(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.

Getting kind of tired of this attitude, you don't know me, you don't know anything about me or the people around me. What the fuck would YOU realistically be doing.
And don't reply to me with some list of the "resistance" style bullshit you claim to be capable of or whatever you can come up with.
THE PEOPLE are not one massive entity, so stop lumping us all together. We are fucking struggling here my guy
The people who make comments like this have no idea of the situation most of us are in here.
There have been sizeable protests despite the facts that many can't afford to take time off work, risk losing their job for taking time off, have to travel great distances to get to protests, and other things. Getting arrested can ruin the rest of your life in some situations.
Oh, and most of us aren't suicidal, so the whole "get a gun and go after those important people" ain't a thing because that's a damn good way to end up in a body bag for little to no effect. There's a point where that is a relevant option compared to available alternatives but we're not there yet.
Or they're hostile actors, attempting to push any resistance forward while it's piecemeal and ineffective.
Sowing the seeds of hopelessness, trying to get you to think your every effort is futile and doesn't matter.
It matters. You matter. Keep fighting. Do what you can. Be a beacon. Be a safe place & a safe person. Be kind. Send hope.
Not giving into despair is resistance.
Keep it up!
