The global farmers' protests are now several months behind us and nothing has changed structurally. We still have to take note of how certain institutions such as the European Union are actively targeting food chains and the production of agricultural goods. Always with the argument of their climate rescue plan! Now it was the humanists at the World Bank who launched the next wave of attacks on our food production with a special proposal.

The 'experts' of the World Bank have suggested sweeping changes to global agriculture to meet "net zero emissions" goals. This proposal aims to centralize farming operations, which critics argue could drastically cut food production and lead to widespread famine.

The report claims these changes will help feed a growing population sustainably, but skeptics warn that reducing agricultural output could have dire consequences. Axel van Trostenburg of the World Bank argues that transforming food systems is crucial for reducing climate emissions and improving planetary health.

However, the plan's critics highlight the risks of such a centralized approach, pointing to the potential for economic disruption and increased vulnerability for the poorest populations. They argue that localized, diverse farming practices are better for the environment and food security.

The World Bank estimates that achieving these emissions targets will require annual investments of $260 billion, promising over $4 trillion in benefits. Yet, many fear that these ambitious plans overlook the complexities of global agriculture, potentially leading to food shortages and economic instability.

Well, at least the sovietization of agriculture has never been tried before anywhere so, who knows!

That's what I was going to comment.

Are they too dumb to learn or are they just evil?

reply

It's not evilness nor stupidity, is not even greed alone, we all have that impulse. It's the absolute power that has been placed on them by the people. People demands from them to be overlords, and they gladly comply. It's impossible for them to be hold accountable for any wrongdoing, they are fully supported by the entire state apparatus, and any socialistic movement is met with appalling political success. What other thing could happen? I have even seen politicians on those spheres moving along with the soviet trend even against their own will, for they understand the consequences, but because it's the only thing politically viable. My greatest lesson in my years in politics is that a stupid population gets what it deserves, no more, no less.

good perspective. thanks for the contribution. thinking about it...

reply

I was just being glib, but I appreciate the thoughtful response.

I'm all in, too. Love these parasites

reply

It's especially perverse when you recognize that carbon emissions improve agricultural efficiency. They're undermining agricultural productivity in order to achieve undermining agricultural productivity.

And now try to explain this to NPCs in normie land

Trust me, I’ve tilted at that windmill plenty of times.

I feel sorry. I threw the towel years ago

reply

I get it, especially in Europe.

The fact that I have more official credentials on this subject throws people off.

Sometimes their reverence for credentials overrides their reverence for approval opinion and I manage to get my point across.

reply

if you have European acquaintances, try to talk to them about Bitcoin. or try to sell them capitalist ideas, the free market economy or personal responsibility as the highest principles.

reply

This might be telling, but I can’t think of any European acquaintances, other than a few who immigrated to America as kids.

I can easily think of a bunch of colleagues from everywhere else in the world.

reply

Isnt a lot of produce being used in weird ways?
Like corn that produces more ethanol?

reply

You mean they are not transforming it into alc??

reply

They are.
But what is the point of using ethanol in cars?
Just make them more efficient.
Use the space to make sweet corn or something else instead.

reply

They are attacking food supply with their climate bs

reply

Not only their climate bs, lots of their regulations.
And their subsidies.

prepare for global Holodomor
