If it gets to that point they will start bankrolling far right militias. They'll bring them into the mainstream with slick propaganda, decent salaries and support from the middle-of-the-road media (which they own).

Think Proud Boys, but made respectable, the backing of a few senators and armed with top of the line hardware.

This is essentially what happened in Ukraine.

I don't think that's likely. The dominant ideology of the world, propped up by education, entertainment and other media is that the rich deserve whatever they have, because they are better people than the poor. Going against this dogma is heresy to most people of the world, they would gladly hurt themselves to help the rich.

This is an immature reaction. We’re talking about Europe, not sub-Saharan Africa. Those same planes would have the wealthy safely out of harm’s way, likely with a good portion of their capital, while the idiots who threw away their peace are left to squabble over remains.

Imagine having all the money in the world to afford a private jet. And you choose to go to Ibiza.

Some rich people like to mingle with the pleb and love flashing their wealth around the great unwashed. It gets them tons of admiration.
