  That’s how you know we’re all living in oligarchies masquerading as democracies. I mean, the rich and powerful in “democracies” get away with literal mass murder and ecocide, and the worst they face from the state 99% of the time is a slap on the wrist that’s 1/1000th the profit of their crimes.

  The only time oligarchs fall is if they fuck with other oligarchs, or to protect other oligarchs. How many hundreds/thousands of pedo’s were ignored with Epstein and Maxwell taking the fall?

      I prefer kakistocracy. Fits the whole thing rather than just the theft. Image
