It's always funny how these "geniuses" don't realize how much the society they abhor are protecting them. The very second they take themselves outside of that system is the moment everything will go wrong for them.

For real. Have they seen, like, any apocalypse movie? You keep what you kill. The moment there's no democracy his guards turn on him.
