then we better hope the oil stuff crashes their economy asap, i really don't want to see what an empire-ending climate change crisis would look like.

i suspect that they're going to use nukes once their oil stuff is truly threatened

then they better come up with a new way to keep rule of the world like they are rn, because they will be throwing their hegemony in the trash and they are not the only ones with nukes.

though to be fair detonating the planet and ending life on earth as we know it because they can't have it all to themselves anymore is something i can totally see them do 🥲

the plan is to go hide in their bunkers & safe spotss while civilization collapses from climate change and then come out of their bunkers later to then continue dominating the remaining 2% of humanity that survived the fallout on the surface.

writing this out makes me wish that i was making this up rn.

I hope whatever happens, there are enough of us left to fill their damn air vents with cement before we succumb to whatever world-ending catastrophe finally pushes them into the bunkers in the first place.

we would have to re-learn how to make planes; relearn how to pump oil to fuel them; and relearn how to make powerful enough weapons again after the apocalypse so we can fly to their island bunker fortresses and fight off their private armies to do that.

and that's assuming that we can collectively remember where the bunkers are located; we don't even know where most of them are right now.

new zealand being missing from a lot of maps is a bourgeois conspiracy to erase it because they will use it as a bunker.

how could we reach new zealand without reliable access to oil or electricity? are wind sails viable for such a trip? asking for a friend.

The Maori got there by sea in the first place. Time to start practicing with a sextant and charts.

i feel not even they are having fun in this miserable bullshit they created. like how deranged can you be.

maybe we should be building ours just in case this whole behead them and scramble to fix it thing turns out to not go as well as we would all want.

how deranged can you be until you can’t be satisfied anymore.

i imagine that would be the dr evil guy in the epstein files. lol
