The average person is essentially a nigger when it comes to intelligence. Yes, even the huwite ones. The jews are likely correct when their book says goyim are free game.

"Humans are cattle" is actually true, the fact makes retards and midwits uncomfortable but it's a fact regardless.

The woman is ignorant, but the question is not as stupid as it seems:
If you knew nothing about the food pipeline, it would stand to reason that corn and onions production is coorporatized like anything else, with people on the farm being mere employers who use equipement owned by the coorporation. Meanwhile, farming follows a different structure than most of capitalism, with a lot of farmers directly downing the means of production and selling their product to other companies.
That is to say, it's fair to misjudge and assume that "farmers" are only people working for niche farmers store and everything you find in the supermarket comes from a hypercapitalized production line without "farmers" in the common sense.

Why would living the comfy life not the best idea? Why suffer when you're given good food and stimulation. It's the smart move.
What's your out? Christianity? Superman status? Glory? Excellence? Nationalism? Knowledge? How do you explain the comfy life away, Dr. Faustus?

What? How is this different than normal capitalism?
Oh when you say farmer you mean the actual workers on the farms? Sorry but you are mistaken, most farmers just own farms and they fucked off to live in cities long ago, they just get rents on the land, that is worked by companies that dont own it. The actual workers are just called laborers, not farmers

Years back I was listening to a science podcast from UC-Davis. The host seemed pretty knowledgeable in her field but the co-host was a passive aggressive IFLS! type. One week they were talking about some astronomy news and it turned out that he had no idea that the Earth is the third planet from the Sun. The host was trying to be graceful in nudging him to the right information so he could save face but he just kept babbling on, completely oblivious to his ignorance. Finally she used a pop culture reference to '3rd Rock from the Sun' tv show to get him to finally realize his mistake, at which point the subject was quickly changed.
It's interesting when talking with IFLS! types how shallow their knowledge is about the subjects they claim to hold in high regard. If even the IFLS! types who make science adoration the central part of their identity can't get the most basic facts correct, how can the general public be expected to do so?

My dad used to have a big farm when we were kinda rich

nowadays he sells some bits of it and we live with that money for a couple of years (land is extremely expensive where i live) .

I hope he leaves me some bits so that i can farm and get away from industrial society. I unironically miss the fresh goat milk and the morning eggs

>anon, why don't you farm then

poor family and need some capita to be able to truly withdraw from society with my family and earn my living with the sweat of my palms.
Currently doing research in theoretical physics and moving humanity forwards towards its end because of basedence - I mean climate change.
