      I’m pretty sure he has zero doubts that he knows what’s best for the world, and no moral qualms about using his money to buy power. So, yes, I think taking over the world (in his mind, “saving” the world) is probably where this is going.

        I’d like to believe he started off with good intentions (might just be bias based on media coverage from before) and slowly turn to the dark side. It’s crazy what money (and the promise of influence) does to a narcissist.

          He didn’t. He’s like they guys that idolize Rick in Rick and Morty. He talks about colonizing space, and says he’s inspired by the Empire in Foundation, and Warhammer 40k. He’s just a childish fascist

      I think in general the plan of those behind the far right push is weaponized borders, so the (early) victims of climate change won’t be able to reach those responsible once the migrations really get going. Trump’s wall, the anti-migrant rhetoric in general, make the plebs demand “border security” and laugh while you continue to exploit them, and then have them defend you against those whose lands you destroyed.
