These are not just 'NPCs'. It's really questionable whether they qualify as a thinking, conscious human.

You may be correct, but IMO, you are being to critical. Not everyone has critical thinking, skepticism, nor the time, energy, and inclination to be an expert in all things - including conspiracies, politics, mountains of legal bullshit, or medical/health matters. Centralized power doesn't need to know all these things, they have think tanks to serve them and tell them best how to exploit the masses.

I'm not saying they're not technically human. Genetically, they probably meet the standard.

I'm mainly pointing out the vast range between the most functional and the least functional classes of people. Think of it in computer terms. Sure, a 286 machine is still technically a computer, but would you use one now?

A tiny percentage at the top are like the supercomputers of humans. (Irrelevant to this point is whether those are the exact same people who own and operate this planet.) As you go down the list towards the 286ers at the bottom, the levels of functionality drop.

I'm saying the maskers and vaxxers (at least for the covid hoax) lack so much cognitive functionality that it puts them below an acceptable standard. Assuming they do... It's easy to see why the 'elite' could have contempt for the masses. They're little more than meat puppets from that perspective.

Unless you're part of the ruling class, it's not about being able to use/exploit/utilize people - or not - or dispose of. Who are you/we/anyone to judge? People should have the freedom to be self-sustainable and to help others, but our culture has atomized us all into warring factions of consumerist individuals in big cities rather than families and communities as remain in many parts of the world. The ruling class is anything but efficient, and has no interests in helping the x286s of the world find meaning, purpose, sustainability, and fulfillment.

Who's to judge? They were lead there. They can be lead back - and more.

Yes, understandable but must not be condoned. Inevitably their similarly judgemental evil A.I. will destroy them too.

The raging current of history is so strong that anyone in the ruling class who might have a smidgen of compassion or change will be swept away. How can one turn the tide without destroying the moon?
