I mean the term oligarch has a clear definition that differs from billionaire, but to be honest pretty sure many billionaires meet the criteria...
Quickly from wikipedia
Edit: also this smells a bit like tankie propaganda pointed towards liberals and conservatives
So Elon musk is one I guess
Gates, Besos, Zuck and the foss hater msft boss whose name I can't remember for sure. I honestly have no idea if Elon meets the 1st requirement - though simply being the richest man on planet highly hints towards it
No idea who's the granpa at the front
You already said Gates
LOL yeah, but meant Steve Ballmer
If I had a nickel for every time Microsoft created an oligarch I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Pretty sure the old fart is Country Kitchen Buffet or something like that.
So is the reptilian who founded facebook
Time to dust off the guillotines
More than just a bit.
What purpose does the propaganda serve if it presumably hits across the board?
You thought the murderous oligarchs that have stripped Russians of a chance for a democratic society are bad? What about Warren Buffet!!?!
Yep. It's important to acknowledge the shit western billionaires do, but this kinda whataboutism is meh
