You have a point. Though, I think some of them are so brain-dead war-hawk that they WANT to do it. Paid or not.
Same could be said of the right also. How many idiots do you know that just go with whatever daddy trump wants without thinking about it?
Yes, there are non-thinking zealots and NPC's on every side. It is unfortunate.
The sad truth is that most people are barely existing at all and have few thoughts beyond the minimum to get them through a day. If just 1% of the "top" of the people in the world were to just not exist tomorrow the entire planet would be back in the dark ages in weeks at best.

I don't know about that.. There would be some initial shock and confusion and probably some rough seas as we re-learn knowledge/details lost regarding some specific procedures/processes, but we would just hold emergency elections for key positions. The corporate world would just promote the next man up to CEO and any other necessary executive positions to resume business as usual.
The worst that would happen would be isolated incidents where some people attempt to take advantage of the disarray.
NPCs would continue operating on their existing subroutines.
The world doesn't stop turning for anyone.
