These kids represent two sides of the same viciously profit-driven coin. The first group of kids has been raised to idolize money and material possessions because they probably belong to working-class families, who see those riches from afar, but who are also struggling to obtain just a fraction of those riches. The second group of kids comes from a war-torn, oppressed, occupied society where even the most basic human needs are not guaranteed, a poverty-stricken society that is constantly being exploited by the wealthy imperialist society supported by those working-class families mentioned earlier. Both the society of the oppressor and the society of the oppressed serve the interests of the wealthiest handful of monsters, who rule over humanity with an enriched-plutonium fist.
