How to tell if you are a pawn/tool for the oligarchs 101:
1 - you pay taxes instead of doing 1031 RE transactions/defer taxes via business losses/use "charitable foundations"/borrow against equity/etc.
2 - you are not retired/you are working for someone else as an employee and making < $1M/yr (which implies you are disposable)
3 - you vote for candidates/think candidates will "change the system and help the country"
4 - you unwittingly spread propaganda that benefits (((CERTAIN PEOPLE)))
I probably missed 2-3 points but that about summarizes 80% of the population.
