Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Most farmers (who aren't farm hands/workers) in the imperial core are essentially petty bourgeoisie. They have the same class interests as the ruling class.
So, in the UK they have special ancestral bullshit about land ownership, and agricultural land is extra special and has all sorts of tax and inheritance gimmees that the oligarchs use to do oligarch things.
They dont 'have the same interests'; its literally the same people.
The same way american farmers are, by area, mostly corporations, but scammier
100% of the farmers in this protest are petty-bourgeoisie. They are protesting because the changes are likely going to force them to sell their farms, these sales will go to much bigger farms.
What's happening is essentially the petty-bourgeoisie being squeezed by the bourgeoisie.
Oh yes definitely, but don't they have some invented mythology and folksy pride to them?
Have they all just beocome indistinguishable from finance worms and the other standard ghouls?
Well you see they get a lot of money from the government and they're all massively in debt as long as they don't sell their land, but if they do they're millionaires, but they don't, so that means they're working class
