    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 medieval peasant celebrating that your gout-ridden pedophile king has stolen the treasure hoard of another gout-ridden pedophile king.

    “My local oppressors are winning their game against their overseas rivals, this means I’m winning too!” Bro you’re not even on the team, you’re the ball.

      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

              One would arguably call that a strawman since I never brought up nor commented on the subject of genocide. That is, if I really was your intended audience.
