    “Kleptocracy,” the desperation to avoid any interrogation of liberalism has popularised so many terms like this. I wonder how they make sense of it being a Kleptocracy now and not when all the fed reps were insider trading at the top of the COVID pandemic, or when like, the military was privatised.

        Oh, my bad, people of course always explain in clear words what they mean and why they mean it, I should have remembered that. Discourse analysis is for sjws and people who abuse unemployment insurance.

        I wonder if there’s source that refers to the US as a “kleptocracy” or “oligarchy” during the Iraq War, and what it would mean if that term only appears in public discourses prominently after a different, later event even though the Iraq War is such an obvious demonstration of what these terms are meant to criticize. Even further, why aren’t they just saying, “liberalism?” How curious!
