    How about nazis and other extremist hate groups, terrorist organizations, organized crime and drug cartels, human traffickers, rapists and serial offenders, cult leaders, corrupt oligarchs or kleptocrats, rogue military juntas and death squads?

      most of those fall under wealth bootlickers :3

      hate groups? benefit the oligarch by dividing people, and directly suppress normal people that struggle for mankind’s benefit.

      terrorist organisations? the definition of ‘terrorist’ is someone other than the state who commits violence to sow fear. And if the fear is in the rich, are they then the problem? The definition is iffy.

      organised crime? are people who organise lgbt readings in russia, organised crime? i think this definition is too vague.

      drug cartels? yes, if they’re drugs that don’t help people’s lives, and commit violence against innocent people. They then benefit the oligarch who plays out people against each other.

      human traffickers? if they profit off it, use violence, and don’t have the goal of helping refugees find a safe home from state violence – then they benefit the oligarch, cus they profit.

      rapists and serial offenders? yes, these benefit the oligarchs, literally just look at Trump and Epstein.

      Release the Unaltered Epstein Files, Trump

      cult leaders? Yes, they work to subject people to leadership. Fuck that; liberation is no hierarchy! No gods, no masters. Organised religions work together with oligarchs to subjugate people.

      oligarchs and kleptocrats (the ‘corrupt’ can be left out since it’s synonymous); the root of all evil. These only ever seek profit, profit, profit. They will not stop until the last person has been coerced into the killer machine of capitalism. Once the last capitalist and authoritarianist is dead, the world shall be liberated.

      military juntas and death squads? (rogue, again, here is synonymous) These also benefit oligarchs by making it easier to manipulate a people, through just a few leaders. And these kill people at random for fear, making them actual terrorists, as opposed to people who kill the rich.

        Not to mention that a lot of negative societal consequences are created as a result of actions by the very wealthy, not just actions that happen to benefit the wealthy.

        Any time someone complains about drug use, or the violence stemming from it, thank the billionaires that funded it and paid money to avoid some of the consequences.

        Neo-nazis? I sure do hope that no billionaire buys a social media site and explicitly shifts its algorithm to display more neo-nazi and far right sentiment while bribing people to vote for a neo-nazi!

        Even a vast chunk of all crime in this country is going to be as a result of people’s poor material circumstances, caused by billionaires not paying enough to individuals and to social services. The majority of people shoplifting don’t do it because it’s fun, they do it because they don’t have food to eat.
