What is the charge? Projecting an image? Projecting a succulent incriminating image?

Yup, also in other nations people have kids as literal insurance to take care of them when they get old.

My fiancé is from the Philippines and that belief system is cyclical, with tired kids having kids so they can be taken care of after burning out taking care of their parents

And it was turning around the question about the number of mass shootings in the US to focus on gang violence

Thanks Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to 20 grams per week

Agreed. Went to a banksy display in the Philippines early this year and having not engaged too much with the art, it became obvious that any of his pieces are now so meta that the scenarios you describe are basically how anyone addresses anything he does.
