Whenever these hot trends show up, you're only seeing when it hits peak popularity. You need a comparison to see how it is permeating society. Unsurprisingly, it appears very few people are searching for this compared to the general population.

It changes if you switch "what is an oligarchy" to just "oligarchy"

this is worse. you understand how this is even worse...right?

So it is bad if people do google oligarchy and it is worse if they dont?

This is a binary criterion. If both possibilities are bad, then good or bad is not correlated with this criterion.

People knowing what oligarchy is, so few people have to Google it, is worse? Why?
