I’m just gonna keep calling them “cunts” lol
Bless ya soul
Corporation controller also seems apt, since that’s what their wealth usually is.
Property is robbery
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.
‘Money pervert’ also works
I like this but I can see them leaning into it and taking it as a badge of honor.
Wealth predator. It has more of that negative connotation it deserves
Normalise saying “fossil methane” instead of “natural gas”
Just Methane will do, fossil methane implies there’s a better methane out there
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.
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]
Specifically synthetic methane will be efficiently burned, and much of it will be burned outside the atmosphere, so it’s hardly a greenhouse risk.
@naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca would have to change nickname
I’m old school, I stick to calling them boss, capitalist, and bourgeoisie
I’ve become personally partial to “landleech”.
I had a browser extension for a while that replaced billionaire with oligarch, fun times
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.
“dragon”
Not incorrect. Makes them sound way too cool, however.
We might be in need of a Dovahkiin
+1 for parasite
or oligarch, wait nvm how could i forget only the other has those, silly me how could i forget.
I think it isn’t going to be that effective a phrase. People don’t understand why having lots of money (hoarding wealth) is a bad thing, necessarily, and it sort of implies that, if they were to just spend it, it’d make the initial hoarding fine.
Gotta also focus on the fact that they essentially stole that money from workers through labor exploitation. The bare fact that they got the money to begin with is the problem, not just them holding onto it. If they were to spend it all on horrible capitalist enterprises rather than hoarding it, that’d be even worse.
“Wage slave master”?
