À propos du survivalisme vu par les puissants, je suis tombé sur ce long mais intéressant article :

The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypsethe GuardianTech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers to survive a societal collapse they helped create, but like everything they do, it has unintended consequences

Rien que cet extrait, déjà :

Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.

This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?

The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.

I tried to reason with them. I made pro-social arguments for partnership and solidarity as the best approaches to our collective, long-term challenges. The way to get your guards to exhibit loyalty in the future was to treat them like friends right now, I explained. Don’t just invest in ammo and electric fences, invest in people and relationships. They rolled their eyes at what must have sounded to them like hippy philosophy.

This was probably the wealthiest, most powerful group I had ever encountered. Yet here they were, asking a Marxist media theorist for advice on where and how to configure their doomsday bunkers. That’s when it hit me: at least as far as these gentlemen were concerned, this was a talk about the future of technology.

je recommande d'utiliser les Eneloop de Panasonic : elles se déchargent beaucoup moins vite que les génériques.

Durée de recharge (panneau solaire) : 20 heures pour une charge complète (2 heures pour 50 mAh pour utiliser la fonction d’alarme de secours)

En vrai c'est pas con de prendre ça sur un ton un peu désinvolte, ça permet de toucher le public mais sans lui faire peur et sans lui donner l'impression de vouloir le commander.

Quel intérêt de parler de guerre à part faire peur ? Soyons honnête, il n'y a pas franchement de risque de guerre (sauf peut-être civile) dans nos contrées.
