If we work together we can stay one step ahead of the orphan crushing machine!

What, you mean like crushing orphans ourselves before anyone else has a chance to?

I may be wrong but I like misinterpretation when the alternative I propose sound a little more accurately descriptive of what's happening IRL.

Orphan Crushing isn't the elimination of orphans. It is the opposite. The crushed are the parents who die from a corporate totally-not-slavery-technically literal crush of their life on any degree en masse. It sounds like it removes the life of the orphans and while it does not preserve them, it does inscrease their population to buff that which may be exploited with little consequence.

I was just thinking this fits right in with OCM!

I reckon the orphan crushing machine and the torment nexus are the two core technologies that define modern society.
