>their end goal
Who is 'they'?
Capitalism is an economic system, not a conspiracy. Sure, the haute bourgeoisie (such as the billionaires) and the politicians they fund do plan and conspire in meetings, but ultimately there isn't one big master plan of The Wealthy. Generally speaking, most of them ultimately just want to keep their cushy position in society, leaching from our labor. Any other goals are their personal values, just look at the (relatively) conservative and progressive parties that different mega-rich booj support.
So you're right there, they keep us around to paracitize us. They need to make sure enough of us are fed and housed and educated, or imported, to do their jobs. They're not going to make all that money on their own, it's not competitive and they'll lose their bourgeois class relationship. If any want to 'kill the poor' for the sake of it, that's a niche personal opinion. Most just want to turn us into machines.
I don't believe most have an end goal. Some, like Trump and Musk and Thiel in the USA seem to want their own fiefdoms to dictate over, and they have social political beliefs like Musk's discount neo-nazism, and I'm sure many others are supporting this change, but ultimately I believe many others just want to preserve the cushy status quo as much as they can.
>using politics and Mainstream Media to convince us to destroy our lives and health with poor choices.
I don't see the point in intentionally destroying our health. I see it more as apathy and cost-cutting. They're parasites, they need hosts to feed on. There needs to be the promise of a decent life to motivate us to do their shitty jobs.
Even those in the health&drug industry intentionally poisoning us (see opium pharmaceuticals promoting addiction) are just doing so to make more money rather than intentionally trying to hurt us. Hurting us isn't the goal, it's just a side effect and unless we have the power to hurt their reputation or sue them for enough money, they don't care if we're hurt or killed.
That said, the mainstream media does promote division like racism, sexism, and nearly every other prejudice but classism, which is destroying our lives. But again, apart from those in the bourgeoisie who fell for the trick (it's hard to know how many are sincere), this is promoted to make some of us feel superior to others and see ourselves as privileged, and give us someone to punch down on. Oh, cutting state welfare benefits in the ghetto? Yes please, haha, that's ok because [pick a race] all abuse the syste-- wait, no why are my benefits getting cut now too? Divide and conquer.
