A remote township in China's arid northwest endured temperatures of more than 52 Celsius (126 Fahrenheit) on Sunday, state media reported, setting a record for a country that was battling minus 50C weather just six months ago.
Self-preserver capitalists are more along the hoarding supplies and creating fortified bases variety. Even Steve Huffman got his laser eye surgery for prepper reasons, according to him. No idea how much that was just a cover story for the pure vanity.
But the amount of preppers in the tech world are increasing, and they’re not looking at ways of keeping anyone else safe but themselves and their families.
They would rather live underground in a bunker in luxury, then share just a litte percentage of their wealth that would benefit more people than themselves.
Most of them aren’t billionaires though. They just own a little land and can afford to build on it, which is high-salary rich but nothing like billionaire rich. They might have a couple of years of comparative comfort at best. The billionaires are on a different level of entirely.
Maybe we should let them bugger out to the Mars. They can try their ancapistan “utopia” there, we’d be rid of the bastards. Win-win. Just put some railguns in orbit, in case their plans won’t work out and they make their way back to Mother Gaia 🙃
Gonna be a fun next century or so
Not if all the capitalists get their shit together and see that short term profits aren’t worth the mid term extinction of humanity.
Which should happen any moment.
Aaaaaaaany moment.

Self preservation is a good motivator, self sacrifice on the behalf of others isn’t unfortunately.
They’d rather self-preserve themselves to Mars than do anything that could self-preserve all humanity

Oh, people have long since realized that they have to do something about it.
The problem is they’ve realized that it’s far cheaper to prepare for their own survival than fix the fuck ups of the world.
