Once you realise that they all think we have less than 10 years to the total collapse of civilisation, everything they do makes sense.
Once you realize, that it’s more up to us than it is up to them
No, it really isn’t.
You have next to zero impact on anything at an individual level. These guys can literally buy a small country if they wanted to.
A million dollars would change your life.
Jeff Bezos makes ~$8M an hour.See below:
True, but the second you can’t buy enough food at the grocery store it all goes poof
If we stop, even for a couple weeks, the system collapses. If a third of people stop showing up for work, if a third of people steal their food rather than pay for it, if a third of people stop paying rent… It all just melts away like a snow flurry
Money means the value assigned to it - if it can’t feed you, it means nothing. If it stops moving, so does ‘the economy’. It’s so much more fragile than it seems
Money is just paper, or worse, numbers on a computer. It requires a working civilisation and government system to have any value so it won’t matter if/when civilisation collapses. Being rich will allow you to prepare and stockpile as much resources as possible while civilisation is still in place, but once all hell actually breaks loose, money will become worthless.
That’s why they no longer care about maintaining the economy. It’s about controlling resources now.
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 always has been. the dollar was built atop of the control of oil. energy.
minerals and other impotant resources are in the hands of the burgeoise for quite a long time now, too.
I dunno if Luigi would agree.

A 19 year old Gavrilo Princip would disagree
Franz Ferdinand was practically asking for it.
He rolled through Sarajevo in an open-top convertible - in a city full of anti-Austrian rage - and the exact parade route was published in the paper, like a personal invitation to The Black Hand.
One assassin lobbed a grenade at his car, but it bounced off and blew up the vehicle behind him.
Did they cancel the visit? Nope. Later that day, they decided to visit the wounded - by driving the same route. After a wrong turn, the car stalled right in front of Gavrilo Princip, who didn’t miss his second chance. He just stepped forward and pulled the trigger.
Even worse, they could easily hire huge armies to fight for them and carve out thier own countries.
Didn’t help much against some plumber I hear.
They won’t even need to do that now that they’ve got drones and robot dogs with machine guns on their backs. A war between robots and people wouldn’t be like it is in the movies, the robots won’t miss.
This is an economic war and it has been going on for some time, they have no need to fund armies. They’ve already subverted our way of life.
The oligarchs have united to fight against us, we need the working class to unite and fight back before it’s too late
All that money takes up too much space, that’s why I put all my money in crypto - don’t have to store it if you lose it all
Ape… together… strong
There’s only a few hundred of them. There’s 8 billion of us.
Could you please put them in a small bag to go?
real. it does look like they are expecting revolt at the very least. or economic collapse. or climate change, who knows. why else would they care to suddenly grab and jerk the wheel of power like this?
Dangerous arrogance?
Zuckerberg is already building a 100 million dollar doomsday bunker on hawaii. I guess the others have similar projects. While we fight for the last cans they can still enjoying a luxury life. So better we go after them before.
10 years
Source of speculation? Just curious, if it’s you that satisfies my curiosity too
Fair warning I haven’t read this specific article but an MIT prediction has societal collapse happening by 2040
I thought the answer was 42? Not that it makes much difference.
Okay, but imagine this: 10 years from now all billionaires suddenly withdraw to their own doomsday bunkers, sealing themselves in and disappearing forever, leaving the rest of us alone.
And thus the prophecy of the underground lizard people is fulfilled
If they’re withdrawing to their bunkers, the surface probably isn’t that great.
Fuck it, let’s bring on the gang wars.
I’m not connecting the dots, how does any of it make sense?
It’s consistent within their own headcannon. If you believe the world will end in 10 years, you’re going to do things to prepare for that short term timeline to ensure your own survival, place in the afterlife, standard of living, or whatever. Although if there is an afterlife, these assholes ain’t going to the good one lol.
They have zero interest in long-term planning and helping others. Well, Elon might have some, the way he’s Nazi-tier obsessed with reproduction quality and quantity.
But in their minds, why bother taking care of Earth when it’ll be ashes one way or another within their lifetimes? It’s sociopathic and cruel, but they’re so detached that they can’t even comprehend how disconnected they actually are.
The only reason Elon would help others would be so he had a continuing crowd of sycophants to dote on him.
Are these the bold visionaries that brought us VR?
