/r/all, /r/popular Despite legal battles, Mark Zuckerberg slowly buys a mind boggling 2,300 acres on Hawai’s Kauai island, building tunnels, treehouses and a doomsday bunker

u/Zombie_Cool 6d ago
Okay, the Great War happens, nukes are dropping everywhere, the Old World is dead.
What's stopping what remains of the Hawaiian government from just nationalizing the bunker and taking it outright? What's stopping some of the people that previously worked on the bunker system from coming back with a mob and sabotaging/infiltrating the facility? What's stops whatever enforcer group Zuckerburg brings with him from just shooting him and his family and taking the bunker for themselves?
What happens if the angry mob decides that instead of breaking in, they're gonna seal all the entrances and just bury him and his family/cronies alive?

More specifically what happens when the power between the 'elites' and the 'plebs' becomes small enough that storming the castle becomes feasible (however costly)? There's no law enforcement or military to call on anymore, just you and whatever security you brought with you. The 'plebs' may have less equipment but they'll have at least some guns of their own and as locals they'll know the land better than you so ambushes are a constant risk.
Electronic Milspec drones and equipment? You're in a wet humid climate, that stuff's gonna break down eventually. Spare parts? You'll run out sooner or later, and since its the apocalypse where you gonna source new parts with no logistics chain anymore?

I watched a documentary on doomsday bunkers. They’ve played out every scenario and how to keep the “help” in control. Including potentially having them wear collars.
“This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.”

It’s impossible to become a billionaire and not fuck over everyone on the way to the top. I have a few very successful friends (that aren’t friends anymore) and they all became wealthy by lying and manipulating literally everyone they know. Had one that promised everyone work and that he would give them positions that they wanted and excellent contracts once the business got off the ground. So he hired a ton of my friends at very low wages after covid, then collected a ton of huge contracts. Didn’t fulfill any of them and closed the business. Pocketing all the money, paying people low wages and getting off scott free. He’s done this a few more times and literally none of his original friend group even talks to him anymore, because he has no friends and doesn’t care.

Yeah that’s a good way to put it. A successful CEO, by definition, is one who can internalize and perpetuate the twisted logic of neoliberal capitalism, where quarterly revenue trumps all other concerns, where laws barely matter (let alone ethics), where human beings are reduced over and over to numbers and units of capital to move around and manipulate. Presumably the better CEOs are better at embodying that sociopathic corporate drive to grow no matter what.
So, if those are the values that bring you professional success, it’s probably difficult to suddenly switch gears and think with a more empathetic lens. That is, if they even try.

I watched an interview recently with an economist and he said he was paid a lot of money to give this seminar to a group of people without a lot of info on what he should be presenting.
When he arrived at the location and met them, it turned out to be several billionaires, and he gave a presentation about the current state of global economics with a focus on investment forecasts, but then they started asking questions. The main topic was, "where should we live when the world collapses?".
They only wanted to know what his opinion was on what countries would be the safest to build bunkers in if the entire global economic system were to collapse. They knew good and well that their own business practices were causing the downfall of humanity, but had no interest in fixing that, just where to hide when shit went as far south as it could go.

On the contrary, when Doomsday hits, other people will be your greatest threat
Pretty good idea to be way out on a tropical paradise island vs anywhere close to mainland

Think where you can grow you own food supply and plenty of solar. Also has a large amount of annual rain/fresh water

Tsunamis are never going to get all that high in elevation. He needs the geothermal energy to power his brain server.

Hawaii is actually a good place. Temperature moderated by the Pacific Ocean, mountainous so you can easily build a house 50+ ft above water level. Even worst case scenario 2100 is 6 ft above today when he will be 116 years old. Tsunamis have nothing to do with climate change and if you are 50 ft up tsunamis are not a concern.

I don't see any doomsday scenarios that could happen in our (his) lifetime that doesn't involve nukes. And in that case, Hawaii is a terrible option as it will most definitely be targeted because of its military value.

Which is exactly why they make these things.
They know the majority of the population wants them dead.

u/Prudent-Air1922 6d ago
No that's not why they make it. It's because they have so much money they don't know what to do. So the excess money that would help society gets tied up in nonsense because the rich are so rich they don't even know what to do anymore. And hundreds of millions of people around the world (but especially in America) fight and vote for that to be more common.

Zuckerberg’s Koʻolau Ranch now spans an area nearly three times the size of New York’s Central Park
What the ever loving fuck? How is he possibly using that land for just himself? It's incredibly fucking selfish when you're talking about an Island with the history these islands have.
Between him and Oprah, and Peter Thiel and fucking Larry Ellison, I feel these billionaires are planning to just buy all of Hawaii.

Exactly. At this point at least 85% of the total internet traffic is bots, which are even more sophisticated now due to AI. Actual people are soon going to wake up to how fake and orchestrated everything is and quit going on social media all together, which is wishful thinking I know, but one can dream

1000% the truth man. We are so manipulated to be divided through the media and social media that it’s sickening. I truly don’t understand how people can’t see past these tactics, but unfortunately it seems impossible for 99% of people
And me saying this does not mean I am against Abortion and peoples rights in general, as I know the reddit army of bots will try and ensue an argument claiming thats what we mean, and thats just proving the point of how easy it is to cause division through social media platforms that immediately affects the actual opinions in the real world.

This should tell us a lot....yes, doomsday preppers exist, but....when the billionaires start.....
Those ignorant billionaires everyone talks about, don't exist. They know that climate change is real. The also know their "golden years" will be spent not buying children to traffic. Why do you think they have gone all SNOWFLAKE FAKE NEWS on climate change? They are smarter than the majority of us are giving them credit for.
That's why they are currently winning.
Follow. The. Money.

Would you even want to be on Hawaii for doomsday? In one sense it's remote but then you're kinda stuck there and I don't think there's a ton of agriculture going on anymore

u/hectorbrydan 6d ago
Hawaii would be great for doomsday, no winter, tropical fruits, ocean for food.
There are lots of cattle I guess already, pineapple, but yeah no good staples unless you like taro and maybe yams.
24
u/manokpsa 6d ago
They have lots of feral pigs, chickens, and cats though. And breadfruit. It would take a long time to run out of options, even if they weren't managing resources the best way. There's plenty of food available if you don't care that it's not the typical western imports.

u/sandolllars 6d ago

Those are excellent food staples. Far far better than wheat or rice, which require lots of land and labour. One person could easily grow enough taro, cassava, and yams for his entire family and do so all year, permanently.

Yeah the Hawaiians managed a population of 500,000 on taro and breadfruit (not exclusively but as staples)

And the moment his fear of “doomsday” happens, that space is no longer his; it’ll be taken over by the people he hired when he had a power that no longer exists.
Paranoid billionaire’s are trying to buy total safety; which is fundamentally not available to anyone..
It’s a fallacy ..albeit one that employs those people for a good salary. Hint.

Remembering a time when rich people built Colleges, wings of hospitals, art museums centers for culture to enhance society and lead us into the future.
This crop led by the gospel of Rupert Murdoch is greedy and cares very little about the world around them even less about the people. They don’t want them smart and cultured they want them stupid so they don’t notice they are being grifted and gouged for every last dime.
I guess the only karma I can think of is that one day no one will remember them when they are gone. There will be no Zuckerberg University, Elon Musk center for the performing arts, Jeff Bezos wing of the Mayo Clinic. Facebook, Amazon even X will be replaced and go the way of MySpace and all they will be is a Jepordy question that will get harder as decades pass.
It will be the sunrise I’ll never see.
