Resource scarcity as a child leads to lifelong prioritization of short term needs over long term rewards.
They don’t just want more people. They want more people born into poverty and incable of understanding it’s better to wait and pay in cash than use credit and pay interest.
The wealthy plan decades ahead. They want the rest of us planning pay check to pay check.
It’s not that they’re just evil and want us to suffer in the moment. There’s logical reasons they’re doing evil shit.
Because the wealthy can afford to plan decades ahead
If we want to win the class war we need to understand this stuff and stop focusing on one battle at a time

I’ve seen this theory, effectively built on the notion that Americans are losing access to pools of cheap labor overseas and are attempting to build up a human stockpile of miserables at home. But that runs counter to (a) heavy investment in automation, particularly with regard to the service sector in the belief large numbers of people can be made redundant and (b) federally funded purges of migrant populations and pogroms targeting low income counties and states intended to remove people en mass.
I’ll spot you a second theory that’s largely rooted in the modern American adoption of eugenics as a theory of human development. The current crop of national leaders is so heavily pilled on their Calvinism-esque understanding of Darwinism that they really do believe some number of children are “born blessed” to succeed. Merely popping out of the womb is enough for Almighty God to do his thing and lead you on the path to success.
Sometimes. Most of them seem totally happy to kill the golden goose. They’re running both the economy and the planet into the ground for short term gains.
They’d rather have half a personal sized pizza than a regular slice of an XXL pizza, even if that’s objectively less pizza.
I think many of them would be totally down to return to medieval feudalism with lords and peasants, even if that meant giving up day to day luxuries simply because they’d feel more powerful.
It’s a mental sickness, not an understandable or rational desire for wealth.
You’re confusing the 0.01% (what I’m talking about) with the 10%.
I’m not talking about a suburb of mcmansions planning decades ahead, I mean the ones living on private islands.
And the 0.1% are fine with burning down the system, because they’re already on top. They essentially already live as kings. Musk just built a full on town as his fiefdom even.
Ok but this statement would refer to the 0.01% not the 10%
They don’t just want more people. They want more people born into poverty and incable of understanding it’s better to wait and pay in cash than use credit and pay interest.
So the .01% are the ones you’re saying that are planning decades ahead. I don’t think that’s true, they don’t have some sort of master plan for society.
I think we’ve entered the era of the rich running out of good exploits for the peasants, so we’re seeing them self-cannibalize each other. All of our current economy has moved beyond screwing over workers and customers and is now based on the .01% screwing over the 10% that they pretended was part of their class for awhile.
They only have the most half hearted approach to what comes after that process is complete. They might build a dumb bunker or cosplay at being a post apocalypse warlord, but their ‘plans’ aren’t much beyond a tabletop game roleplay.

And they even already know what those hypothetical children look like
