Farmers in US & Canada have the right to sell anywhere. Indian farmers didn’t have this right before the new laws empowered them.

I hope #WorldSupportsIndianFarmers means it supports the new laws and freedom from State control which their farmers enjoy.

#IndiaRejectsPropaganda

Every day a new "explanation" is spun up to oppose the laws. Just plain spin and bs'ing.

Fact is that the laws are being opposed for a singular reason. To oppose the government, to agitate and to burn the country down.

What about the vast majority of farmers who are happy with the laws and not protesting? You want a few anarchists to hold them to ransom? Elections are the way to decide if people and farmers support the laws.

Survey from Oct shows that 52-48% even split of farmer support for new laws, but importantantly, the proportion of support is *higher* among small and marginal farmers.

Also of those who opposed, most did not know the details feared loss of MSP.

Survey from December showed that 73.05% of farmers supported the reforms and nearly 70% supported the freedom to sell outside regulated markets. Why is no one talking about this data?

@GadSaad on "virtue-signalling" describes the @meenaharris types on #FarmersProtests to a T. They do zilch, to protest policies in their country to help Indian farmers. But they do no cost virtue-signalling to score political points.

@PsychToday pulled his article btw. Too true.

Brilliant distinction between cheap virtue-signalling that costs nothing like that of @GretaThunberg or @rihanna or @meenaharris (Rihanna may even have made some $ from it, possible others also). But their BS burns lives in other countries. They couldn't care, smug in hypocrisy.
