This is an English translation of an article I wrote for a German magazine. The article looks into the post apocalyptic strategies the wealthy and ultrarich are focusing on. Main point: The rich are as afraid of the collapse of society as anyone else, but their means to face the calamity are on another level.
from all the rich idiots out there you really had to pick Bill Gates?
He’s the clearest example of a wanker billionaire who then started publicly pandering to create a legacy of him being a lovely wholesome guy.
He isn’t a wholesome lovely guy, he never was. He’s trying to save face.
The charity money still does good things, and that’s great, but donating money to charity and telling the world about it doesn’t make you a great person.
The likes of Bezos and Zuckerberg will 100% do the same thing when they’re old. It worked wonders for Bill’s image. He and his team have successfully turned him from the devil incarnate to bubbly grandpa of internet teenagers.
ah yes…
