The USA turning into Russia and China.
Y’all, who do you think owned the news media before this latest batch of billionaires owned it? Who do you think it owner it before them?
Hint: the rich have owned the news media in Western countries since before the fucking Opium Wars. It’s been this way since China was a peasant country and Russia was a Tsarist feudal society.
WTF gif
Quick, let’s vote for Hillary Clinton!
Plutocracy
Factually incorrect. All of them are worth $0 at best.
It’s been a problem ever since the Industrial Revolution, which oligarchs supplanted the aristocracy while class conflict remained. There were attempts at changing the status quo, or overthrowing it and replacing with a different system, there’s so much discussion and debate, but actual success of the masses – if we must have inclusion of those oppressed regardless of race, creed or faith – has yet to be seen.
One thing is for certain: this time peaceful and legal options are starting to be exhausted of their energy, as the moneyed enemy isn’t going to yield easily.
I love this style of artwork on old political cartoons
Of course it is. And is also about oligarchs giving orders to the media they control to not call them by that name.
The US has been an Oligarchy for quite a while now.
Amongst other things that’s why Bernie’s campaign to be the Democrat candidate was torpedoed directly by the DNC so that Hillary “I got a cool half a million to give a speech to Goldman Sach’s traders” Clinton got the nomination and then proceeded to lose to none other than old-money multi-millionaire Donald Trump.
I mean, it’s pretty obvious even before since Reagan the Hierarchy Of Power in the US has in many all things had Money as a higher power than Democratically Elected Administration - or in other words, the inverse of the order that it should be in Democracy - and that has extended to pretty much all things since.
The US (and several other so-called “Democratic” nations) hasn’t had Democracy for many years.
No one is going to lend me money with a paltry $0.65 on my bank account and the prospect of a week of going to be bed on an empty stomach for dinner as collateral, though
When the hell did Musk get to 800?
This is nuts! I blinked and it happened
If one ship cost is one bilion dollars(Elon once bought a yacht for one bilion dollars) he could fund all ships for Achaemenid Empire for Battle of Salamis.
Battle of Salamis with super yachts!
There’s a word for this: It’s called Gleichschaltung
Yes, now realize every establishment Democrat is also paid off by these demons too. Grassroots progressives or RIP the system, I have no other choice.
If you’re playing a game by the rules your opponent not only writes, but also actively breaks, and cheats, you’re going to lose.
Tried to get you there twice bruh , but nah. Something something something Hilary Clinton. Between her, RBG (should have taken the outski in a non election year) but whatever. And unfortunately Kamala who was dealt a shit ass hand by the standing powers that were. I find it very interesting and somewhat difficult to come to terms with. It sounds like low grade misogyny. Always blame the woman. Hell Krusty Gnome even got lateralled and taken off the job. When the task gets difficult ,scapegoat a woman. Why the hell not? Unfortunately, and I say this as I shake my head. I think this may very well be the most accurate indication of some male projection. That is when confronted and called out. Just an observation. Not writing a thesis or dystopian sci-fi novel. ’Nam Sayin’?
I think I miss context and reading comprehension because I don’t understand this comment. Help.
I don’t think they are worth anywhere near that much, personally. Maybe in terms of dollars but certainly not to society…
Eat the rich.
You remember the Turducken craze? TIme for a Mubezuckison.
bernie is a fucking failure and i don’t really care what he says
Elaborate?
Even with elaboration, I don’t see how one could blame the bastion of common sense for this.
