    That’s giving them too much credit. They’re just greedy and trying to manipulate markets to hoard as much wealth as possible and they don’t care what happens to the workers.

      Most of them, yeah, but the few capable and practiced in such actions whisper to the ignorant rich what they are to do.

      I’m not pretending the wealthy are a monolithic entity, but I’m also not pretending that 8 people hold more power for political and economic change than 5 billion combined. And even if only 1 of them is a eugenicist (protip: a fucktonne more of them are eugenicists) then they in their own hand has the power to shape politics and money to whatever the fuck their twisted will is.

      And some of them is to reduce the ‘excess population’.
