    The US is, what, 40% farmland and another 13% wilderness. Add to that the 13th amendment and the most imprisoned populace per capita?

    The US is absolutely an agrarian slave economy.

      It’s three failing historical empires in a trenchcoat. It’s wild how you can vaguely gesture to almost any terrible moment in history and find strong parallels to modern problems in the US and the world.
