Zuck building a bunker for his ex-military head of security who will murder him instantly.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

Murder him? Nahh put the explosive collar on his neck with help of the IT guy and make him a bitch boy.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 72 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

People refusing to work for them would put a quick end to them.

They need us way more than we need them. They're the parasites, we're the hosts.

If you know someone who works directly under a billionaire's umbrella, shame them. Make it uncool to work at Meta, or SpaceX, selling Teslas, or Amazon at any level. Make it uncool to work on their yachts, or in their homes, or as their driver, etc.

We DO have the power, we need to exercise it together.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

Making it uncoool is cool, but more importantly, unionize.

Hang on a sec, some of these jobs come with the opportunity to, uh, do something very cool.

What is their plan when we just pour two meters of concrete on the bunker entrances?

Are those things emp proof?

[–] Elting@piefed.social 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Seems like a well thrown bucket of paint would probably disable those things.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you seen the price of paint lately? Mud might be the better option. From the bottom of a latrine.

Don't even need an emp they probably go down with .22

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would expect them to be. It seems like a very obvious flaw if not. Though with hubris more obvious things have been ignored before

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are very much not. They are not actually intended for military combat - more like retrofitted for it.

They aren’t “all of a sudden”. They’ve been bunkering up for decades.

Because there is an impending global catastrophe they have determined is unavoidable and unpreventable that they have kept under wraps due to the inevitable collapse of society once people learn of it. This is why there are no long term plans for anything anymore. Because there won't be a long term.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 weeks ago

Because there is an impending global catastrophe they have ~~determined is unavoidable and unpreventable~~ caused through their greed and selfishness

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

There never were long term plans. Market economics is an evolutionary system. Business are the organisms with that system (so are nations, and any other organization made of people, really). So long as a business metabolizes human labor into profit, it continues. What looks like planning was really just ~two centuries of exponential growth. There is no driver's seat, not really. The capitalist that forsakes profit doesn't stay a capitalist long. The system itself imposes a greater selective pressure than any individual human will. It will outlast last its components... until it doesn't. Nothing can maintain both exponential growth and equilibrium within it's environment.

It's much easier to clog up air intakes than storm an above ground building

[–] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Mix bleach and ammonia and pipe the fumes in...

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Literally the first thing I thought of.

He is building a bunker mistakenly thinking it will not be his tomb.

They know climate change is an extremely major problem

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And, while they have the resources to do something to prevent it, they chose instead to make the situation worse.

Come on. If you had all the money in the world you'd probably build one too, tbh. I know i would. I would build a freaking underground network like extra homes. It would be awesome

but yeah, zuck probably is doing it for evil reasons.

Build an underground bunker on an active volcano. I see no possible problem with this plan.

[–] Brummbaer@pawb.social 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are not living in reality anymore. There is something within these Techbros that denies consensus reality and substitutes some kind of simulation of their own.

That's the reason this guy can build a bunker on an island close to the water on a volcano.

There is also some interesting symbolism in there.

They feel the need to hide from the people, because they know they would face the fate of Johan de Witt if the people ever found out what they did to them.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There's something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.

Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: "what if there's a zombie outbreak?" Obviously, we're really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.

Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now ... I think he had a really good point about these "end of the world" catastrophes -- I simply don't want to be alive for any of them. I don't wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.

Yeah, the U.S. as a country is way too comfortable with this behavior.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

exactly, right

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This delights me... to be a fly on the wall of that bunker!

Should he ever use it, he'll find out that locking himself in with his staff was a massive error in judgment. They will tear him apart.

I'm sure these billionaires have found a solution that makes perfect sense to them.

The joke's on them, we'll just weld the doors shut from the outside.

Seeing as it's in Hawaii I'm hoping it fills with magma.

When they all go to their bunkers, we should block the doors and build an equitable society

They are trying to avoid being eaten when the time comes.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

They don't know how much food I let sit in the fridge and rot to pieces before it gets touched. May the rich rot in their own made hell holes while the world moves on.

The billionaires are going to bury themselves, you say?

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (17 children)

Why is a horde of geese raising the usaian flag? Because usaians aren't doing s***

In fact, they elected a rapist to president and their reaction to a major pedophile conspiracy being uncovered in their government is to seethe on the interwebs

I honestly wouldn't read too much into these bunkers. Wealth inequality is the bigger issue. Zuck has a net worth of about $220 billion. $100 million to Zuck is like a middle class family with a net worth of $300k spending $136. An underground bunker for Zuck is like dinner and a few drinks for most people.

So why do they have bunkers? Because they can. If you could build a doomsday bunker under your house for a hundred bucks, wouldn't you? People invest far more than that in storm shelters. Read something sinister into it if you want. But this seems like a "because we can" expense more than anything.

Its not really all of a sudden though. These assholes have been building their bunkers for a decade. All part of their schemes.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The only satisfaction I'm getting out of any of this bullshit is the knowledge that these fuckers will at best live a few weeks longer than me after it all goes to shit. In that time they'll have plenty of opportunity to reflect on where they went wrong.

Underground? On an island? On a volcano?

You fool!

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 6 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It would be highly karmic if a natural seismic shift made the island tip or break, sinking his bunker to the bottom of the ocean.
