@teknomunk @TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler @sickburnbro >as the rulers try to run off with everything of value they can get their grubbly little hands on.
Already happening.
I think about this quite often. Once we've won we'll need some international system in place to catch them and kill them.

@dubbub @teknomunk @TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler this screenshot though is standard dumb GOP budget drama bullshit. The AF pays 90k for the bushings because that's how they adapted to retaining key US based suppliers for things that they don't need a lot of (right now)

@sickburnbro @teknomunk @TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler Dude, that bag of bushings is like 100 bucks tops on aliexpress. You can overpay several times to keep in industry working, but not a thousand times. Clearly a lot of theft is going on there. Same with the FTX fraud of Ukraine money. If you see the collapse on the horizon so do they, and they're grabbing all they can.

@c @teknomunk @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler @TrevorGoodchild @sickburnbro They probably won't emigrate to some tax haven, but somewhere where they're safe, like China, like the jews emigrated in the Middle Ages to Poland. Their host country would also be able to extract a large amount of the wealth through import tax, or all sorts of taxes. Their host country can also just outright kill them and keep 100%.
I don't know what kind of deal will have to be made, but just having these traitors dead is for me reward in itself.

@dubbub @c @teknomunk @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler @TrevorGoodchild what kind of wealth are these people going to have that make them worth the trouble they'll bring for china?
They would certainly make exceptions for people with billions of dollars, but this isn't 500 years ago, there isn't tons of just unused forest where you can let the weirdos with cash set up, and then also keep an eye on them.

I think about this a lot too. Make deals with countries like New Zealand to extradite these criminals back to the west for justice. They can keep X% of the money stolen and returned. It shouldn't be much though. Alternative will be nuking every square inch of the haven country. Actually, don't make it a deal. Make it a threat.

@dubbub @c @teknomunk @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler @TrevorGoodchild yes, but what I'm saying is that china doesn't need fucking dumb westerns that obviously were part of ruining THEIR OWN society invited in, in any large number. And they are well aware of this.

@sickburnbro @c @teknomunk @DW2 @KarlDahl @TeaTootler @TrevorGoodchild Idk, economic/investment citizenships/residencies range from 250k to 2mil rn, so maybe 10x - 100x that? Certainly a lot of if not everyone from the nomenklatura could manage the lower estimate, and when it comes to living hunted in a post-collapse society vs comfy upper-middle-class far away, the choice is obvious.
