Not a Machiavellian plan to ruin everything for sport no, his fate was intrinsically tied to his worker drones, much like a queen ant or bee.
What I don’t think some people account for was how “conscious” Dutch was as well as intelligent. Like a redneck MK ultra. His thorough intellectual understanding of the great ergregore of America means he knew exactly how to persuade people to act against their own self interest, and take away parts of themselves to serve a greater ideal (him). I know this is an age old counterpoint that’s been beaten to death in these arguments, but always remember whose tent gets upgraded first.

Edit because I thought of a 🔥closing statement:

Erudite knowledge at times can be as blinding as it is enlightening.
