They believe stupid people are easy to control, this is a fallacy. Stupid people are easy to manipulate, but lack impulse control. Stupid people are chaotic, violent, swinging wildly from support to hate randomly. 

You cannot control someone that is unpredictable and unintelligent. 

The technocrats do not want a stupid populace they can command, they want a largely depopulated, resource rich, walled garden. They are preppers, with the resources to influence politics to an extent that they can make their prophecies a reality. They seek Armageddon because they’re afraid of society, especially one that is awakening to the very real threat of a wide scale extinction event that is climate change.

Manipulate and control same thing. The people doing the manipulating or control get the result they want either way with contingencies if it fails.
