    “Unlock” aka just steal like we did Afghanistan’s emergency fund. Well, if the US government wants to speedrun de-dollarization by demonstrating to the world why you shouldn’t bank with them, I’m not gonna interrupt them while they do it.

          ‘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 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?
