I get that you are slightly uncomfortable with the idea of mass death and suffering? Is that correct?
I'm rather uncomfortable with it myself I suppose but I never thought my own slight discomfort was ever worth bringing up in this context.
I have decent imagination, if someone dies in front of my nose or behind a curtain the emotional impact is ideally the same. I cant get there of course but my ambition is to experience those exactly the same.
In a world with finite resources we have to do a fair bit of rationing or accept that some will get it all.
Our discomfort is therefore caused by the complete lack of rationing and we should attempt to address the issue there. Then we quickly see what little we can do because bureaucratic power (to call it that) is also not distributed sensibly.
When the few oppose the many and there is no hope for sensible dialog the natural way to progress is to resort to mass violence.
If the 10 richest men can do something to slow or stop the suffering of billions and we cant it in my view becomes their responsibility. It becomes the direct result of their actions. It is as good as killing them yourself. say by shooting though the curtain.
Therefore one side of the war (the few) have already engaged in the killing of the other side (the many). We are so many that we've barely noticed it.
You can expect that if they chose to play their game against you they wont hesitate to take it all and you too will lose everything.
Your story would be as uncomfortable to read for others but that is just a symptom. We can safely ignore it.
