      The argument is that this is a new kind of oligarchy, using technology to destroy labour rights, workers unions and the like with total surveillance and so forth. Less American Gilded Age and more Cyberpunk…

        It’s a fascist oligarchy vs a democratic oligarchy.

        (Some aspects used to be democratically decided on even though the oligarchs gave the only bad options, now the oligarchs just do whatever the hell they want, tear things apart and dispose of their enemies in broad daylight)

      because his replacements are not recognizable. I don’t see the point of gates as well so I view them as basically apple and microsoft.

    We’ve moved past oligarchy into kleptocracy in the last few weeks.
