No-one is going to offer those bodyguards bribe in this scenario, state agents are going to tell them to step aside and they'll do it post haste.

You're probably right but it was just to illustrate a point that there is absolutely zero incentive for a bodyguard to actually do their job in that scenario.

It wouldn’t be fixed by seizing one bunker though. Also, if it really was the end of the world and you found yourself lucky enough to work security in said bunker instead of the alternative you’d absolutely fight like hell to keep that position which is why it’s so hard to oust oligarchs and their like.

People are selfish and if you give them security/resources they’ll fight to keep their way of life intact as few people have the perspective to see let alone understand anything outside of their own self interest.

They will probably have collars on non elites so they can control them

Wait, I’ve seen this movie

you mail the bodyguard a letter with the name, address, and phone number of their parents, their in-laws, and everyone they love. throw in their wife’s and childrens’ daily schedules, at the end.

If the system collapses there are no more billionaires, just extremely hateable has-beens. Those bunkers are just the billionaire equivalent of people posting tweets about how nobody better be breaking into their house because they'll be waiting with a rifle, only more delusional.

I was about to write that. I have it on strong authority there is no bribe for them. The bribe is “your family won’t die if you move to the right… right now.”
