It wont. Every time I go to the range, I’m still the youngest dude there as a 42 year old.
Shhhhh don’t warn the other rich. There’s already gonna be a lot of bunkers to break into.
the other rich
Rich? He is lacking almost as many millions to be a billionaire as you.
The crazy thing is millionaires have more on common with us normal workers than they do with billionaires.
Hasan Piker was listing all kinds of "a million _____ is _____ but a BILLION ______ is [some ufathomably larger thing].
People don’t understand multiplication very well…
What’s the difference between a million and a billion? About a billion
under 5millions ish, but once you reach 10s millions in worth, the psycopathy starts to show. hasan probably a poor example, as hes comes from a very wealth turkey family but acts like lefty tankie, but hes really just a resistance grifter, he pretends likes hes poor. but his fans are calling him out he never had an actual job before, the one that wasnt due to nepotism, one given by his uncle cenk ughyr, hes part of the bourgeois.
Many leftist have been those from high class families who had the education and means to make a difference. Guevara and Engels being two examples among many. FDR, though absolutely not anywhere close to a leftist, betrayed his own upper class and championed the new deal.
I am not defending wealth. I am a dyed in the red and black commie, but I do think we should recognize that sometimes it’s actually those with enough material means to make a difference who do so.
BTW. Hasan’s a internet personality who abuses his dog, so… This comment was more about people coming from wealthier families being able to do good things.
The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.
If you were to count 1 second, every second, until you reached one million. It will have taken you roughly 11 days.
If you were to count 1 second, every second, until you reached one billion. It will have taken you over 33 years.

I get what you’re saying, that they are millionaires are closer to being broke than to being a billionaire, but they still have more in common with billionaires than normal workers. Once you reach the mid to high single digit millionaire you can pretty much choose your own adventure.
i think is when you reach 10s of millions in wealth is when things becomes very seperate from the plebs.
Lemmy is seriously underestimating the number of comfortable millionaires. Got $1M? You can retire and live modestly. Got $3M? That’s a new way of life, not radical, but much better. Got $10M? You’re well set for whatever happens.
Your math is a bit off
In the US, 1 million is not enough to retire comfortably unless you are already retirement age and can collect social security and Medicare. It’s not like you can retire early on 1 million dollars. That doesn’t even buy you a house where I live.
Trump is counting on it to declare martial law and never have another election.
You say that…like that changes anything.
He’s already declared martial law by sending in military units to cities. He’s already done it.
What the fuck do we have to lose?
Exactly as I’m seeing it. And I armed and practicing. Not saying, “I have a bunch of guns and ammo so I’m a tough guy!”
Anyway, went to camp today and sent some .556 armor-piercing down range. Sight is good enough for me, good enough for 100’. Did you know that green-tips drill holes in 1/4" steel? I didn’t! Walked down to look at my target and it looked like I took a drill press to it!
Anyway, unidentified, warrantless, masked men are targets in my book. Police patches? LOL, anyone can buy those on Amazon. Want a link?
They’re not here yet, but I have eyes on.
Yes, I’ll almost certainly die. No, I’m not letting them take my brown, legal wife.
Your comment fills me with a deep dread that causes me to feel like saying something to discourage you from this path. Alas, it’s not your preparation that is causing that feeling, but the grim circumstances that necessitate this kind of planning.
It’s difficult being on the other side of the world and completely unable to do anything than just watch as America descends deeper into fascism. However, I’m glad that I am not in the impossible position of making the decisions you’re making. I’m sorry that you are.
Good luck, I hope you don’t die. And I hope that people like you are able to claw back democracy from the fascists
you wont last long. your best bet is to lay down those arms and come out with your hands up.

The alternative is die slow. 🤷
Apparently even the venture capitalists are like “maybe there’s a bit of a problem” now.
maybe they shouldnt have funded the AI bubble.
It might even be what the world’s elite want to happen …and knowing that makes things so much more fucked up.

A repeat of the French Revolution is the real reason behind the bunkers of the ultra wealthy.
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.
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.
YES! Commented many times that our masters won’t let us starve. Well…
TBF some of us are already fairly revolting.
I hope they enjoy staying in that bunker forever instead of the surface world
we can seal them in with concrete.
Couldn’t we just plug up their vents? Or maybe fart a little bit in them?
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.
The ultra wealthy also don’t do shit in their own and will be expecting at least a small team of other people to cater to them while they weather the storm. There is no future where the ultra wealthy get to keep all the things they have collected.
wasnt there are article about zuckerberg/bezos compound they dont know what to do with the HUMAN waste they produced,a nd they wanted to dumped in some random area to pollute. since you dont pay for public services.
Weird jump after defending a multi billionaire govenor that won’t defend his citizens and just wants to make sound bites…
Fair, but in this case, they’re not wrong.
Water is one of the most destructive things on the planet. Find where water is pumped out, plug it, flood it (or just let them sit in their own filth unable to flush a toilet)
My toilet needs to flush
somehowsomewhereEdit I can’t type
Press the buttons on the top.
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
The problem is that the rich own all the lawyers. And judges. And congresspeople.
if they have been collaborating they should be there with the billionaires.
More eggs to break. The people are getting hungry
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.
Millionaire? Wow, Newsweek is really slumming it these days.
10 years from now: Homeowner CEO says …
I paid my rent AMA
what did you eat today
Ouch…
Telling us something we’ve known for a decade is why he makes the big bucks.
Good
Yes. It very well could. In fact a lot of people are preparing for that. And what makes me chuckle at that is that the billionaires think they can survive in their super fancy bunkers.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
