Yeah it is alarming.
Just not for the reason you think it is.
It's alarming how surprised the oligarchs seem to be. Like they didn't realize they were the baddies.
I expect many of them have spent their lives so immersed in capitalist indoctrination that they genuinely have no idea others view their activities as exploitation and a bad thing. To them, accumulating wealth through whatever means you can is just what you do. And they tend to think that anyone who doesn't do this is just a bit stupid and hasn't figured out what life is about. Don't underestimate their narrow-minded blinkeredness.
Perhaps they have stopped thinking critically and believe that whatever is legal is ethical.
I'll save them some time: The entire for-profit insurance, prison, and banking industries are unethical.
Nah it's just weaponized "concern trolling" in an attempt to quell support. I'm sure the red coats used similar language when talking about people like George Washington back in the day too.
Oligarchs are, by definition, backstabbers. They don't know solidarity amongst themselves
