    Anyone who thinks farming is soft or feminine is ignorant.

    It was in fact the movement from plows and lathes to keyboards and screens that have created entire industries for men to express their masculinity in their free time. Men who load 16 tons of coal don’t go to the gym.

      Farmer isn’t “Alpha Male” because farmer isn’t the sort of career path that gives you power over others.

      That’s what these people actually want. Power over others. Or status over others if that’s all they can get, even nonsense racial supremacy bull shit.

      the point is more that no one is forcing these guys to become software engineers and go to the gym in their free time. They can do whatever they want for a living. But they don’t.

      Anybody who looks down on farming needs to stop eating altogether. They’re the kind who probably doesn’t even know the difference between salt or sugar unless it’s in a specific container they’re servant prepared.
