I no longer believe any of this is mere incompetence.

They actively want us to die.

Not that it makes a whole lot of difference what their intentions are, though:

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

covid taught me that malice and incompetence were the same thing with a lot of people.

My response to "don't mistake incompetence for malice" is usually "that applies to regular people. When it comes to governments, I think both malice and incompetence should be a disqualifying factor."

If only we had managed to disqualify them...

And this isn't some 'let the strongest survive' eugenics shit. It is like saying they want to 'cull the weak' by shooting anyone and everyone regardless of who they are in the head and making a post-hoc explanation that it had to be done.
