Yes, they can be supreme autocrats lording over the surf class but, that bunker lyfe doesn't sound like a good time? Especially for the jet set. And climate change will still come for them eventually too.

It seems so obvious this will be Bad For Them Too that I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I'm not seeing. What is in their end game that I'm just not smart enough to see? What am I not getting?
But today, someone said something that made me realize that I'm not missing anything. It's simply a dumb plan! I've been struggling because I assumed these wealthy, educated people were smart and working with an internally consistent logical framework. But they're not.
They're not trying to destroy the world because they have some vast, superior intellectual or philosophical insight. They're doing it because they're highly-resourced dummies who don't really understand anything, including what the ultimately want.
As a result, they have cobbled together a profoundly stupid plan based on a bunch of profoundly stupid assumptions and misapprehensions about how anything works that won't even get them what they want even if they do manage to achieve it.
These people are open about the fact that they plan to destroy America intentionally. I don't want to discount how dangerous and cruel it is or how many people it will hurt.
But they're also ignoramuses. Their understanding isn't better and their ideas aren't inevitable.
Tbh, it's brought me a lot of comfort and given me a more confidence in fighting back. Yes, these are highly resourced, dangerous people but not brilliant strategic and long-term thinkers. We're fighting rich dumb-dumbs who don't even understand what they want. I'm not outmatched by these guys.

It is really this intellectually shallow friends.
