    Good point. I think “oligarch” is more accurate.

      A tale as old as time. Rightists aren’t original, which is why their media/comedians/movies/music/religions are terrible.

      Fascists cannot grow without co-opting leftist language. So yes, very worried.

      Edit: not related to this shitpost. People here seriously need to watch Prager’s content. They twist our shit up with their crazy.

        It’s also a very clever and awful propaganda strategy. They misuse words with important meanings until they become useless reactionary buzzwords. Like how woke, and politically correct before it, originally meant “to be aware of the unequal treatment of minorities in society” and “politicians should be aware of how the language they use affects people,” and now they both just mean “anything that I, as a conservative, don’t like.”

      Nope, because they always will. Leftist language builds credibility then conservatives adapt it to spend it all. It’s a well established cycle.

    I’m not even sure whether or not this is satire and I’m not going to give Prager the page visit to see.

      Why is this downvoted?? PragerU is trash

      Edit: it was 1/2 nor 20/2

        You know how every politcal poll has a few percent of responses that don’t make any sense? Like a person who identifies as atheist, but also says the church should play a greater role in government?

        Sometimes, random downvotes are like that. Don’t get too worked up about it.

        But mentally deranged trash. So not everyone will see it as such. Which is weird, but humans are better at not believing regular trash than they are at not believing mind bogglingly stupid trash…

          Maybe I misunderstand, but just to clarify: I assume he didn’t mean “satire” created by PragerU but as in satire created by e.g. the onion. So to see if the post was real (or fake/satire) he’d have to visit their insta which he didn’t want.

          Oh I know, make the heads teeny like they can barely handle consciousness let alone be valuable intellectually at all. HEY! and make the arms and legs big, like we wanna say “you’re only good for the labor you can produce”. It will be a hit with this new generation , I just know it!

      But the hands are all the bigger to reach deep into everybody’s pockets.

      They just keep stealing. Denying that POC encounter racism and discrimination but acting like billionaire is a dirty word and we should call them POM? Wtf? Fucking reactionaries.

    Prager feels like The Onion, but it’s not, and it’s really sad, but also funny.

    They’re calling it “financially paired” now? Republicans really will do anything to avoid calling it gay marriage…
