This man has a bunker and everything. He's scared shitless and he is ready to hide. Their assets need to be seized and accounts drained

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

That's not a joke, ALL these dudes have extensive doomsday prep. Secure facilities, staffed and stocked. There's a ton of reporting on it. They're gonna fare a LOT better than we are if shit gets really outta hand. Unless we do something about them before it gets to that point, anyway.

Edit: added a detail

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 11 points 1 day ago

They are going to get killed by their own militias

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If you had billions, wouldn't you have a prepper facility? Even if there were no global warming or political upheaval, it's common sense when you have money like that.

"Hey, want to build a doomsday shelter for .0001% of your net worth?"

"Meh, why not."

They don't necessarily have to see bad times coming is my point.

No? If I ACTUALLY wanted to ride out through some sort of apocalypse, a bunker ain't gonna cut it. I would bankroll and actively participate in a fully self-sustaining off-the-grid community. Rich people always forget the second part, probably because they are psychopaths. Remember that article where they were asking about putting shock collars on their bunker security guys? If they literally just got beers with them once a week, they'd probably shoot all the migrants you ask them to. It's an irony that they consider their time 'too valuable' for that, as it turns out that the one thing you can't buy is a sense of community.

Of course, I would endeavor to not own several billion dollars of stolen property in the first place, but different strokes.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

It was explosive collars, like from battle royale

[–] MechanicalJester@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I would too, but I would also be worried about the idea of being sealed in. Concrete is cheap. So is welding and thermite.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You are correct, but also when you look at the aggregate of their behavior and goals (both stated and implied) you have to reach the conclusion that they WANT to use the bunker. Or want a scenario in which it becomes useful.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The scary part is that you might be wrong, they may not even realize they're causing it and are just stuck in a loop of "number go up"

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 1 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, I feel like most of them are stuck in 'number go up', but I also think that the desire to make your investment 'worth it' gets stronger the more money you pour into a bunker system.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine just letting him be in his bunker, but you park a cement truck on top of the door.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Can we put them in there now?

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago

Why wait? Cement the bunkers before they can hide in them!

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You think we could pull a "Blast from the Past" and think Zuck into thinking the world is ending so he rushes to his bunker?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Other people saw that?

[–] SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (4 children)

His bunker on a Hawaiian Island. Dude really wants to be far away from everything when shit pops off.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Yeah because when I think about kicking off world wars, the last locale on my mind is Hawaii

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What I'm hearing is that after we overthrow the government and Destroy capitalism we have to dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial

Just weld the door closed. Problem solved.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Certainly would be less hassle than a trial.

That's where you pile the poop

[–] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or, hold a trial, and if convicted, we seal him in his bunker and bury it and cut it off from all outside contact. And depending on the severity of his conviction, plugging up every "air hole" could go along as capital punishment. Give him a very twilight zone ending, he wanted to hide in his bunker, and now he'll spend the rest of his life in it, however long that may be.

[–] Sizbang@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Don't plug them up - fart in them.

[–] SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

I've never been to Hawaii, but I'll show up for that 😎

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Native Hawaiians will take care of him

It would be most justice most poetic for the coup against Queen Lili'uokalani carried out by American business interests.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bunker on a tropical island you say? Don't worry, I know of some people that have some notes on that. Any secrets he has about that thing are practically out by now.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

This is either a shit post or I'm looking at something glowing radioactive hot and I can't tell which.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

The native Hawaiians should reclaim their land he stole so he doesn't have a bunker anymore

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Crypto exchanges need to be taxed.
