> therefore _extremely_ vulnerable to physical violence. Because this is going to be the only outcome if they keep this up

This is an immature reaction. We’re talking about Europe, not sub-Saharan Africa. Those same planes would have the wealthy safely out of harm’s way, likely with a good portion of their capital, while the idiots who threw away their peace are left to squabble over remains.

You’re taking this as a threat, rather than a warning. History has shown that Europe is not above revolution or violence, let’s not pretend otherwise.

Good. Let them bring their wealth to whatever place will tolerate their climate-destroying behavior. Wealth is not created by a handful of rich children, but by the work of millions. Let's see them use their capital when they can't blow it anymore on luxury handbags.

Well, it's not like Europe is homogenous in this regard.

France specifically has a history of taking care of such matters.

I'd say the rich getting away with what they're doing is more likely in sub-Saharan Africa.

As was seen recently in Sri Lanka when the corrupt ex-president tried to run away by plane, you can't if the people hate you because the plane doesn't fly itself from nowhere - it needs mechanics, air traffic control, passport control, pilots, etc. He managed to escape with a military plane, but that's unlikely to be an option for your random rich person not ex-military chief.

And Europe, especially France, has a rich history of getting rid of upper classes on occasion.
