It's important to understand that basal Slavic kleptocracy is very different from sophisticated anglo lobbying (hexbear.net)

Idk where the debate pervert decided that I was saying the west is a kleptocracy. I also don't know what the debate pervert thinks a kleptocracy is. I think what I was actually saying was that it's stupid to assume that the Russian nuclear deterrent doesn't work, and that "OOOOOOOH SLAVIC ORC PRIMITIVES" isn't a reasonable justification for that belief when Washington openly admits it's nuclear modernization program is failing.

And I have no idea what the difference is supposed to be between a kleptocracy and what the US does. Maybe they're upset because the US system is so silly an inefficient in comparison.

this is like that one PhDork on MSNBC who got really mad at Nina Turner for calling american wealthy people "oligarchs". Like, visible shock and rage reaction and then interrupting to defend the honor of american rich people who are DEFINITELY not like russian rich people.

"Calling Mike Bloomberg an oligarch has implications in this country are unfair and unreasonable," said Johnson.

Johnson claimed that the word would evoke "a rich person who got their money off of oil in Russia, who is taking advantage of a broken and dysfunctional system."

Wealth hoarding is cool when it’s a feature not a flaw of the system
