    Let’s be honest, this will end up with only the ultra-rich surviving in the last few strips of livable surface of the planet - and them elated to have finally “culled the undeserving” as they have been hoping for for millennia.

      Look at previous violent revolutions and see who died and who lived. I wouldn’t bet on the ultra-rich, there are simple more of the rest but a new elite will rule, just like the old one.

      Nah, the rich will be eaten. Since their power completely relies on society. Taliban in the Mountains of Afghanistan will be fine and will be fighting off a alien occupation in 1000 years.

          If you look at the Bronze Age collapse, its the nomadic mountain people that survive.

        Funny you say that considering anyone earning more than 40k USD yearly is part of the 2.6 percentile of the richest population GLOBALLY.

        Seeing as 90% of us in south America earn even less than half of that, I’d suggest y’all prepare to be eaten by the starving poor masses of the global south

      Nah, history is your best teacher here. They will try that, get murdered, and be replaced by a crude junta while the rest of us starve

      Then the ultra rich will perish because they don’t know how to survive cause they don’t have the “plebs” to do any of the underling work.

      “What do I do when my motor makes this sound?!”

        That’s why the concept of artificial intelligence is so appealing to them - having a compilation of all human knowledge, without actually having to deal with humans claiming “nonsense” like human rights and a livable wage.

      Not quite. Once global economies collapse, being wealthy won’t mean jack shit.

      You’ll likely have the best chance of survival if you know survival skills such as hunting, foraging, and how to build a shelter.

        Funny you say it like that… I know some self-un-survival skills, so that should also work out fine.

        I’ve been campaigning about climate change since I learned about it, all told over thirty years, and those bastards have been gutting the planet the whole time. I’m wholly in favour of the any means necessary approach

        Because they’re causing this shit for decades now, solely because of their greed. If most of them suddenly have a change of heart and decide to put their power to help the world then opinions about them will improve, until then it’s pretty justifiable to want to lynch those responsible one by one like the unhinged murderers they are.
