These people are such morons. It would take about 2 minutes of an intro level Anthropology class to learn that for like 95% of human history we lived in small groups like this — so we’re definitely able to do it — but they only worked because they were (mostly) egalitarian. They absolutely don’t work when group members consistently value themselves over the group.
Wait until you read about Cryonics...
Demolition Man is free on Tubi right now
Maybe I’ll finally learn how to use the three seashells.

My matrix-connected brain-in-a-jar will be laughing at them.
It'll be funny when they wake up 3000 years from now because aliens want to vivisect them.
They weren't necessarily egalitarian, but they all involved a sense of duty to the community the ability to reinvent the structure of the community, and the freedom to leave. They were also smaller than this. But yeah this is a bunch of people who don't understand how to function in a community like this.
Also I'm not certain why these people are already living in the bunkers
They are so disconnected from reality they think the world has already ended. Evidence of this would be the minor pushback to things like AI they are starting to experience.
A bunch of them went and hid in their bunkers when 9/11 happened. Obviously a pretty bad thing to happen but hardly the end of the world. Sadly they came out about 2 days later because they got bored.
