    You crazy

    You only need to feed your own family, not export

    Yes, that’s the labor necessary to feed one’s own family under traditional subsistence farming.

    You think grain sows itself, weeds itself, protects itself from animals, harvests itself, gathers itself, threshes itself, and stores itself for the farmer, who can laze their days away in the warm sun?

    You think pre-modern farmers were out there fucking watching their children starving to death in a famine every decade or two because they were busy playing the fiddle instead of trying to grow and store as much food as they could, year-after-year?
