    I would like for them to find out the hard way that the characteristics to be a leader in a Neo-liberal capitalistic society are not the same in an apocalyptic wasteland.

    And by hard way, I mean that they would be made the fucksock of charismatic warlord.

      Theres a book that an advisor for the billionaire bunkers wrote, sorry my phone is glitchy so I can’t look it up without abandoning this post. I heard an interview with him where he said he would always circle back to “if you use your vast wealth to improve these societal issues, there isn’t a need for a bunker”. They won’t hear it. They’re driving towards the apocalypse because they are all racing to be the richest. Nothing else matters.

        All I’m finding when I drill down is a pulp romance between a billionaire and his scientist ex:

        Everything went as planned…until it didn’t. In a world overrun by a zombie pandemic, a billionaire and his scientist ex race to find a cure before his bunker–and the anZidote–fall in the wrong hands. …>

        A broader search returns a ton of right wing/prepper stuff. Any chance you can find the title?
