I hate that argument. Most food production in the imperial core comes from like a few highly industrialised corporations ruthlessly exploiting cheap labour from eastern europe. We' re not in 1800 anymore where "the farmer" is just some humble person selling their produce on the local farmers market. And even if they were it wouldn't make them immune to progress
Holy shit, so much propaganda is wrapped around the idea that a “farmer” in the modern day is a kindly old white man tending to his fields and not some landed gentry millionaire who has immigrants doing all the real work under the table.
