    He wants a war, so he can have a draft, and take control of the most dangerous demographic group - military age men, who also share the characteristic that they are easy to manipulate through propaganda, which is easier to control in a military setting.

    If you can gain control of their brains as they turn 18, you can preserve those who take to the propaganda, and send those with decent Critical Thinking Skills to the front line.

        I think the End is the endgame for a lot of these rich asshats. They fly in private jets and eat with gold forks while alive, who cares about anyone or anything else after that’s done.
