I agree with you about the logistics difficulty. But there are many in power who are pretty clearly working toward implementing those steps lined up above, even as they’re incredibly inefficient and buffoonish. Many people, both “docile” and whatever may be perceived as “out-of-line”-ers, have been punished already, for years, and there’s no sign of stopping from those in power.

To the authoritarian buffoons, the end game is: riches for me, enslavement/extermination for thee, all to run from their weird daddy issues.
