That corporate supremacist/oligarch trope about democracy being

Last edited Fri Mar 22, 2024, 03:19 PM - Edit history (1)

"Two wolves and a lamb voting for what to have for lunch" flips logic on its' head.

*Sheep; greatly outnumber wolves, and numbers are a sheep's primary defense.

A wolf's power doesn't come so much from their numbers as their cunning and teeth.

When you get too many wolves and not enough sheep, it all crashes, even the wolves go hungry.

*If you believe that you're not a sheep, try doing 1/1000th of what *rump has done to the nation and not end up in prison.

that MBS will look out for them and make sure they don't go hungry, at least Jared and Ivanka won't need to go on food stamps.

That's the good thing about being a global oligarch, it's a relatively small, intimate group where everybody knows every other body's name and they look out for one another during the hard times.

It's kind of like Walton's Mountain and Cheers put together.

But the problem with playing King of the Hill all the time is that it never ends and only one person can be on top.

Meanwhile the mountain is on fire.
