Economy Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we all be worried?

[UberHere]

What is the point of doom prepping if you can just leave the country? It feels like flexing for no reason. If the U.S. starts rioting and I am rich, I ain't living it out in a bunker. Rich people are often retarded because money means nothing past a certain point.

I think the fear is nuclear fallout. Nowhere to go but underground or space.

I could see just doing it cause you can. I mean if I had billions to spend sure, check out my bunker

It isn't nerds, it is the system that allow for the aggregation of wealth into a handful of individuals.

That’s the natural way of things. The alpha eats and mates first. If anything our system just slowed this process down

That was so different than during the absolute monarchy, the Soviet Union or most of history. In the US cheap guns are widely available. There is no system that guarantees the opposite.

So tell me, how will the ...

now its just a matter of time until we splat at the bottom of the canyon.

happen?

It seems like having the location of your dooms day bunker be common knowledge wouldn't be ideal. Sure, being on Hawaii the number of people being able to get to it will be low but still you are basically a massive loot crate for a group of people determined enough.

I love how these people keep talking as if they are creating some sort of utopia. No one has the same idea of a utopia, what is heaven for one is hell for another. Hence the bunkers so when we wipe ourselves out again they can come crawling back out and start working on it again. None of these business' rise to power was organic they were all carefully guided by intelligence agencies. All of them are connected.

Who the fuck wants to live in a fucked up world? I want to be the first one to die when shit hits the fan and I got millions of dollars.

Yes, most technocrats are gnostic- transhumanists and have zero interest in the left-right dialectic and are not gonna save us. Musk is a perfect example, he will say we need to stop war while actively letting the government use his product to blow up people. Janus that motherfucker. Also, the CEO for Thiel's company, can't remember his name atm. He openly talks about building a technocratic state and killing people. So in short, not enough swirlies were given out and now we're all gonna die or be enslaved.

 

[Yehudim]

They’ve (ultra rich people) been doing this for years, and tech billionaires are just the latest class to do this.

My conclusion is not that they see something we do not, my conclusion is that they’re so loaded they can just do whatever silly idea they want. Multi-million dollar weddings? Sure. Huge underground bunkers and private islands? It’s like an insurance plan. Buying citizenship? New Zealand is a great place anyways.

Does he got backups to smoke some meats?

1. We are all destined to die
2. Ain’t nobody ever been free

Billionaires aren’t gods, they’re just the elites as civilizations have always had

What man wouldn't want a completely self sustaining food and energy source for his man cave?

Do you know how annoying it is to have to go out to buy milk and grains while the game is on?

This is totally normal stuff

It’s basically like a smart-refrigerator purchase for them, or whatever new gimmick is out there. You don’t need a talking refrigerator it but it’s cool to have it play music when you’re hosting people at your house.

It’s like buying a bunch of guns and telling your friends that you’re all stocked up and ready for whenever the apocalypse happens or when our government becomes tyrannical.

It’s this type of logic, except scaled up about a billion times. Why not buy up a ton of farmland and build a huge bunker? It’s not the smartest use of money, but it’s not affecting my quality of life and you never know.

Average American’s love Doomsday Prepping to the point we’ve had popular TV shows about it, and even regular people like to pretend they’ve prepped themselves. The difference is that the average Joe has a budget for a few guns, some ammo, canned food, and a generator.

If you aren't doing some level of natural or man-made disaster preparation you are ignorant of history. These guys just have the resources to go much bigger and provide a thicker layer of preparation.

Most of you guys have no food or water stocks. Most of you have no generator if the lights go out. Most of you have no cash supply on hand. Most of you lack simple survival skills.

Honestly, I hope there is no need for any of it and we continue to live in these opulent times. But history shows us over and over again that bad things always happen.

ETA: I'm set. You all are fucked~

 

[Natural Order]

What else you going to spend your hundreds of billions on?

This was a natural thing simply related to obscene wealth figures.

And how will you stop the marauders from just taking it?

Zuckerberg has a legit underground bunker with blast proof doors and an escape hatch in the middle of no where on an island.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

What person with billions in the bank wouldn't have an extremely lavish exit strategy?

Indeed. The idol worship and the fear of death makes for lack of discernment it seems. Would question #2, being a more metaphysical question, but I get yr point.

Most natural disasters and conflicts are regional. I will simply move away. I'd prefer not to be in a fixed position.

Everyone can’t be wealthy.
Being wealthy, by definition, is relative.
Wealthy people want to have more wealth than the common folk.

 

[TUFNewb]

Is Zuckerberg aware there is like 75,000 people on that island? In the event of a catastrophic collapse they would show up with excavators and acetylene torches and just take all his shit. It'll be the first thing they do.
