Yeah doesn't seem like a well conceived plan if there really is a consensus amongst the super rich to isolate themselves all together on one relatively small island. First of all globally there are a hell of a lot of super rich people. Secondly I'm not sure you'd want your neighbors to all be other aggresssively well resourced people in a world of survivorship. Third, if the masses blamed the super rich for the catastrophes of the world we'd know where to find them.

The masses never blame the super-rich. Instead, they hate their immediate bosses (who hate theirs). Politically, we mostly resent the party of the middle managers.

We are a "managed population", following Edward Bernays's program from one century ago.
