In this podcast we go back to a couple of old favorites to talk about.  In the Netherlands, Dutch farmers are protesting once again their government's attempt to decimate the agricultural sector.   They accuse their government of wanting to put a large number of farms out of business under the guise of fighting climate change in order to take the land seized and use it for accommodations for migrant workers.  Once those farms are gone, they and the food production capabilities will be lost.  They don't want to suffer the same fate Sri Lanka did, self-immolating itself in the name of high ESG scores.  An article in Rebel News talks about this new round of protests by the Dutch farmers and their supporters.  #Dutchfarmerprotest
In December of 2022, I wrote the following:  "According to Mattias Desmet in his book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, there are four conditions needed for a large-scale mass formation:  1. Generalized loneliness 2.  Lack of meaning of life 3. 'Free-floating anxiety and psychological unease.'   4.  A lot of free-floating aggression.  Leftism as a mass-formation depends on all four of these conditions being met to keep their authoritarianism going." Is there new attempt to fuel the underlying anxiety so to form a new mass-formation to replace COVID? From the LR Podcast vaults, let's review this episode from December of 22. 
What do authoritarians and would-be totalitarians have to replace the anxiety lost with the waning of the COVID-19 crisis?  Only it seems, the threat of nuclear Armageddon.  #massformation
