(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

The question I keep asking my conservative family is, "When do we start to be concerned, at what point do we call them Nazis?"
They never will. Recognizing yourself as part of the problem is something humans are terrible at. To them, we who question their antics are the problem. When they started shipping people to a second contration camp, they asked no questions. The media is showing them no pictures or giving any information really. The prisoners have been cut off from communications, and stuffed into a camp with no real legal protections. Many of them are migrants from Nepal, Russia, China, Afghanistan, and who knows where else. How long will they be held, unknown. We know of at least 300 they moved and threw into a camp in the jungle and 16 returned home. So that leaves 284 that we know of that the UN is trying to figure out a way to find safe harbor for. That number is likely to only grow as we ship more people out. Costa Rica may be a 3rd location but I haven't seen much information about it. Why? Because the oligarchs don't want the people to see more information, or ask questions about whether they might be supporting something wrong.
It's scary to think this kind of conversation is very similar to ones people had in 1930s Germany. Some people realised it was all going downhill quite early, some never admitted it was happening at all.
Wasn't it like mandatory at some point to salute everyone you met in Germany, a simple walk from office to the bathroom was exhausting

So if you don't have a sling on hand...
