If we think of the most powerful people as misanthropic Malthusian accelerationists that are aware of how bad the climate catastrophe is getting, many of their behaviours make sense. I'm not saying this is the whole absolute reality, but the data fits and the causal mechanisms are logically sound. If someone else can provide a more correct model, particularly if it changes the following conclusions, I am interested.
If we accept this model, it follows directly that they view the majority (>90%) of humanity as something between a disposable resource to exploit to death and a direct enemy to be destroyed as soon as possible.
Given that conclusion, I ask if it does not follow that all means of self defense and rebellion against them are not justified? Any attempts to dissuade them is against a short timeline of real threat and the urgency this model assumes they are already operating under.
Any other possible models or conclusions are invited. Pearl clutching and explicit (legally actionable) calls to action will be ignored. And any proposed elaborations or improvemrnts are welcome.

@RadicalEcologist this analysis is correct.
@dirtwizard666
Your support of this analysis is very much appreciated. You are in no small part inspiration for me to be so bold as to share such analyses.
@RadicalEcologist Thank you. I agree with your analysis but I will add that I believe that the incompetence and ignorance of these people is often really under-appreciated. Elon Musk claimed he would dig a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean. He said he would personally immigrate to Mars. Then he spent months trying to destroy the federal government with essentially unlimited power, after which non-military discretionary spending went *up* very slightly. He said he was doing to "save 2 trillion dollars"! DOGE literally cost money. Mark Zuckerberg bought Occulus and instead of just getting into gaming and making tons of money wasted 10s of billions on some weird nonsense everyone hated. Then the same with "crypto", he could have just launched a real financial product like apple pay and made tons of money and instead did weird stuff everyone hated that made no money. I don't think that was all 5d chess. And I think it's all going to keep being like this as techno-fascism accelerates. Also 100% of the worst guys have become hopped up on chatbots. And ultimately as evil as those things are, they just don't work.
Of course, we're still "cooked" if these guys all fail and "liberalism" returns! We need a global revolution to remove the oil men from power anyway.
What i really really believe and refuse to not believe is that revolution is a lot easier and nearer than most people realize. Because the bar for building a vastly better global civilization is so unbelievably low right now. Any old bunch of goofballs could very clearly do better than what we have now, and more and more people can see that.
