>VICE puts out piece on billionaire doomsday bunkers, leaves the viewer wondering what do the wealthy know that the rest of us don'thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72lXXdAw5ws>Exhibit A: What they knowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U6s5JjwRko
> Are the Ultra-Rich Really Building Doomsday Bunkers?well yeah, haven't they always? and wouldn't you?
>>17088612But are they building Fallout vaults, Silo silos, Paradise bunkers, Wasteland bunkers, ATOM bunkers, or what kind?
>>17088616While the the tone of VICE is naturally one of "how dare those billionaires escape and leave us behind," that is not my argument. VICE is trying to paint the narrative that they reason they are building bunkers is to escape so called "consequences of capitalism." But that is not the actual reason. The real reason is far more horrifying once you fully see it.Personally, I am building my very own bunker and doing so on a much smaller budget. However, everyone who knows what's coming has no false notion that a bunker even guarantees survival. It does not.
>>17088621All of the above.
>>17088624Not gonna watch either video so just tell me what's coming
>>170886372nd video is only 24 seconds
>>17088612billionaires are fucking dumb
>>17088641
>>17088643im rich as fuck goy
>>17088612Billionaires are not exempt from schizo hyperfixations and social contagion.It just so happened for some apocalyptic narratives and eschatological memes to pass through the class barrier, and infect "the club". Therefore, some resources got poured into bunkers to exorcise a given successful narrative because it was real in their minds, or they got bored and said "why not".Nothing ever happens.
>>17088638idgaf, I watch as few videos as possible. Tell me what it says.
>>17088668That you'll be dead in 15 years.
>>17088674For what reason?
>>17088624>"consequences of capitalism."when "capitalism" rebuilds the temple on the mount that's when we really have to take shelter
>>17088621Generally its whatever kind the local government is incentivizing them to build, Zuckerberg for instance is building all his "bunkers" as hurricane proof shelters because HB2526 in Hawaii literally pays for half of the construction costs for anyone to build structures that are hurricane proof, so he can build these things and sell them for massive profits.
>>17088689For being too self absorbed and ignorant to understand the significance of a 24 second video.
>>17088699So to recap, the reason you can't explain the significance of the video is because you think anon is too self absorbed since anon is asking about the video you posted?
>>17088612I am becoming convinced that the billionaires do know something bad is going to happen within the next several years. Whether it's a general collapse of the economy in the 2030s that many economists are predicting, or whether the Apophsis asteroid actually does hit Earth, or the billionaire release a new virus to cull the Earth's overpopulation, or something else.Whatever it is, I hope it is a quick painless death for me and my family.
>>17088612what does it matter? what would change anyway? think humans can build bunkers to shelter 8 billion people? we all live happily ever after as fucking moles underground?
>>17088612There's a massive flaw in the logic by assuming ultra-rich people need a specific reason to build a doomsday bunker. These people have such absurdly huge amounts of money that buying something like this is completely trivial and can be done on a moments whim.With that mindset, it makes sense to get a doomsday bunker as a general "just in case" for any potential massive disaster. You don't need to be worried about any specific disaster for it to make sense, you just have to believe that it's hypothetically possible for something bad to happen at any point in the future, which is obviously true. If you have so much money that effectively everything on the planet that money can buy is free to you, why would you NOT get the free ultimate "just in case anything" insurance between buying gold plated sports cars and your 50th mansion?
>>17088785yeah they do have fuckload of homes "just in case" but they end up using them few times in their whole lives. maybe never for some of them. it's just some sort of insurance.
>>17088785Especially when the government pays for half of the building materials.>>17088692 just so there can be extra doomsday bunkers nearby.
>>17088762We've been living with the threat of near-total nuclear annihilation for 80 years now, no need to posit other disasters.
>>17088624>The real reason is far more horrifying once you fully see it.>However, everyone who knows what's coming...vaguepostios maximus
This>>17088785Doomsday bunkers are just an insurance. I insure my car and other possessions not because I believe I will specifically crash or have a fire burn down my house but because it would suck to crash or have a fire happen without and I can afford the insurance payment easily. Bunker is just another layer of insurance that everyone would have if they could afford it. In fact in lots of places bunkers and shelters are pretty standard fair of just generic apartment blocks. You are going to build a huge concrete apartment block, you may as well add a shelter with bit of extra concrete and a metal door and use it as a bike storage or something. They don't build these because they believe a disaster is specifically imminent but because the apartment costs basically the same with or without one but because having one is good insurance. Danger is obviously real, anything could happen from a natural disaster from something as basic as fire or storm to meteors and earthquakes and nuclear and conventional wars and various other types of political turmoil all justify a bunker. If you have millions to spend the math just works out to have one of these built. If nothing happens you lose basically nothing and if something happens you benefit immensely.Rich people have been building bunkers ever since rich people have existed and so far in history precisely nothing has ever happened.
>>17088612If you had effectively infinite dollars why would you not spend a tiny fraction of that building a bunker just in case?
>>17088612when people get that wealthy, they secretly desire for everyone else to die.they're just playing out fantasy scenarios.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hKdfReE0qds&ra=m
