Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

I guess it depends on whether or not you think Putin is an oligarch as he's seized power from many of them and placed it under himself, the same power under fewer oligarchs isn't better.

The wealthy definitely have too much control over the US government, and many of them should probably be executed for treason.

    If you're calling the person who occupies the political seat of power an oligarch I think you're stretching the definition too much.

    If Bill Gates were elected president would he cease to be an oligarch? If Joe Biden used his powers as president to take personal control over large portions of the country's industry to enrich himself would that not make him an oligarch?
