“Très drôle, industrial revolution. We really love the stunning advancements in lung-clogging smog, horrific deaths due to getting run over by monstrous locomotives and getting diced to shreds in industrial factory machinery. We really love that toddlers have to work fourteen hours a day, phallic brick structures belch black smoke into our faces all day and those oh-so-chic neverending torrents of toxic sludge barfing into our waterways.
