I'm reminded of those species of ants that have evolved so that they are all warriors, with no foragers. Their only method of survival is to raid non-warrior ant societies and capture eggs and larvae that will grow up to be worker ants that feed and nourish the exclusively warrior-ant over class and Queen. Like Spartans dependent on helots.

The pathological global elite doesn't have to know how to grow its food or extract its oil, so long as it maintains control of the mechanism that gives it a monopoly on violence. They've upped that control in countries like Australia to an unprecedented degree. The Helots could shut it all down wi5 a general strike. Will they?

In The New Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan talks about the timing and strategy of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. The goal was to invade after the wheat was planted and before harvest, to capture the grain. The Nazis divided the Soviet Union into the zone of surplus and the zone of deficit, with Moscow and Leningrad in the latter category. There was not an explicit plan to kill the civilians in the latter, but there was blithe indifference to their dying of starvation when their grain supplies were transferred West.

Blithe indifference to the suffering their policies cause is a better description of the elite than deliberate mass murder or depopulation.
