You are comparing actions of people in Italy in the twenty first century to actions of textile workers of the nineteenth century?

That is a bit of the stretch.

In the case of the GM Maize hackers, they understand that the GM grain, being required to have Glyphosate sprayed on it, will lessen the fertility of the soil.

The end implication is that the GM maize is not able to develop and grow with the nutrition that conventional crops have, and as a result, it succumbs to fusarium.

Europeans have many more independent scientists, like those of the University of Caen, whose research is showing that the end effects on mammals forced to eat this crap may well be deterioration of major organ systems.

But who really needs their kidneys to function properly, anyway?
