What's more likely is that realize this is a change to enact a second gilded age, a full oligarchy where the rich rule explicity.
isnt that precisely the point op is making?
i doubt societal collapse will put everyone on equal footing to grab at power, the billionaires still control our food production and all the basics we need for survival.
they may lose their yatches, but i doubt they arent planning on a different form of control.
why else would they grab and jerk the wheel of power so vigorously like this? i think they expect capitalism to collapse due to climate change or similar and are pivoting to something else...
ssssshhhhhh!!
shush about this one!
i dont get this one
sure, heres my social media accounts i dont use
collapse of civilization would just reduce their power and control over us.
not if they hoard the resources that money represents
ok that one was hilarious. they werent even vetting who was on the damn group chat.
you can beam tiny amounts of it ota. it just needs to be very power efficient.
the obvious solution to this problem is running a convenient wire from your eyeball 🤪
im not saying it wouldnt be a challenge, but isnt solar panel tech possible here?
it just has to be really power efficient.
we already have tiny flexible screens and the means to beam video data to it wirelessly. we also have microscopic chip litography to handle it.

i think we will sadly see absolute control before the "apocalypse". this is what they seem to be jumping the gun on.
i say this because fascism is used by capitalists to assert control, but there wasnt strong pushback to justify it. they are smarter than they make it look like and seem to be planning ahead.
they already do this, not just in the US... thats why everyone else is struggling, its not like our work is valueless, its that value is being siphoned to oligarchs pockets.
