What's your objection to depopulation? It's overpopulation that makes all this possible and necessary. There's no problem we currently face that wouldn't disappear with a sustainable population level.

Granted, we ourselves might die too, but everyone dies sometime.

I don't object to a global reduction of the population. I was referring to the unvaccinated and those that refuse to go along the status quo. Those that possess a minimum amount of critical thinking skills left around would ensure that the future generations would have decent cognitive abilities while the rest of the automatons would've culled themselves through natural selection(i.e: mindlessly accepting any not-thoroughly-tested medical procedure). But that's not how it's gonna go down. The Elite wants docile sheep. Although population control makes sense in terms of natural resources availability, it puts me in a bit of an ethical quandary. If the vaccine roll-out was part of a eugenics program, it seems to have failed so far.

I guess I was trying to say that I want to perish on my own terms. But that's wishful thinking.

In current world, docile sheep makes total sense. But in a right sized world, you'd kind of want it to be functional.

I'm finding it hard to guess what exactly their plans might be.

I believe Black Mirror is predictive programming and they were giving us a taste of what's to come.
