You're confusing the 0.01% (what I'm talking about) with the 10%.
I'm not talking about a suburb of mcmansions planning decades ahead, I mean the ones living on private islands.
And the 0.1% are fine with burning down the system, because they're already on top. They essentially already live as kings. Musk just built a full on town as his fiefdom even.
Ok but this statement would refer to the 0.01% not the 10%
So the .01% are the ones you're saying that are planning decades ahead. I don't think that's true, they don't have some sort of master plan for society.
I think we've entered the era of the rich running out of good exploits for the peasants, so we're seeing them self-cannibalize each other. All of our current economy has moved beyond screwing over workers and customers and is now based on the .01% screwing over the 10% that they pretended was part of their class for awhile.
They only have the most half hearted approach to what comes after that process is complete. They might build a dumb bunker or cosplay at being a post apocalypse warlord, but their 'plans' aren't much beyond a tabletop game roleplay.
We are seeing them self-cannibalize, otherwise known as the 0.01% consolidating it's power.
