I think they were referring to originally Jewish-owned companies that were taken over. Aren't these or at least some of these founded by the nazis themselves?

Volkwagen was a (Nazi) state founded company. It is one reason why the Nazis were popular because they genuinely gave people jobs with re-industrialisation (albeit on borrowed time because of excessive government spending, and of course with how history unfolded).

Hey now, they wouldn't exist without the help of IBM, Ford, and Standard Oil.

What I hate the most is how they always try paint themselves as a family business. Little family business called BMW with 150k employees, producing millions of cars each year.

Canadian oligarchs are like either:

I own your entire province and everything inside of it

or

I own every company in this sector, try to escape me :^)

Genuinely Scotland had to join the United Kingdom because the landowning gentry blew all their money on a failed start-up colony.

"What does Bloobr do, anyway?"

"It's an AI company that mines Bitcoins which represent a futures market for derivatives tied to the large stake we own in trees."

I heard in an interview that the difference between US and Britain class systems, is that the US class is based on money and the Britain class is based on bloodline.

English Aristocracy that has notadjusted for the modern world are clinging on their inbred bloodlines while their estates went into administration.

Britain is like any other westoid regime is owned a hand full of wealthy people some of whom are aristocratic but they are definitely oligarchs first and foremost.

Honestly, I'd take Niel as my overlord any day over the fuckers who are actually running the show.

That's a very navie perspective... Owning land is more indicative of aristocracy

German oligarchs for example are mostly Nazi nepo babies and their capital was entirely or in part a result of slave labour among other crimes.
