"Billionaires have become radicalised against democracy," the American independent journalist Gil Durán tells the ABC.

"We have to realise how much power we have, and to stop being tuned out from the very real threat we face from a billionaire class that has gone off the edge of sanity into an altered reality.

    ABC is using “nerd” as an insult here.

    Not necessarily? Idk man, language evolves, the word "nerd" doesn't have the same meaning/connotations as it did 40 years ago, nor the same as it will have 40 years from now. Either way, my brain is fried from work so I'm just gonna sit this one out. Feel free to use my comment as a Strawman if you must
