    Yup. The cringiest whitest thing I've ever heard is from r/collapse, which goes something like

    me: "the rich are going to fuck off to their bunkers when shit hits the fan, and many of us will die overnight"

    r*dditors: "b-b-but without THE REST OF US, they won't have any WORKERS powering their civilization heh"

    It's like these guys are actually incapable of imagining the elites hunting their own animals or doing literally anything outside of exploiting labor. It's as if they really think the elites will die if they aren't exploiting other humans, and that they lack the ability to finger a trigger and shoot a deer.

      Eh, I look at ultra-wealthy people and I honestly don't think many of them would actually be capable of hunting well enough to survive (not to mention there probably won't be much to hunt). Remember all those articles from a couple years back about billionaires trying to figure out how to keep the staff in their bunkers in line after shit really hits the fan? They're not planning on doing the grunt work.

        just because a few of them aren't doesn't mean all of them aren't

        there probably won’t be much to hunt

        there'll be plenty...in the unpopulated areas where they built their bunkers.
