All the comments in this thread are replies to someone who seems to do exactly that by defending farmers "visiting politicians their homes with torches, threatening them and explicitly their kids, blockading highways with burning rubble, blocking highways with asbestos, using their tractors to rip out doors out of government buildings." by saying "I mean placing the blame for climate change on the backs of Dutch farmers was absurd."
- naasking 4y agoOk, but one HN comment is not a misinformation trend throughout right wing media, per the parent comment.
- donkeyd 4y agoHere's an example about the misinformation campaign that's happening in the US about the issues in the Netherlands: https://youtu.be/IUGwT8irPKc https://youtu.be/IUGwT8irPKc This video is full of blatant misinformation and misrepresentation. Our current discussion is not about climate change, it's about acidification and that's it. No matter how true your comments may be, it has nothing to do with the situation in the Netherlands and it continues the spread of this misinformation. Please stop, it's harmful.
- naasking 4y agoGood to know, but I don't see why it's harmful. Here in Canada they're also contemplating nitrogen fertilizer bans for reasons of climate change, so it's not like this argument isn't being made.
