I keep seeing these articles about how Russian oligarchs can’t have their assets siezed without due process, in a process that rarely ends with actual forfeiture.

Probably because they are not colored or poor. 🇷🇺

The government has no problem with seizing the assets of people of color and the poor. Cops are more than happy to sieze the assets of blacks, because they are supposedly drug dealers under civil forfeiture and because they often don’t have lawyers or any other way to fight the evils of the state. Moreover many fees levied by both the government and the private sector go directly after the poor and people of color. Thats just the truth of the matter.
