I do believe you are correct.

All you have to do is to check the news, of course you are not going to find it in your local papers what takes place in other parts of the world.

Yes, it will have to blow up at some point.

They are isolating themselves from the results of their utopia.

Everyone should have a plan of some sort. No surprise that the richer among us can actually build a bunker or fortress. The more immediate thing for everyone is some basic prep, a filled pantry, some food, ammunition and arms. Water will trip me up, but I live in a desert, so no surprise there.

Good post—a variation of the old John Adams quote would be that a bunker is only appropriate for a moral and religious community.

Otherwise they will quickly revert to hatred and become savages.

Once the greedy slime slink like rats underground we should fill over their luxury rat dens and leave them there for volcanic activity to deaL with.

Late last year it emerged Mark Zuckerberg was building a $100 million hidden fortress buried beneath his Hawaiian island ranch, complete with its own energy and food supplies and blast-resistant doors.

Small island in the middle of the Pacific. Might not be the best plan.

A false premise and pure click-bait.

You don’t buy insurance because you expect you’ll have a kidney fail or get into an auto crash, you buy insurance because you you’d rather take the loss on buying the insurance than stand the potential loss from a medical or automotive (or home owner’s) catastrophe.

They’re not building bunkers because they’re expecting TEOTWAWKI, they’re building bunkers because they’ve got the discretionary cash, and they reckon a bunker might come in handy. Even if the SHTF never comes, they still make for a dandy wine cellar.

They are planning the biggest genocide in history. Bigger by several orders of magnitude.
They are saving the planet for themselves (plus just enough peasants to keep them fed).

“insurance”

It is like buying insurance and then condemning average folks who also buy insurance as right wing conspiracy theorists.

They know a lot, but may not be up to date on drones.

Reminds me of 1960 when the fad for the rich was to build fallout shelters in their homes and backyards.
Twilight Zone “THE SHELTER” comes to mind.
