Very under rated comment
And then toss the billionaires in to see if it works according to specifications.
I love how they think we're going to try to break in and hurt them. We really are just going to entomb them in their bunkers and seal off any intake and exhaust.
If we as a species survives the climate collapse and finds a way to flourish again, archeologists will find these bunkers and think they where built by slaves to celebrate their rulling pharaohs.
Oh, and billionares getting bunkers is a new trend? Bill Gates has had one since he was CEO of Microsoft and HE was following the trend already.
This is true. We will entomb them.
Even if the world does turn to absolute shit and many of us die, it’s the not the billionaires in their bunkers who will the last ones standing.
If there’s any hope at all it will be with the remaining pockets of communities outside who learn to abolish capitalism and just live and support each other in a sustainable way. No one can survive long alone.
Any billionaire in their bunker will be entombed, and if they come out they’ll just get lynched.
Naw, they have wealth of supplies in there, may as well get some construction equipment and break in.
This just proves how capitalism rewards the inanely stupid - these parasites cosplaying as doomsday preppers (who already are not known for their firm grip on reality) don't realize that any event which would cause them to need such a bunker would also most likely destroy the very thing that attributes any kind of value to the power-coupons they've been hoarding - ie, the economy that only exists thanks to the working class.
Also, good luck to them when the well-armed rent-a-goons they hired to protect their little bunkers finds out the money they are being paid is all of a sudden completely worthless and that the governments that guaranteed private property rights is no longer around to protect them from the very same well-armed rent-a-goons. It would be a shame if nobody was around to film the anarcho-capitalist comedy that would ensue...
Naaaaaaaaaniiiiiiii?? You're telling me the people with guns will call the shots in an apocalyptic event because money will lose its value??? IMPOSSIBRU!!!
he is also feeding cows macadamia nuts on a remote island hoping it would make good doomsday food
Something about the apocalypse makes that A5 Wagyu steak that much more indulgent.
Sure, seal yourself up in a bunker and deplete your very non-renewable fuel to keep you safe from the outside.
In a real case scenario they may find themselves walled in anyway.
This is the best case scenario.
-
We the under classes scare them into their bunkers.
-
We cut off all forms of communication with them.
-
We seal them in so they can't change their minds.
-
We switch the rules to "Socialize the profits and privatize the losses."
There is only so many in the .0001% that need to be taken off the board and left to play with their toys inside their gilded cages. If they go voluntarily then how can they say that it is wrong, especially if no one is listening.
After step 1, they're already in there. Just fill it with water.
Surely we can switch up point 2 and use AI as their sole communicator. Let them think they're speaking to real people, but isolate them from the society that they think they control.
Congrats, you won capitalism. Please proceed to the winners bunker for your prize. Non-compliance will be met with dinner forks.
It's a sign that they're paranoid as fuck and never learned to share or play nicely with others.
