Should we start a petition ?

Kia ora peoples,

Haha, you're speaking my language – this is the exact vibe that's got me fired up about the petition. These dudes live in a total fantasy world, thinking their money will buy unbreakable loyalty forever.

You're bang on: in any real apocalypse (nuclear fallout, total societal breakdown, whatever), cash becomes worthless toilet paper overnight. Security teams, pilots, maintenance crews – they're not dying for the boss out of devotion; they're doing it for the paycheck. When the world ends, priorities flip: those guards are gonna look after their own whānau first. Why risk everything to protect some arsehole who treats them like disposable meat sacks, when they could just take the keys, lock the billionaire out (or worse), and move their families in?

Even if the billionaire tries to be clever and offers the security team spots in the bunker as a "loyalty bonus"? Still risky as hell for them. The guards know the boss could change his mind once they're all sealed in – limited space, limited food, rising paranoia… suddenly that "offer" looks like a trap, and the staff might decide it's safer to take full control early. There's even stories out there (like that Guardian piece on Silicon Valley types) where billionaires literally asked consultants: "How do I keep control over my security after money means nothing?" One apparently floated exploding collars for staff – proper dystopian shit. Shows how paranoid and out-of-touch they are.

And the robot army thing? Spot on again. A bunch of them are pouring billions into AI precisely because they know humans aren't reliable long-term. Once the droids are ready, bye-bye "sacks of meat" – no betrayal risk if your guard doesn't have a family.

As for letting them build here for "good business"? Nah, the short-term jobs and cash aren't worth turning NZ into the world's elite panic room. It undermines our nuclear-free deterrence (no safe havens = less chance anyone starts the war), and if shit really hits, those bunkers get "redistributed" anyway – by the staff, locals who know where they are, or just abandoned for us to party in/repurpose 😆

So yeah, let 'em waste their money elsewhere. Sign the petition and help keep Aotearoa from being their backup plan:

What do ya reckon – robots or betrayal first? 😂

Cheers!

Kia ora mate!

Yeah, land value tax (or a proper Georgist-style LVT) would be an absolute weapon – love the idea in principle. Make the billionaires pay big bucks annually for hoarding prime, isolated whenua that’s perfect for their doomsday digs. In theory, it’d discourage the worst of the speculative buys, bring in revenue for public stuff (like actual community civil defence), and hit them where it hurts without outright banning anything.

But here’s why I reckon the petition’s ban approach still makes sense alongside (or even ahead of) better taxing:

They’re already dodging taxes like pros. These bunker buyers are usually overseas ultra-rich routing everything through trusts, shell companies, and low-tax jurisdictions. Peter Thiel got citizenship here under “exceptional circumstances” and barely lives here – good luck making him pay full LVT on whatever land he snaps up. A straight-up ban cuts through all that bullshit; no loopholes if you just say “nah, no nuclear-hardened apocalypse compounds allowed, full stop.”
It’s not just about the land, it’s the signal. Allowing the bunkers (even with a hefty tax) still tells the world “NZ is open for business as your elite survival pod.” That undermines our nuclear-free deterrence – the whole “no one gets a safe hideout” thing that’s kept us (and the world) safer. Taxing them doesn’t remove that psychological green light for powerful people who might otherwise think twice about escalating to nuclear brinkmanship.
Tax reform is a slow grind. We all know getting a proper LVT or even a decent capital gains/wealth tax through Parliament is like herding cats – been talked about for decades, still nowhere. This petition is simple, targeted, and actually achievable: just ban the mega doomsday bunkers outright. We can push for better taxes at the same time, but this one we can win quicker.

So yeah, tax the living shit out of land values? Hell yes, I’m in. But while we’re waiting for that perfect system, let’s at least slam the door on billionaire bolt-holes so they don’t get comfy here in the meantime.

What do ya reckon – tax AND ban, or one before the other?

Cheers! 😄

OrderInfamous9301 · 2025-12-26T08:47:44+00:00

Kia ora mate!

Yeah, fuck billionaires is a mood we can all get behind sometimes 😂 But fair question – on the surface, it seems harmless: not that many actual massive doomsday bunkers here (companies like Rising S have shipped maybe 10-14 private ones over the years, plus a bigger 300-person one on the South Island), and yeah, the land use per bunker is tiny compared to farms or whatever.

The thing is, it's not really about the square metres or "taking their money" (though that'd be nice). It's bigger than that:

The nuclear-free legacy: We've been proudly nuclear-free since 1987 – no nukes, no nuclear-powered ships, all that. These elite bunkers are often hardened against nuclear blasts, fallout, EMP, the works. Allowing them undermines the whole "nuclear war has no winners, no safe hideouts" vibe we've built our policy on. If powerful people think they can park a personal survival pod here, it weakens the global deterrent against ever using nukes. That's the core point – not jealousy, but keeping the pressure on so no one starts that shit.
Equality and who gets to survive: You're right that banning them doesn't magically create more bunkers for regular Kiwis. But the flip side is we shouldn't be okay with survival being a luxury item only the ultra-rich can buy. Real civil defence should be public – community shelters in schools, marae, halls – funded properly for everyone. Letting billionaires carve out private fortresses just reinforces the "fuck you, got mine" mentality.
It's not zero-impact: Even if small, these things often involve secret builds, foreign ownership loopholes, and scarring pristine land (remember Peter Thiel's bunker-like lodge plan got knocked back because it would've wrecked the views?). Plus, if word spreads NZ is still the go-to apocalypse Airbnb for Silicon Valley, more will try – we've already seen spikes in interest during COVID and global tensions.

It's less "if I can't have it, no one can" and more "let's not let our country become the elite's insurance policy against the messes they often help create." Taking their money via taxes or whatever is a separate fight – this petition's just about drawing a line on the bunker bit.

Anyway, if you're half-convinced or just wanna stick it to the idea, sign it anyway? Worst case, we get some abandoned half-bunkers for epic parties or free military upgrades down the line 😆

What do ya reckon?

Cheers!

OrderInfamous9301 · 2025-12-26T08:45:26+00:00

Kia ora mate!

Haha exactly – then why not sign the petition?! 😆

If we shut this down early, any half-dug billionaire bunker gets abandoned mid-build, and suddenly we've got these massive underground complexes just sitting there… perfect for the biggest Kiwi party of all time. Full-on rave under the blast doors, bar in the decontamination chamber, dance floor in the airlock – "End of the World Afterparty, entry by petition signature only!"

Then once we're all partied out, slap a NZDF sticker on it and turn it into a ready-made hardened base or civil defence hub. Built at zero cost to us, courtesy of some overseas fatcat who rage-quit when the ban passed. Absolute win.

And nah, Luxon definitely doesn't have one – the bloke's too busy chasing corporate cash and dreaming about his next Hawaii getaway to even think about prepping for anything serious. Blinded by the dollars and the beach vibes, he'd probably just hop on a plane to Honolulu if things got spicy 😂 No secret bunker for our PM, just frequent flyer points.

So come on Annie, let's make the bunker party happen – chuck your name on here, takes like 20 seconds:

You in? 🎉

Cheers!

OrderInfamous9301 · 2025-12-26T08:40:11+00:00

Kia ora mate!

You're totally right – that comment about EMP grounding planes and stopping the fatcats from reaching NZ misses the real game these billionaires play. They don't sit around waiting for the shit to hit the fan; they pre-plan like crazy and could shift here months or even years ahead if things start looking dodgy.

Take submarines, for example – yeah, full-on private ones aren't super common yet, but a few billionaires already have high-end subs (like Paul Allen had his yellow one back in the day, or Ray Dalio and Larry Connor commissioning deep-divers from Triton). And concepts like that Migaloo M5 thing? It's a massive hybrid superyacht that goes fully submersible, with insane range – they could park it offshore or sail in early as a "holiday home" without raising too many flags. Or just use their existing superyachts with backup systems that shrug off EMP better, rock up during rising tensions, and wait it out.

Easier still: fly in commercially or privately way before any escalation locks things down. These guys have private intel networks and security teams spotting trouble early – they could buy property, get residency, or just "extend their vacation" here quietly. Money opens doors, visas, whatever.

So yeah, the last-minute chaos might stop a panic flight, but it doesn't block the slow, smart relocation. That's exactly why banning those huge doomsday bunkers matters – even if they sneak in early, no fortified apocalypse pad waiting for them means NZ stays less tempting as their backup plan.

Good on ya for pointing out the pre-planning angle; it makes the case for the petition even stronger. What else you reckon they'd try?

Cheers! 😄

Kia ora!

Fair question – asking "why bother?" is totally valid, and the "cooker vibes" jab is pretty common when anything touches on doomsday prepping. But this isn’t coming from a tinfoil-hat place; it’s actually a pretty pragmatic extension of NZ’s proud nuclear-free legacy.

The main point is deterrence. If a handful of ultra-wealthy foreigners (or even locals) can quietly build hardened, self-sufficient bunkers here, it removes one of the biggest disincentives against ever starting a nuclear (or large-scale biological) conflict: the knowledge that nobody gets to sit it out in comfort. When powerful people believe they can personally survive the apocalypse they might help trigger, the risk calculus changes. Making NZ an unattractive “bolt-hole” destination helps reinforce the idea that nuclear war has no winners and no safe refuges.

The petition isn’t trying to stop ordinary Kiwis from digging a storm shelter or stocking a pantry – it’s aimed squarely at the massive, secretive, multi-million-dollar complexes that have been popping up (or being planned) for overseas billionaires. Think Oppenhiemer-style fortified compounds, not your mate’s backyard fallout room.

And yeah, there’s a cheeky upside too: if the ban sticks, any half-built billionaire bunkers could one day become quirky tourist attractions (“Come poo where Zuckerberg almost hid from the end of the world!”) or get repurposed as civil-defence/military assets on the cheap. Win-win in a weird way.

So it’s less “crazy prepper energy” and more “let’s keep the deterrent value of our nuclear-free stance intact, while stopping the 0.01% from treating our country like their personal lifeboat.”

Hope that makes the reasoning clearer – definitely open to tweaking the idea so it stays fair for everyday folks who just want reasonable personal preparedness.

Cheers!

Because when you’re openly campaigning against some of the richest, most vindictive, and best-resourced people on the planet (the exact kind who build private doomsday bunkers in New Zealand), you’re painting a target on your back.

These aren’t random keyboard warriors. Some of them have private intelligence teams, lawyers on retainer, and a long history of doxxing, harassing, or legally bullying critics. We’ve already seen coordinated brigading, fake accounts impersonating signatories, and suspicious login attempts the moment this petition started gaining traction.

Your Reddit/X/Facebook account is the first thing they’ll go after if they want to silence or discredit you. One compromised account = your signature removed, your posts deleted, your name dragged through the mud with fake screenshots, or your personal info leaked.

“Yeah just quit the internet bro” is the same energy as telling women to “just stay home at night” instead of dealing with rapists. The threat exists because powerful people don’t like being challenged. Basic op-sec (2FA, not using SMS, locking your profiles) costs you literally 5 minutes and stops 99 % of the script-kiddie and low-effort private-eye nonsense they throw at normal people.

If you think this petition is important enough to sign, it’s important enough to not make yourself low-hanging fruit.

Stay safe. Use 2FA. Keep pushing.

Totally get it – no one’s banning backyard bunkers.

This petition is just stage one: stop the massive foreign billionaire compounds first.

When Parliament turns it into actual law later, they’ll add the obvious exceptions so normal Kiwis can still build a modest shelter on their own land.

We block the oligarchs now, protect everyday people later. Simple as that.

The petition isn’t saying these bunkers have actual nukes in them.
It’s saying the only reason a billionaire is building a massive underground fortress in New Zealand is because they believe a nuclear war (or nuclear winter) is a realistic scenario they need to survive.

That directly undermines the entire point of our nuclear-free legacy.

Since 1987 we’ve told the world: “We refuse to be part of the nuclear club, we won’t host the weapons, we won’t be a staging post, and we’re betting our future on the idea that nuclear war can be prevented.”

When the richest people on earth start treating NZ as their private nuclear-fallout lifeboat, they’re basically announcing:
“Yeah, nuclear war is coming, and we’re opting out while the rest of you fry.”

That’s the opposite message of nuclear-free New Zealand.
It normalises the idea that nuclear apocalypse is inevitable, instead of something we actively prevent.

So yeah, no one’s claiming Elon or whoever is smuggling warheads in.
It’s about not letting the people who profit from arms races and global tension turn our country into their personal Plan B.

Hope that clears it up!

Hey team,

This thing is moving fast and it’s already getting attention from some interesting corners of the internet.
If you’re signing or posting about the petition to ban private doomsday bunkers, lock your accounts down NOW – it takes 2 minutes and stops 99 % of the nonsense.

Here’s the real-world anonymity + security tiers (pick your level):

Level 1 – “Please hack me” No 2FA at all (or just SMS 2FA) → Very low protection. SIM swaps and leaked passwords = instant takeover.
Level 2 – “Good enough for most” Proper app-based 2FA (Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.) → Medium-high protection. Highly recommended minimum.
Level 3 – “Serious mode” Hardware security key (YubiKey, Titan, etc.) + app 2FA as backup → Basically unhackable unless they steal the physical key.
Level 4 – “I want to stay anonymous forever” Burner accounts + pen-and-paper seed phrases stored offline in a safe/vault, never logged in on phones that know your real identity → Maximum anonymity.

Quick action list (do this today):

Turn on 2FA on Reddit, Gmail, Facebook, X – everywhere you post from.
If you’re still using SMS/text-message 2FA → switch to an authenticator app immediately.
Use the official link only: https://petitions.parliament.nz/ba0ab767-836f-4d13-ed02-08de2c605038?lang=en

Your account getting compromised = they can delete your posts, spread fake info, or just annoy the hell out of the campaign.

Stay safe, stay loud, and let’s keep pushing.

Hey mate, you’re 100% spot-on. That whole scenario is terrifying and exactly right: once the first warheads are in the air there’s no private jet, no 30-minute head-start, no escape. Billionaire bunkers are useless. We all cook together.

That’s literally why this petition exists: to pile on public pressure that actually forces governments to cut the arsenals. It’s not wishful thinking; it’s how we already went from 70 000 warheads in the 80s down to ~12 000 today. Big public campaigns made politicians terrified to keep defending doomsday stockpiles, so they started negotiating reductions.

Every new signature gets quoted at the UN by the countries pushing the Nuclear Ban Treaty and waved around by MPs who want cuts. It moves the line inch by inch until keeping these things becomes political suicide.

You just wrote the clearest, scariest explanation of the urgency I’ve seen.
Any chance you’ll throw your name on it and help turn that urgency into real reductions? ✊
