I’d say the same honestly, but TPTB know that climate collapse is real and the planet can’t aupport its high human population any longer, so they’re going to want to cull undesirables. Resource competition at its core.
I won’t go that far. They need the underclass because they keep buying products to keep getting them richer. They just don’t care about the qualitiy of life of anyone below them. Quite literally they just said “Turn the AC up if it get’s too hot”, so dense and non interested in literally anyone else or what is actually happening.
If their mansion gets swept away in a flood they’ll just build a new one. Won’t everyone else?
Fair, but consider what will happen in 2030 when famines are near constant and society literally can’t continue to support an underclass. Then what will the ruling class do?

They want an underclass. Genocide doesn’t benefit them, but to stay in power they have to pander to a lot of people who want genocide.

They’re already doing it, just build bunkers and wait out the uprisings! Huzzah rich folks!
I remember back when the rich hid in their bunkers in New Zealand during the lockdowns. That revealed a lot about how humanity truly is.
