I heard the term Capitalist Colonizers recently, and I've been using it every chance I get when I speak of the oligarchy.

I think this is counterproductive.
It's exactly the sort of turbo progressive speak that makes us seem weird and unelectable to blue collar swing voters that decide elections.

I think it's counterproductive to base the hope of your nation's future on pandering to blue collar swing voters, but you do you, US.
