oligarchic

That was already mostly out the window, and it has to be all out the window now that Trump not only is an enthusiastic user of Truth’s top competitor but is in an oligarchic buddy-cop movie with its owner.

We are entering the third act, possibly the beginning of the end of representative democracy, but that too isn’t surprising to me given there has been a slow creep towards techno-feudalism and oligarchic capitalism.

“Instead of trying to identify a real-time crime syndicate, I invented the Mastaba, which shares with Russian oligarchic organizations absolute immorality, sexism and power wielded with no moral compass. Deciding it would have been part of Las Vegas from the city’s founding was easy, since Las Vegas was a city founded on criminality until capitalism and corporate greed managed to use the serpent for their own purposes.”

The ultimate goal is to enable oligarchic domination and facilitate financial looting by the uber-wealthy.

On Mr. Trump’s Inauguration Day in January, the Queens Museum closed its galleries in solidarity with an art strike called by hundreds of artists — including Cindy Sherman, Richard Serra and Louise Lawler — to combat, as the organizers put, it “the normalization of Trumpism — a toxic mix of white supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia, militarism, and oligarchic rule.”
