"They" want 7 billion of us dead.
You have hit the crux of the issue. They want 7 billion of us dead. With the advent of AI and soon, robots, there will be little to no need for all of us ‘useless eaters’.
There are a few ways to achieve that: Mass pogroms, famine/disease, or lower the birth rate dramatically.
Mass Pograms are ugly, can cause true insurrection, and doesn’t look so good in the history books.
Famine and disease at least are ‘blameless’, you can escape accountability and claim it is the result of your opponents policies.
But, see, if I was advising the globalists, I’d tell them the third way is the cleanest, least ugly, and to a small extent, even the most morally just. Introduction of some disease or syndrome that blocks conception worldwide would achieve what they wish, albeit at a slower pace.
I guess they’re just impatient.
