That’s probably someone hired to work the farm by the multinational who owns the wheat field, the pesticide, the fertilizer, and the genes of the wheat they’re growing.

"Capitalism" isn't some self aware entity that you can blame all evils on. It's humans all the way down. And it's not even the cartoon evil type of humans; those are rare. Everyone responsible at each step of the way is terrifyingly ordinary.

If you just looked at prisoners and concluded humans are highly prone to violence, you would be missing the point.
