Not even sure what you're trying to say. I propose using modern tech to enable homeowners to be self sufficient. You can call that a conspiracy if you want to, but I don't see anything wrong with it. We know how to make homes immune to fire. We know how to make homes that produce enough electricity to meet the occupants needs. We know how to make aquaponics systems that can provie nominal nutrition. We know how to collect and store water. None of these things hurts anyone, so I don't know why you equate know how with deranged psychopaths in a post apocalyptic world.

If anything, PG&E burning down rural California to drive people into smart cities where they can be completely controlled by surveillance, made dependent on food doused with toxic chemicals, and forced to work for wages to survive strikes me as psychopathic. I'm sure not doing that.

Pick on them as are.
