What good is such dedicated doomerism going to do?
As the other person said, it’s not a question of If but When. Tyrants always accelarate their own fall. Maybe I’m too optimistic demanding that everybody who benefitted should pay, but apart from that it isn’t unrealistic, historically, globally. Countries have been known to implode. You are right, even that doesn’t make the oligarchs go away, but it shows them that there are limits.
The fall of empires isn’t an If but a When, and by the Allfather these pissants seem to be trying to accelerate complete imperial collapse. It’s entirely possible their money will be worth zero if things go badly enough.
Whos flying the jet? Where do the rich bastards get their money from? What do that actually have to pay people off? Fact of the matter is while quite a few may make it out there’s a solid chance plenty of them would end up stranded and strapped for cash.
Remember the collapse of empires can take hundreds of years or 10 minutes depending on size and various factors. Rome was able to slow their imperial death for nearly a thousand years in the East, meanwhile the Soviets fucking shat the bed so quickly it gave everyone whiplash. I doubt the United States is a Rome.
Oh, you sweet summer child.
What makes you think this shitshow is going to end? The Oligarchs own every branch of government, most governors, and most law enforcement officials.

Unfortunately we’re not in the same position as 100 years ago. This time the evil guys can just fuck off to another country in their private jet.
