Yes, I'm stunned by all the fronts they're positioning themselves on, seemingly to start fighting, yet saying they don't need NATO and apparently angering all allies except Israel, all after burning through missiles. I pray USA isn't planning on dropping nukes.
That's my biggest fear as well. Hopefully the oligarchs realize that it would be mutually assured annihilation.
I'm not sure sociopaths have forethought of all possible consequences. Shoot, not many normal people can conceive of all possible consequences. I guess we're about to see!
They literally think they can outlast it in bunkers and shit. Or go to their resort in South Africa or some shit.
Yeah, next few years are going to be scary.
Dang Yoggi got himself a personal enemy, judging by the dv pattern. Someone loves shooting the messenger!
it's so funny when you get a groopie who follows you around to give you that one lonely downvote 🤣
😂
Dear Yog
I replied to you about AI slop but you still aint callin
They might not care as much unfortunately, pretty much all of then have doomsday scenario bunkers for when they fuck up the planet much.
I imagine that deep down even they realize that their standard of living managing a declining empire will be far better than one where they have to live out the rest of their living like rats in bunkers.
Even if they aren't aware of it, they better also bring an army of totally autonomous humanoid robots to serve them cuz there's no way the workers they bring with them aren't just gonna gang up and eat them in like 6 months
this was a pretty hilarious read on the whole thing https://archive.ph/l3Djh
A good read, thank you! Really puts into words my thinking on these fears that the oligarchs will just go to their Vault Tec bunkers and leave us all for dead: they'd be screwed anyways because that environment is even LESS favourable for the exploitation they need for their lifestyles.
What they truly want out of technology is the ability to remain filthy rich and privileged without being dependent on other's labour which we know is impossible. They want to be gods who can just kill the rest of us or move to Mars or something. And they're not special because every oligarch in history has wanted that and every one has failed. It's as unrealistic as trying to create a philosopher's stone.
yeah basically
My thoughts are, they know everyone else realizes their conventional military is trash, but are still swinging it around because the rest of the world isn't ready to start defending against nukes. The US it's at a point where they are robbing someone with a toy gun, but also have some bricks of c4 planted all over the neighborhood, and are saying, "you better take my toy gun seriously or I will blow up this entire neighborhood.
What's worse is, many of them actually believe they will survive a nuclear Armageddon. My personal hypothesis is, they want to be able to make it looke like we used nukes in self defense. I really think they expect there to be enough Americans left in the aftermath for them to rule over. And they want to be able to go to these people and say " we had to do it in order to save what we could. You should be grateful. Of we didn't destroy the world, the evil commonest would have killed all of us. "
That's dark and possible. We hope for the best, I'm not sure how the regular Jane and poor will prepare for the worst, other than coming to terms with the possibility.
They won't. They will die or become part of the mobs of people killing each other for what little is left. That's the intent. This is what the rich want. They want as many "undesirables" to die as possible they believe they can basically live in a mostly deserted world, In small pockets all to themselves. And either kill off or enslave the rest of us.
These people are evil. Truly evil.
