progression from "human being" to "loser" to "culled." Rich people and royalty have always treated people as disposable as toilet tissue; now, we get to live in a supposed democracy where the 1% has decided that WE are disposable.

What do they get from it? Well, narcissistic people who get riches and power want to wield it, and terrorizing other people is quite a pleasure for them.

Secondly, wiping out a lot of people lessens the impact of climate change; frees up land for the rich; and makes the remaining people docile.
