    Fallout S1 reveals what would really happen.

    Tap for spoiler

    Incontent with their underground paradise, they go out and obliterate all forms of civilization that aren’t them.

      Do the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy version then. Load them all into a ship, tell them we’ve discovered a habitable planet and we’re sending our best and brightest to start a new civilization, and fire them into space.

      Pretty sure you could at least get rid of Elon that way.

        Hitchhiker’s Guide kinda did the opposite, the ark was filled with all the people doing the menial, boring and ‘unimportant’ jobs and the other 2 arks died out because they didn’t know how to get basic shit done… well actually it was an un-sanitized telephone but thats how I read the metaphor.

        Too big of a cost.

        Tell them we have a ship, and once they all gather with a big fanfare, roll out the guillotine while fireworks go off.

      What would really happen

      Other greedy fucks and power hungry people would replace them. We need a sustainable way to stop this being possible, banishing the rich by itself wont do shit.

        If they all got thrown into a woodchipper publicly for crimes against humanity while the public cheered I guarantee you’d find people being more hesitant to exhibit the same behaviors and we should abolish the accumulation of wealth above a certain amount

        That’s why I gave up hope. I realized even if they got overthrown, and there was a power change, there would be just a surface-level change, with all the corrupt and sick shit, still happening underneath a democracy-flavored world.

      Not that it isn’t the likely result of said group unexpectedly oozing out of their fuck-off cocoons dotting the wasteland their forebears created, but…

      spoiler

      the vault dwellers weren’t exactly Reavers, sowing psychotic ruin in every step. More like baby Nazis squirming from the nursery vats, blinking in the light of the new world and unaware yet that the world doesn’t want or need them. 🤓🤌🏼
