+1 for parasite

aski3252 ,

Or just oligarch or power addict. In the eyes of most people, wealth is about luxury, material goods and fancy toys. Of course that’s part of it, but at a certain point, wealth is no longer about luxury and toys, it’s about power and having control over resources everyone else depends on.

I had a browser extension for a while that replaced billionaire with oligarch, fun times

I personally like to reserve “parasite” for the investors, the ones who will literally send you to court if you try to be human to your employees.

It’s the same picture

Parasite species at least actually require resources from their host to survive. I think it might be too generous of a label

True and the worse the people are the higher up they go, great for the inverters tho, bad for society as a whole (www.yewtu.be/watch?v=STYgeA9VSc) (the video goes over how the biggest investment companies stagger society as a whole, and how the normal person buying shares in a company DONT use their voting power to change the company for the better.)

Fecal dragon?

Hoarders don’t take things from others (not explicitly). So this term is too kind, and inaccurate.

They are stealing from us, folks. They’re fucking criminals.

I like “Robber Barrons”. I just wish it didn’t sound so cool.

rockerface ,

Following the people from another comment thread - oligarchs. It might sound post-Soviet and old-fashioned to some, but it is a rather apt description - the power of few, if you translate literally

Normalise saying “fossil methane” instead of “natural gas”

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Just Methane will do, fossil methane implies there’s a better methane out there

Tlaloc_Temporal ,

On one hand, synthetic methane is set to be rather important in the medium term future. On the other hand, bio methane is probably the worse greenhouse product at the moment.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I mean, if it’s methane but using another process to create it, it’s still methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, that’s so far hard to regulate and very easily leak unnoticed. It’s “better” than obtaining from oil, but still, it’s methane.

[insert methane is methane meme here]

Tlaloc_Temporal ,

Specifically synthetic methane will be efficiently burned, and much of it will be burned outside the atmosphere, so it’s hardly a greenhouse risk.

nonentity ,

I’ve been calling all fossil fuels ‘artisanal energy’. It will eventually become as practical as other handmade, small batch products.

Another facet (at least specifically in America) is to de-stigmatize discussing personal income among the working class. We’ve been melt-brained hard to think it’s as private and taboo as discussing one’s most deep and darkest sexual kinks when really it’s just a tool of the owners to keep workers indentured in the wage-slave economy.

I’m doing my part! I’ve been bringing it up at lunch.

Reason: Not a meme

Arguably true. Please post actual memes next time, OP.

EarthShipTechIntern ,

I was thinking nigglers.

Cause they’re niggling us all

More from oil! More from groceries! More work for less pay!

Endlessly niggling every aspect of our lives

herrcaptain ,

I see where you’re coming from but that feels dangerously close to a certain other word I’d rather not use. I’m also not sure of the etemology of that word, but I wouldn’t be shocked to find out it has something in common with the other one.

assassinatedbyCIA ,

‘Money pervert’ also works

herrcaptain ,

I like this but I can see them leaning into it and taking it as a badge of honor.

LemmyHead ,

Wealth predator. It has more of that negative connotation it deserves

rockSlayer ,

I’m old school, I stick to calling them boss, capitalist, and bourgeoisie

lugal ,

Property is robbery

StudChud ,

I’m just gonna keep calling them “cunts” lol

Bless ya soul
