It's a dumb way of putting it, but the social effects of infinite "free real estate" is a good question. Setting aside that space colonization is more expensive than the benefits of it.
The US kinda was an example of Grimes's thought experiment irl, and the US became a massive slavocracy before running out of free real estate and becoming a global empire.
So the answer to her question is no. Lots of free real estate does not necessarily prevent evils like Naziism.
yeah it's like, what happens when you give a bunch of nazis all the resources and land they could ever want? you get several trillion nazis colonizing the entire galaxy.
It wasn't free real estate, Indigenous people fought colonization at every step and still to this day.
