I wouldn’t go that far. Protests can absolutely be used to subvert true opposition by funneling it via astroturfing and similar fake campaigns into ineffective channels.
Absolutely,valid protest is valid. But it’s not the act of protesting that makes someone right. I understand the farmers in that they get a tool taken from them that saved them a lot of time, and they probably have long term contracts with the companies selling that stuff. However they are objectively wrong to push for a product that is this harmful.
