They keep bringing up that he was a father. Okay, what about the countless fathers who have died due to corporate greed? Do they not matter?

It’s exactly that. We don’t matter because we aren’t in the club. The peasants are just supposed to do what the regional lords want and die in the wars they cause. We aren’t supposed to see through the bullshit. Thats why they keep wages down and make us struggle so we don’t have enough time to think about anything else.

There's a song by Stupendium called The Fine Print, it's written about a game (I think fallout, maybe? I don't know, I haven't played the game it's based on) but the lyrics themselves are just to perfectly pertinent to modern capitalist society, with the upper echleons designing and organising civilization in such a manner as to maximise their profits, with the prolatariate working for the express purpose of being able to afford a place to sleep between shifts with no money to actually go out and generate an economy further than menial labour for the profit of monguls already set up in business.
