    Conspiracy theory - they know humanity is doomed on this course and they hope to survive in a paradise built on our corpses.

    Now that I said it out loud, this could've been an applicable quote at any point since the inception of capitalism.

    But what I mean in this case is that they think they have a better chance surviving a nuclear war than a climate war.

      But how would that even fucking work? It just... makes no sense. Capitalism is what it is today because it exploits over 7 billion humans. A nuclear war would mean the end of capitalism, too, because it would be the end of society.

        Capitalism is literally a death cult where the ultimate goal is to be the last one to die. It would never make sense.

        But remember the types like :reddit-logo: CEO. They have bunkers and think they'll use their wealth to control survivors and hoard enough resources to not need people. They're going to be in for a rude awakening when they find out their fortresses, being themselves products of capitalism, will inevitably fail them. A billionaire has to be lucky every day. Anyone else just has to be lucky once.

          There was an article here a while ago about how out of touch a lot of bunker people are. If you want someone to protect you during bad times you need to treat them well during good times.
