He isn’t wrong. All it takes is the right amount of people to be pissed and revolution explodes. If the oligarchs think they have it rough now, wait until they are being lynched in the street by people who haven’t eaten a decent meal in recent memory. Look up 1918 Russia if you don’t believe me.
I somehow feel things have changed. Maybe it’s the internet, lack of education, consumerism, whatever. I hate to say this, bit I feel like a lot of people, when they get hungry, would steal from their neighbours. Far too many folk don’t understand that the wealthy are the author of their suffering and won’t know where to target their anger. Not to mention that oligarchs are hard to catch, whereas your neighbour with a slightly newer car is right there, and may be of a different race. People don’t understand who they should be angry with.
If there is still food to be stolen from your neighbours then things haven’t reached the point of revolt.
If there is still enough energy to be expended on hating your neighbor, then you haven’t reached the true point of revolt
When things are truly at their worst, your neighbor has no food to take. Your neighbor has no goods worth stealing. Harming them brings you no food, no money and less energy.
When things have reached that point, that is when the only option left is revolt and it does not matter what consumerism what gifts are given what lies are said. The only thing left to do is revolt or die. And no group of people will simply choose to die.
Lets hope he is right.
No shit. This is my retirement plan.
People are too divided for an Actual revolution, but I’d say let’s try
Internet echo chambers are literally “Divide and Conquer” at scale.
Wake me up when the masses give up their algorithmic app addictions.
This^. Most of us are part of the Machine. Any revolution must begin outside of it.
One of the most revolutionary actions people can take is put down their phones.
If the government bans social media, we will riot
Please collapse in an orderly fashion, form a queue or something. But don’t come up here, we’re full.
I’ve been waiting for the pitchforks since 2008.
Eat the rich and use their money so there is no poverty in the world anymore.
and do something to prevent new people from taking their place so the problem doesnt just start again with different people
Maybe we just need the ever present threat of being eaten should one become too rich to achieve world peace.
Revolution led by CEOs, I presume?
Nono, “Revolution” tm, new AI product from his company.
How many subscriptions tiers does it have?
Sure seems like the rich are doing everything they can to see what they can get away with before it pops off.
At least hes just a millionaire and not a billionaire. We can trust him
Please.
Good.
If he’s lucky, he might survive it, but if he keeps greeding unrepentantly, he might not
Americans can’t even bother to get their asses off the couch to vote against fascism. The only Revolution they’re gonna take part in is the one at the Olive Garden when they run out of breadsticks
That patently false. Millions of us got off of our asses to vote against fascism.
When? You guys have been terrorizing the world for decades and longer.
-a victim of your country’s terrorism
A repeat of the French Revolution is the real reason behind the bunkers of the ultra wealthy.
I hope they enjoy staying in that bunker forever instead of the surface world
Somewhere, somehow, those bunkers will need air intakes. Some potatoes to plug tubes, or mustard gas packets down the hatches … the problem is, bunkers make excellent prisons and/or tombs.
The ultra wealthy also don’t do shit in their own and will be expecting at least a small team of other people to cater to them while they weather the storm. There is no future where the ultra wealthy get to keep all the things they have collected.
You don’t realize how far gone some “house slaves” are gone down the rabbit hole. They have their chosen special ones. Who will do anything they want.
wasnt there are article about zuckerberg/bezos compound they dont know what to do with the HUMAN waste they produced,a nd they wanted to dumped in some random area to pollute. since you dont pay for public services.
A healthy and well designed septic system will handle a free humans for decades if you treat it right.
That shouldn’t be the hard part.
There’s a whole rich people Island neighborhood (I didn’t think they were bunkers) that wanted to pipe their waste back to the mainland because they didn’t think anything through when building it
I like shitting on billionaires as much as the next person, but presumably they didn’t design any of this themselves. Most likely story is they just don’t want to pay their fair share as usual.
They didn’t want it near them and assumed they’d be able to pay their way to dumping it on the poors. Don’t give them an out.
I bet those
servant’s quartersaccomodations for staff are real nice so that they stay loyal.They will, in all likelihood, involve counter measures like explosive collars.
Or the one from Horizon. Surgically implanted “Off” switches that kil function implanted into sterilized individuals. Literally had the surgery center at the entrance to the bunker.
What part of the device will do the killing?
Would installing such devices make the news?
What if an enemy did a mass triggering of switches?
In horizon the device was in your head from the moment you entered the bunker.
Would installing such devices make the news?
If you have to enter the bunker then the world has gone to shit. There is no more “news”.
What if an enemy did a mass triggering of switches?
Then everyone below the billionaire would be kill.
Weird jump after defending a multi billionaire govenor that won’t defend his citizens and just wants to make sound bites…
Fair, but in this case, they’re not wrong.
My toilet needs to flush
somehowsomewhereEdit I can’t type
Press the buttons on the top.
Water is one of the most destructive things on the planet. Find where water is pumped out, plug it, flood it (or just let them sit in their own filth unable to flush a toilet)
I’m more of a proponent on getting these criminals out of their bunkers, giving them a trial, then permanently sealing the bunkers after removing luxuries.
And unless there is something I dont know about the construction of these bunkers, they are never impossible to break into.
We could seal them in and let them rot inside? I personally feel like indefinite imprisonment in a vault of their creation could be plenty punishment. Could also cut electricity. Maybe they desire to come out on their own, we wouldnt need to break in.
Either is fine for me if these guys get what they wrought
See that’s the thing with me.
To me, justice isn’t served until the institutions they tried to destroy are the ones used to punish them. It’s like the penultimate form of justice.
Yes. It’s for show. The end result is the same. But to the people, we can witness it, and remind ourselves that these institutions of justice and government are meant to serve the many, and not the few.
But part of me also really just wants to use thermite to cut through a big steel bunker door
The problem is that the rich own all the lawyers. And judges. And congresspeople.
More eggs to break. The people are getting hungry
if they have been collaborating they should be there with the billionaires.
It’s like the penultimate form of justice.
What’s the ultimate form then?
Fixing all the damage they caused. Since they can’t do that, it’s the penultimate.
Giant blender, everyone gets a sip. Or minimum wage servitor.
Now I’m curious how many rich people we would need to blend up to give everyone else on earth a sip of bougiejuice…
You just gotta know where they are, and many of them are doing it right out in the open. Crews of construction workers, locals, they know where to find the bunkers.
I propose this plan: billionaire brawl.
A reality TV show akin to the gladiator arenas of old.
They don’t respect the institutions of law and have danced around them/dismantled them, so they do not deserve it.
Instead, they turned our public institutions into theater. That is what they deserve.
For our entertainment, a new billionaire brawl occurs every day. There are thousands of them so we could have years of entertainment. They fight to the death with all sorts of strange instruments and situations.
I should mention, in Billionaire Brawl, the strange Instruments they use to survive? Yes you guessed it, they must buy them, and they are not cheap. Each piece of equipment costs billions to buy. A sword? A billion. A shield? Another billion. Clothes? Yes, a billion. A helmet? Billion. The proceeds from Billionaire Brawl go to the workers of the industries they pillaged from, and to the environments they destroyed for their riches, and to the people they brainwashed for their riches.
The great thing about this is that it would catalogue exactly what happened here. Future generations would have a historical goldmine. Millions of people who were abused, starved, exploited, and lied to would be able to watch their billionaire brawl and feel a sense of justice.
They feast while they poison our air and waters. They live in luxury while making us beg to give 1/2 of our income to a slum. The moment AI became seemingly advanced enough, they tossed us aside like nuisances.
Billionaire Brawl. Don’t let them escape to bunkers. Pull them out. Let them fight to the death for freedom, like they’ve made us fight for generations.
Almost like an inverted Hunger Games. Nice!
Truthfully if it gets to the point the mega wealthy are hiding in bunkers the people will have access to military arsenals.
The US has spent a lot of money researching and purchasing munitions designed to bust underground bunkers
Couldn’t we just plug up their vents? Or maybe fart a little bit in them?
we can seal them in with concrete.
They almost always need some access to the outside, for air or water. Regardless, it’s only so strong. Even if it’s self-sustaining, a few guys with pickaxes could get through whatever wall they have in probably a few months, at most. Assuming everything doesn’t collapse, heavy machinery or explosives would make quick work of them. A bunker is only useful if there’s nothing on the outside actively trying to open it up.
An easy way to avoid anything like the French Revolution … or any kind of revolution … is to just feed people.
You can do whatever you want, abuse people, jail people, arrest people, even start a war, build concentration camps and for the most part people will go along with it all, as long as you keep them fed. You don’t even have to feed them much … just keep them fed enough to keep them from rioting and revolting.
TBF some of us are already fairly revolting.
They’re deliberately starving people right now.…
YES! Commented many times that our masters won’t let us starve. Well…
apparently Thiels compound construction was denied by the NZ government so he abandoned that country, hes probably shopping elsewhere.
Find the bunker and then cause a mini Chernobyl on top of it so that the radiation half life doesn’t occur until all the bunker people’s lifespan is over. We’ll trap them there forever.
Lots of lead shielding and warning signs to anyone coming from any direction other than the bunker door.
One very large and just-subcritical block of something with a long half life and just seconds of fatal exposure, between that and the door.
