If only there were one, well known, word for political backwardness

"Neo"-liberalism, maybe:

Let all the sheeple live in their algorithm-controlled illusion of civil liberties while at the same time doing the same shit oligarchs and monarchs keep on doing what they've been doing since we got words for these parasites:

Hoarding money and resources to feed the next generation of incestoid and degenerate oligarchs and monarchs with.

    What's the honor in incest ? I just don't get this.

    I just can quote an ex-gf of mine on this one again and again: "If god ever liked the Englishmen, why should he have sent him to an island?"

    Stability also is a purely fictional concept since money basically is generated by starting a printing press. Or even by a signing a contract involving some kind of debt.(I'm open to arguments about the point in history when this actually happened anyway).

    "Unwittingly" i also can't agree on. I just posted this article summarizing how Charles traveled through Greater Arabia to shill for British weapons.

    But the pay-to-play corporate-kleptocracy point you are stating i can support fully.

    This is plausible if not only to keep governments to a small size to perpetually undermine more democratic checks and balances.

    The English built a great Empire from that island, one which still strikes fear in the feeble hearts of liberals to this day.
