Guys, I don’t want to alarm everyone, but the proles are getting restless. Not to worry though, I have a cunning plan- we’ll just hand out Google Cardboard VR goggles and Second Life subscriptions. They can’t see the environmental degradation if they’re too busy cranking their hogs on a virtual nudist furry sex colony!

If it is, I really wonder what their reactions were in revolutionary situations when they were on the literal chopping block
