  2. @randahl Demigods,
    2 bit grifters and snake oil salesmen have the corporate by their ass. Their insurrections, racketeering, regime changes and genocides have been normalised. All so they can increase their wealth with which to buy more power. Giving those crusty clowns and their spawn the right to steal and destroy the people’s resources by taking their taxes has expanded their creep show. They would die without their oligarchs and plutocrats finance together with their news and doublespeak. Otherwise the many could flourish and their wellbeing would be secure. Without the democratic representation of diverse interests they will get their Armageddon and their Apocalypse! #BenefitCheatBillionaires #PsychopathicNarcissists #Demigods #TheWarOnDemocracy #EcocideEmpire #CorporateSoveigntyIsEvil #WW3 #CowardsNotStrongMen #EmpiresTerror #SustainableRights #CapitalIsNotARight #FreedomIsARightForDiverseInterests #TheWarOnLifeAndFreedom #DRDI #TheFederation
