Making profits for doing something useful and not overtly harmful is commended. If you provide a needed service, and you do it without harming others, then everyone is happy.

But there are many, many, many examples where the harm is very clear. This is one of those cases. The only reason 53% (supposedly) of the Dutch population support the farmers is because they don't know the full story.

If I come into your neighborhood and do something which gives me a big profit but screws you and your neighbors, should my profit-seeking be commended? Or should we evaluate the real cost?

Making profit is not evil but, making profit at the cost of everyone is always evil. I am glad that people perceptions are being changed. We all should strive to meet sustainable goals.

But making huge profit in the tech sector is rejoiced, as seen in the likes of Apple, Amazon, Google.... and the list goes on. But farmers are seen as leeches for wanting to be paid for their labor.
