For instance, even in a doomsday scenario (for them) of the French Revolution, the rich will have personal security guards. These people will be paid very well (relative to the general population), which will keep them loyal enough. They will eat at secure restaurants (similar deal), and enjoy activities in secure locations.
In a collapse scenario, their money will be worthless.
It's certainly part of the catabolic stage in the system's decay. Due to many reasons, both at the input side and the "drowning in waste" side (example: GHGs waste causing climate destabilization), growth is going to falter which means that the "sharing" strategy of the rich, of the oligarchs, is going to stop working. You may know it as "grow the pie" (instead of "share the pie"). The rich get richer, the rest get poorer, and there are going to be a lot of poor people. That means a lot of desperate people and a lot of people with nothing left to lose.
What you have to watch out for is perhaps two strategies that can stop this:
Something to print:
On a related note, I really liked the recent season of "Arcane" (both seasons are great). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11126994/
It's not really an option. The real question is if people will be fine with promoting famine (could be far away) instead of eating rice and beans.
Here's an example from about a century ago: https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/troy-vettese-do-not-let-them-eat-meat/
You don't even know what those words mean. Sigh.
Oh, they have no way to stop it with incremental regulations. Incredible monitoring would be practical for them, but the inescapable part of biosecurity for animal raising is that the animals are killed (before they're killed at slaughter). It becomes a regular and constant loss. Without monitoring, and with regular bailouts, what you end up is a system that breeds massive numbers of soon-to-be-killed animals in order to fill up holes in the ground with their corpses. The obvious fact that everyone is shying away from is that the sector needs to be shrunk or closed down, much like the wild animal farms in China (see: SARS-CoV-2).
Soybean meal is a coproduct.
If you could stop eating up meat industry disinformation, that would be great.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) — the agency responsible for the reintroduction — says they did not consider individual wolf personalities when selecting wolves, as they contend “it is impossible to know that type of information.”
Some eugenics shit right there, but this isn't the first time animal breeders try to control "temperament".
The reason that CPW wanted to select wolves that hadn’t attacked livestock, says Reading, is because “it’s no question” that opposition to the reintroduction is primarily coming from ranchers. Historically that’s been true too: gray wolves were native to Colorado until they were eradicated in the 1940s, because they kept killing livestock and game.
The villains are the ones who vilified wolves.
I see, you're one of those who are disinformed by the meat industry PR departments to believe that the soy feed is a "byproduct".
Egg replacement
Coming up with novel indicators is not enough. "GDP" isn't simply about measuring economic growth, it's about labeling the desirable feature for the economic elites. The obsession with growth predates GDP, it even predates Capitalism as it's based on the much older "tradition" of imperialistic expansionism.
One of the reasons "degrowth" is useful is because it's antithetical to capitalism and capitalism's growth imperative, so it can't be co-opted by capitalism. When you promote "regenerative", you promote a term that has already been co-opted, most infamously now with the "regenerative grazing" pseudoscience.
