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
A business oligarch is generally a business magnate who controls sufficient resources to influence national politics.[1][2] A business leader can be considered an oligarch if the following conditions are satisfied:
uses monopolistic tactics to dominate an industry;
possesses sufficient political power to promote their own interests;
controls multiple businesses, which intensively coordinate their activities.
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
he foss hater msft boss whose name I can’t remember for sure.
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?
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
