Human Farming...using humans as commerce; owning other humans
It's very easy to see an analogy of religions, governments, and corporations involved in treating each other like commerce.
This has existed even since ancient Egypt and still exists today----why?
This world seems to be an oppressive repetition of villans, pirates, slave masters, and religious guru's that shake down and fleece the flocks. It's continual. They sheer the sheep while minimally feeding them.
