How rich I wanna be
I love that image because the American mind cannot comprehend living in a traditional tent inside a cave with your buddies.
I thought that shit looked so dope back in the day
Giant slide down to the bumper cars.
“Last person down is a yankee!”
Oh man, that brings back so many memories. Amazing.
A giant “evil lair” wasn’t too on the nose for the propagandists. They should do a volcano next time or a space station.
Even in survivalist mode krakkers gotta have their useless lawns
That is the most important crop they’re growing there. Gotta pretend you live in Tuscany or what’s the point.
If you genuinely wanted this kind of vibe and had unlimited money, just move to a small but tight knit town with a dense downtown core, put up some walls, and then buy up all the shops and keep the people who work there employed but triple their salaries, and employ everybody else in the town with similarly paid jobs in random new stores for shit you want to exist there. Congrats, you’re now effectively a warlord with a private army and you have a pleasant town to live in, not some weird mcmansion fort with a vegetable garden that can maybe support a toddler.
This would require them being not completely paranoid about the poors stealing all their nice things and feeling like they’re being ripped off by paying the poors more than they’re worth. Being super rich poisons your mind and so they’ll be suckered in by meritocracy and protestant work ethic type stuff that makes them think people need to work non stop to deserve a decent life. So this type of idea, while resulting in a better outcome for them, would seem unappealing because they’d see it as just paying for everyone else to jerk around.
Plus their rich friends who they compare themselves to would make fun of them for making such bad business decisions
It’s bizarre that you’re right, because this is functionally how rich people always worked prior to capitalist brainworms. Rome, China, etc; hell fucking Al Capone worked this way! Warlords always made sure their guys and their families were paid, treated incredibly well, and made to feel invested in whatever enterprise and world they were building. You just need to follow that model and you’ll get Caesar’s Seventh Legion with all these people who would die for you because they know you’re gonna keep everybody they love on the payroll and eating good.
You could basically wall in a small college town and then bankroll it.
how rich i wanna be
how rich i am:
They spent years training and rehearsing that exact mission and still crashed a helicopter
that’s just what helicopters do
How come they didn’t mark the helipad on the perimeter wall?
Dedicating 40% of my land to trash burning
probably had better hazmat safety standards than the typical amerikkkolonizer base burn pit tbh
before i clicked see image, i thought this was a sandcrawler
I’m sure all that agriculture is going to go really well with no source of water.
Rain
Sprinklers
I don’t understand this weird mix of “rugged individualism, but also I need a gated community” thing that Americans obsess over. Like, if you’re already living somewhere remote out in the country, that is your walls, who are these walls keeping out? The immigrant labourers you “hire” to maintain and operate the damn thing?
hogs like this fantasize about using their bass pro shop ar-15 to wage war against the national guard who would hypothetically be imposing martial law to uh, force wokeness on them or something
Wall Keeps animals out too, these people are terrified of nature
That’s true, just imagine, without the wall they might have an animal touching their precious lawn!
The fools forgot to get a net, the birds are going to get in there and just go crazy.
To keep the slaves in
they fantasize about having a chance to be the “rooftop koreans” or the killdozer guy
Goomba fallacy
It’s one single individual expressing both those desires in a single AI image though.
And logical fallacies are meant to be used as a tool to examine and remove flaws in your own argument, not as some kind of internet gotcha.
It wasn’t intended to be a gotcha, I thought you were conflating 2 unrelated stances.
I think calling the above a gated community would be the same as calling any farm a gated community, it feels wrong.
Feudalism role play.
Ah the CHUD desire to be a feudal manor lord
solar punk with american characteristics. that “multi-generational” housing is atrocious.
They never want a multistorey arcology
Which one?
Taiwan CoProsperity Region
what did Sidthey mean by this?e: oh right it wasn’t a Sid Meier game
Just live in one big house like all the other bourgeoisie in history…
I think the entire plot inside the walls is enough pasture for one cattle. That cattle pad would starve them.
My thoughts exactly. Walling in your herd of fantasy cattle is the most baby-brained move. There’s a reason that nobody did that in the history of ever.
That entire space needs to be vegetables or the whole family’s gonna die of malnutrition.
How rich I wanna be
Those fools left the wind turbine outside the wall! It will soon be mine! MINE!
how rich i wanna be:
C’mon gotta put that sister’s house directly between your parents and grandparents as a buffer.
Just trying to live in the neighbourhood from the Parable of the Sower but with less community and worse planning
