Petroligarchs

Fossil-fuel fascist assholes who stymie climate legislation and take nightly baths in cash

Science researcher Tyler woke up one morning, popped open his laptop and started reading more headlines about global climate emergency and how massive storms will become more deadly. "We keep burning fossil fuel like it's just everyday fucking life," Tyler thought. "Meanwhile these Petroligarchs keep buying politicians and lobby for more oil wells in sensitive ocean areas when we should be changing over to clean energy right fucking now." Tyler switched browser tab to Greenpeace.com and felt better.

I tried to play beer-pong at that party last night, but that table was such a fuckin' broligarchy.

Broligarch 

A very rich tech business leader with a great deal of political influence.

"it seems more than a coincidence that tech platforms owned by the new cadre of Broligarchs began leaning their influence in favour of the president on the day of his inauguration"

broligarch 

A portmanteau of "bro" and "oligarch". A broligarch refers to an ultra-wealthy man who uses his fortune and status to sway government policies, political agendas, and cultural narratives.

Broligarchs are often characterized by their bro culture and sneakers-with-suits vibes. Despite their laid-back image, they operate as political kingmakers, funding campaigns, lobbying, and shaping laws that align with their own interests. One minute they're posting memes, the next they're deciding tax policy.

In many parts of the world this would be considered corruption. In the US? It's just business as usual.

Ever since Elon Musk started throwing cash at Trump, he’s become the textbook definition of a broligarch — even scoring his own fake-ish government department to play with, while his companies are raking in billions in taxpayer money.
