History guides us well in this fallacy. No matter the wealth or influence of a person, we're all just humans in the end. Look at Carthage [0], it was 100 years before major settlements began after their bronze-age war. No ammount of wealth saved their elites. Look at the Zone Rouge [1] and the ecological effects we still see today. That land is just outside of Paris and used to be some of the most beautiful in Europe before the first modern war. Now it is toxic. Look at Chernobyl or Fukushima. Radiation cares not for your credit card color. True, in some of these instances, the wealthy could and did flee. But they had to flee to escape and could not stay. When the whole world is a Zone Rouge, where can they flee to? For how long? Time and again we see that it is not long at all.
