A “hypocrisy” type meme with two images:
Top: photo of a military squad, all geared up, standing ready next to an armored vehicle. Caption: “Germany against scientists sitting in protest for climate”
Bottom: photo of a bunch of military personnel playing while wearing clown makeup. Caption: “Germany against farmers wanting to lynch government members because diesel subsidy needs to be cut”
The farmers’ lobby is one of the largest and most influential in Germany. Farmers made an average operating profit of more than €80,000 in 2021/2022 and received a total of more than €40,000 in subsidies. So yes. Simply capitalist lobbying.
