This reminds me of the episode in the original series of Star Trek, where two nations had been at war forever and the computers were now controlling it by not doing any fighting, just selecting an equal number of each side's population to go to the euthanasia booths to keep things balanced.
If you've never read it, Piers Anthony's "Triple Detente" is worth seeking out. It's a science fiction novel from the 1970's and has a really brilliant and original take on the subject. It's one of those books that's so thought-provoking that it stays with you forever.

You are a Trekkie!
I haven't seen it, nor read the book mentioned, but I suspect life will keep imitating art, with humanity getting evermore twisted.
What's really scary is that I'm old enough to have seen the original Star Trek the first time around, before they remastered and repeated them. All through my childhood I thought it was filmed in black & white 😆
