"Rightsholders", "stakeholders"... I cringe every time I read those words. Euphemisms for monopolists lobbying and weaponising the state in the defense of their monopolies.
they're families, lineages, of people living off 'having power' (but really, authority and prestige)

the time has come for them to remember what power is (without authority)
