    That’s a very navie perspective… Owning land is more indicative of aristocracy

    German oligarchs for example are mostly Nazi nepo babies and their capital was entirely or in part a result of slave labour among other crimes.

    Canadian oligarchs are like either:

    I own your entire province and everything inside of it

    or

    I own every company in this sector, try to escape me :^)

      Genuinely Scotland had to join the United Kingdom because the landowning gentry blew all their money on a failed start-up colony.

      “What does Bloobr do, anyway?”

      “It’s an AI company that mines Bitcoins which represent a futures market for derivatives tied to the large stake we own in trees.”

    I heard in an interview that the difference between US and Britain class systems, is that the US class is based on money and the Britain class is based on bloodline.

      English Aristocracy that has notadjusted for the modern world are clinging on their inbred bloodlines while their estates went into administration.

      Britain is like any other westoid regime is owned a hand full of wealthy people some of whom are aristocratic but they are definitely oligarchs first and foremost.

                ‘Rules based international order’ as opposed to what?

                How do you expect society to function without rules of behavior, for example?

                  Nobody follows the rules unless it is convenient.
