I literally live in a village. The only protests in my country involving farmers feature the national flag as the main insignia.
Protesters are by definition a self-selected group. They’re not representative even of the groups they claim to represent. To meet actual farmers you have to go out and find them in their daily lives, such as at farmer’s markets.
You can also find many of them on YouTube where they make videos about farming and farm life.
I told you I live in a village
One village.
Yes, I don't simultaneously live in several villages.
Yeah so you have a great perspective on the farmers in your village but that won’t generalize to all farmers everywhere.
It's not about my village, it's about the particular interests of farmers. Farmers are landowners who profit from selling their prices on their market and employing as cheap labor as possible. They're, by definition, petit-bourgeois, and therefore have the interests of the petit-bourgeois class in their favour. For example, if minimum wage goes up, profits of farmers go down because they're employers, not workers.
