Would you still feel that way, about the very first part, if I was to remind you that some of the Russian oligarchs were crime bosses who took power and wealth by force?
Admittedly, it doesn’t have the hereditary rule part but that, for me, would simple fall under “the difference is the passage of time.” I see it much like the difference between a cult and a religion.
As a British person, I had a few awkward conversations with other British people when I’ve asked them to explain the difference between a royal or a higher level aristocrat and an oligarch.
It seems to be something to do with the length of time society had to endure their bastardry. Well, it’s either that or that they’re not from the Oligar region of Russia. Its one of the two.
Thats because things like congress or a parliament are made, specifically to shield power from democracy, through the pretence of democracy. Its aristocratic rule. Although the same net result as the US, the UK is clearer showing how it works. We had a barrons revolution in 1215 and they’ve been in charge ever since. We just changed who the barrons are and what makes someone a barron.
Even the ancient greeks had that one figured out centuries ago.
The system is working exaxtly as intended.
Hard agree. They gutted the electoral commission while gerrymandering like crazy. They have an army of right wing boomers brow beating anyone they come across into the ground with their “the two parties are identical in every single way” BS (all claiming to be left wingers while doing so, of course). If labour had been betting on things, using insider knowledge, there would be arrests already. The Met police went to the most secure and videoed place in the country (10 downing street) and lied, telling the whole nation that there was no evidence of the parties they were having during lockdown. Etc etc etc.
The very wealthy people and powerful people they represent won’t go quietly, if at all, and they have no morals.
They were half serious and an elaborate ruse. You see, I dont actually subscribe to neoclassical ideology. Crazy huh? Aren’t words wild?
All the people who understood what was going on and voted on it. Youre the only person who’s had a problem here and needed it all explained to you, in little bits. Just you, on your own.
As opposed to a big man who calls people a coward from safely behind their keyboard? Grow up.
No, i thought you had poor social skills and, as such, I couldn’t be bothered with you. I said what I though would make you go away. Although, it turns out you’re were even more bitter and poorly socialised than I thought you were which is really saying something.
Youre right about one thing at least, although you didn’t say it directly. Much like everyone else in your life I, should’ve just ignored you. I won’t make that mistake again. By all means, feel free to reply and scream into the void. It won’t be read.
Lol sure, as you can tell from my comments here, I was being deadly serious the whole time.
Youre the one who got all weird. Everyone else could tell I was joking around. I even let you know my intention wasn’t to be rude and that it seems to have been taken the wrong way.
You’re the problem here.
I definitely made one but it seems to have come across wrong or rude. That wasn’t my intention.
Lol exactly, no one.
The first rule of colonisation is to make the colonised pay for their own colonisation.
So close: “tax breaks, for the rich.” If poor people stop paying tax too, whos going to pay to enforce enforce all the exploitation and wealth extraction done by the rich?
I think you know as well as I do that your honesty and integrity in describing how people are being fucked over by this process excludes you from neoclassical economics. Its always easy to catch out the fakers.
I mean, how am I supposed to justify tax breaks for the rich with that?
Its okay, as I neoclassical economist, I know exactly how to fix this issue.
Tax breaks for the rich.
Ask me to solve any economic problem, I have the answers.
We have courts for that and intent is very much a factor in nearly all cases. So, its not like its something alien that they couldn’t cope with.
To me, if anything, it would add to the weight on a conviction, as the requirements to meet it would be so high.
*ACAB, in their capacity as cops.
There might be repercussions, if we get caught though.
I mean, you can break any rule, law or agreement without facing repercussions, if you don’t get caught.
Breaking it in any way means you will likely have to pay back any money they gave you immediately.
Personally, I would consider that to be a repercussion.
I mean, who else other than your last employer would it be with?
