fauxligarch 

(n.) A leader with a false claim to power or authority, metaphorically akin to the “emperor with no clothes”.

Ever been tossed out of a Facebook group just because some fauxligarch admin went on a power trip? Since when do I have to memorize the smoked salmon Wikipedia entry just to stay in a shitpost group, damn. I think they just didn’t like me.
