Even a city boy like me gets why this is a bad idea.
Even if farmers are not "our sort" old boy.
The ruling class always used to get it, even while robbing farmers.
I’m one of those people who grow our food. I don’t have any rage and neither do the farmers and ranchers I know. We just want the government to leave us alone and let us live our lives. It’s actually very peaceful out here on the farm. I heard the doves cooing this morning, the bird of peace.
These idiots don’t care or even understand the correlation between rural food production and city grocery stores - I am NOT exaggerating. Surely you have seen the newspaper column where a woman was against killing animals for food, when you could just go to your local grocery store instead!
And this is not the first time the city vs. rural has been used to create division and Communism; Pol Pot took the city folk and forced them into the fields and the rural people he forced into the cities - it is believed 2.25 million Cambodians faced starvation due to their inability to produce enough food to feed his revolution!!
