none of these chumps are thinking coherently about what security looks like in a society where your money isn't worth anything
Was it spez who had the idea "what if the security guards have to wear bomb collars linked to a fail-deadly dead-man's switch, to keep them in line?" At least some of them are thinking of cartoonish ways to do it, and I'm sure some of them are quietly thinking about more realistic setting-oneself-up-as-a-warlord fantasies.
and then we clone the super soldier security guards to be at my command and then -
[local warlord]
Unironically a good idea for a sci-fi novel to critique capitalism.
The ruling class intentionally creating all of these problems because they're bored and this is their idea of fun.
a real criminal, not some bloodless nerd, is gonna roll these guys so fast
I think only Bezos has what it takes for warlordism
Bezos will be an absolutely miserable warlord as soon as he realizes he's got to work for a living.
Going to fill my house with explosives. And also lots of flammable materials. What could go wrong?
These idiots are tech engineers first and foremost. They don't have the political knowledge nor do they have the financial knowledge to grasp power.
The finance bougs are more likely to set themselves up as feudal lords. These idiots will try and Saw their way through things with no understanding that this will only temporarily work until someone finds a gap in the system they've engineered and offs them.
you can only pay security guards in buckets of dehydrated potatoes for so long
Normal person: We're killing the planet and I'm going to have to live in a bunker in the apocalypse 
Billionaire: I'm killing the planet and I'm going to have to live in a bunker in the apocalypse 
Maybe his fresh air ventilation shafts get filled with lots of lava.
get the red guard to drill a hole and pump in noxious gas
The only difference between him and a Bond villain is that the latter call it an "underground lair".
castles at least had administrative functions
the mind that imagines they can personally insult and steal from hundreds of people connected by identity, blood, geography, traditional ecological knowledge, shared history and culture and then avoid the swift retribution that would surely follow the collapse of the social order that facilitated the theft.
it's like being the warden of a prison, relocating all of the toilet paper and food to your personal office under armed guard, and then expecting to be in a great position when all the guards walk off the job during a riot.
Is this the One Piece I keep hearing about?
This is Crocodile coded the way that he's manipulating the people of the island and destroying the ecosystem to further his own ambition. If he's harboring a poneglyph down there in the bunker, then we know "Cyborg" Zucc is seeking the treasure
"Western culture is superior because we are the only people who respect property."
elect me president and I will drone strike the zuccc
