From threatening cage matches to backing RFK Jr., billionaires prove too much money detaches a person from reality

Most of the words you just wrote are insurmountable to the average voter. But no. The Very Rich People don’t want the population to decrease. They can dogwhistle to conservative voters about “demographic group x” and how they want them gone, but the ruling class needs infinite growth, and you can’t have infinite growth (realistically at all) without a growing population.
Oh I think they (the tech-fascist oligarchs) accept that the current system has hit its growth limit, is played out. They are aware that the ecosystem interface with capitalism has been shredded to the extent that we are in multiple related crisis - all driven by the perpetual growth requirement of the system, and that the end result is a massive die-off anyway. They intend to accelerate that end while they can still control (or at least think they can still control) the transition to whatever the next phase of the system is.
