The American upper class has spent so long being shielded from the fallout of its actions that it believes itself invincible.
That’s not a class issue nearly so much as it is an 83-year-olds be stubborn problem
What a perfect microcosm story for why we’re completely screwed by climate collapse. People would complain about how heavy handed the symbolism is if this was in a movie
I know you’re just repeating a common joke, but people would absolutely not complain, in fact they would applaud it as subtle and complex and needing 200 IQ to understand. See all the discourse around “Don’t Look Up” which must have been the most heavy handed movie I’ve seen in a decade, and people praised it to high heavens foe being a “clever metaphor” etc
I feel like it’s only possible to come across as heavy handed if the satire is objectively less subtle than reality. In a world where climate science has shown us our future for decades now and people continue to bury their head in the sand, it’s really just documentary about what would genuinely happen if a large scale disaster were to occur. I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly clever metaphor, but I think you can’t satirize climate change denial hard enough at this point.

If it collapses and he survives, it’ll be blamed on communist earthbenders. No introspection whatsoever. The commies sabotaged his perfectly safe mansion
greek tragedy level hubris
Damn if I was 82 and had a giant beachside mansion I would stay in it too. Great way to go out, ride that sucker into hell.
Probably same. I’d be too old to move to another house. Fuck that.
God those books fucking slap

Inshallah, tongzhi Gaming… though others’ towns, like yours, aren’t exactly invincible to such courses of nature

Wealthy old man biding his time while a landslide undercuts his support. Very uncommitted to doing anything about it. Where have I seen this before?

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that they have somehow jacked up their insurance policy on the house and everything in it (or that they claim is in it) and are just going to use this as an excuse to rake it in on a property that’s been doomed for some time now.
