Let's talk here no openly and honestly.
there is limited time for each of us and limited resources like water minerals and all others.
Happy times, existing and illusion of middle class only if banks keeping credit open.

In reality people want to live good life, you can't work at natural minerals place and mine them all day long and same time to enjoy good restorants or other Luxury life.
Elite who ever they would be trump Putin or any other ones want just Luxury life for them off course to enjoy life fully and for their group of people and family.
So instead of wars wich all fought over who will rule over the slaves, and who owns resources, so they should put just slave tax 60%-80% instead of all the wars.
Or we just work for them for food and shelter

Its just how the world works, so you choose who you are slave or slave owner, you can't get all the good same time maybe the AI and bots robots can change the system for better, because nobody don't want to do work wich is unpleasent

So ofc elite use war to force and scare people to take from them also but it's too much violance and destruction....slave tax or slave fee system will be without blood.- so you own nothing and no wars -
