    A repeat of the French Revolution is the real reason behind the bunkers of the ultra wealthy.

        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.

        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

          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.

          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

        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.

      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 lifespans are 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.
