a court had ordered that the group Farmers Defence force who blocked distribuition centers pay a fine of 100.000 € (this was from 2019) I wonder if they will again order these fines. Let's not forget how the Dutch acted when the goverment came down with covid restrictions in late fall last year: there were violent protests in response. Maybe that is the reason why the goverment is currently holding back with any heavy handed response despite some politicians and lawyer calling for actions.
and just to be clear the actions the goverment wants to take in order to reduce the relasse of emissions most notably ammonia would mean that some regions could never again be used for farming. Let that sink in: you own land but you won't be able to use it ever again. You would basically become dependent on the goverment for having money in your bank. And imagine if some one thinks "well we need to save money let's stop the payments".

But it's being done entirely on purpose.

It's being done on purpose, yes, but you'd have to be both spectacularly retarded about both human nature and history to not realize the end result. You don't get to engineer a brave new world. You get to either flee the country or go into hiding once the rank and file police and army realize that they too have families to feed and either stand down or join the lynch mob.

No it's not. I live in EU and hadn't it been for this site I would not have known.
Apparently people have called the media in my country and they get no reply on why it's not in the news, just sweeping excuses and general cluelessness about if this is even happening.

In some countries it is in the news. Even on the title page with big words like "blockade, death threats, civil war"

There was that one story about how clueless they are, when they handwaved away somebody's concern about how they can maintain their bodyguards' loyalty when it all goes to hell. They are utter midwits.

If you want to see any real revolution you need civil war and division among the “elites” as I am loathe to call them that.
Peasant revolts have historically failed because there’s no lasting power structure and a few well placed middle managers, politicians, and CEOs in position to shit on the rest, even if it’s for personal gain, will be more than enough to turn the tide. I think that’s why I got excited about Trump in the first place. You want this division and break away.
But then again the Dutch have been eating their own prime ministers historically so who knows.

well this isnt realy a peasant revolt, its more of a rural revolt. they, like the germans town near by have also a 1000 years of democratic rule at a local level.

You need farm animals to have productive crops, where else are you going to get manure? Every single thing the farmers do is recycled back into production in some form or another. The modern agri-industry is extremely efficient while dealing with a dual mandate of not allowing themselves to compete the entire industry into insolvency, subsidies are designed to keep grocery prices at acceptable prices for consumers while also giving enough leeway for farmers to turn a profit, it also helps the industry to leave fields fallow for a number of years to replenish the soil.
