Yeah, I have a no-basis-in-fact conspiracy theory that all the royalty we have in the world, are just the rich folk that managed to survive the last collapse. They come out ahead of everyone else and make up all these reasons about being “ordained by God” or whatever to justify their existence, and the peasants just lap that shit up.
The same thing will happen if our current society collapses, we’ll come out the other side with God-Emperors named Bezos, Zuckerberg, X Æ A-12 Musk, Gates, and Brin, each with their own little fiefdoms to rule over or religions created in their images.
