Fun fact: An oligarchy is when a tiny group of powerful people—like the rich and well connected billionaires—control everything, leaving the rest of us out.
Did you know 26 billionaires are running our world right now?
In November 2024, Forbes published an article titled "These 26 Billionaires Have Each Given More Than $1 Million to Elect Trump," detailing how 26 U.S. billionaires collectively donated over $1 million each to support Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. Despite Trump himself not contributing financially, his wealthy allies poured fortunes into his bid to reclaim the White House. Notable donors included Elon Musk, who gave $132+ million to his America PAC and other conservative causes, and Miriam Adelson, contributing over $132 million, leveraging her casino wealth to influence policy favoring Israel. Other key figures like Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein ($133 million) and Ken Griffin ($100 million) backed Trump for tax cuts and deregulation. These megadonors, motivated by selfish business interests and ideology, significantly fueled Trump’s campaign in a record-breaking $20 billion election cycle…

For cryin’ out loud, Boycott Everything!
These fat cats shelled out millions to help Trump, proving that money talks—and it might as well be yelling “America Last!” through a diamond-encrusted bullhorn.
While the billionaires are busy bankrolling AI ROBOTS and maybe sparking World War III, so far, only AOC and Bernie care enough to fight the oligarchy and help the rest of us.
The Game is Rigged!
And Trump? He’s a goddamn marionette, strings yanked by right-wing globalist pricks who’d sell your grandma’s wheelchair for a tax break. These bastards don’t give a flying fuck about any of us—the working class, working poor, elderly, or disabled—we’re just ants at their picnic. They rig the game, folks, so their billionaire criminal friends can sip champagne while we’re stuck eating the crumbs. That’s the scam, and we are the suckers!
WE MUST FIGHT BACK!

P.S. Please subscribe. I was doing great here in December but this recent health setback is ruining everything.
In a “dark time” indeed. It is difficult to decide who to despise more, the lowly, money-mad rich, or the dumb as bricks populists who vote for devils each election cycle as though that was their only option.
Canada better pay attention to reality, this can happen anywhere.
