    “Daddy, why does everyone work until they die? Why is the sky filled with satellite debris? Why is the water poison? Why are there no more winters?”

    “Well, Daddy needs a paycheck because Daddy was prioritizing creature comforts and sold himself into wage slavery. Daddy’s been voting in favor of Corporatist entrenchment for decades. Daddy would rather have his Amazon Prime than be uncomfortable living without his consumerist devices to distract him from what his choices are doing to the planet.”

    “Daddy’s also been selling your eyeballs to advertisers since before you could form coherent thoughts because he’d rather let the iPad babysit you than be a real parent. Daddy’s too busy doomscrolling Pornhub.”
