      ‘Civil Asset Forfeiture’ and it’s a good thing it’s finally being applied to some oligarchs.

        The oligarchs that run my capitalist shithole have stolen money from the oligarchs that run another capitalist shithole, and the dumbest of the common people in my capitalist shithole, where the water is routinely toxic to drink, are celebrating as if it’s somehow a win for them too.

          That explains it. You don’t know what it’s like to live outside of a shithole. How could you? Every time an oligarch is taken down, it’s a win for society.

            That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

            A) There is no society. Margaret thatcher said as much when she started mass murdering poor people with a pen

            B) Actually no, its bad when an oligarch get eaten by another oligarch and not by the people, because then you have one oligarch with twice the power and no competition. You’re like a dirt-covered peasant celebrating your gout-ridden pedophile king’s vague victory over another gout-ridden pedophile king.

            “My local oppressors are winning their game against their rivals, this means I’m winning too!” Bro you’re not even on the team, you’re a farm animal like the rest of us.

              So you consider Margaret Thatcher to still be an authority. Since you argued that less Oligarchs is worse, then what is the adequate number of Mega-rich oligarchs you want to live with?

                  So we come back full-circle and now you agree with me. Less oligarchs is better and the only way to ensure that there are less is by nationalizing and reappropriating their assets.

                  It’s not my fault you don’t understand how to formulate a coherent, and logical argument without resorting to name-calling.

                    If oligarch A has 1 genocide, and oligarch B has 2, if oligarch B takes oligarch A’s genocide, how many genocides are there? Please see me after class
