What is so difficult to comprehend about "But you also shouldn't waste your time either believing that they will deter everyone, nor that stronger punishments will deter statistically more people. There are always those who think they won't get caught, and those who don't care."?

Everyone dies one day. And the main thing about a personalist dictatorship is that when the dictator croaks the whole system usually follows unless the dictator manages to install their child as the successor.
Besides, these three stooges don't want to be a part of any multinational union since that would seriously limit their power.

I think many of them do understand what they are. Calling a surveillance software company Palantir is very self-aware. The rest is spot-on, though. The sociopathic kids grew up on dystopian science fiction of the 1980s, but unlike average people they read it and thought "what a great idea". And now they are adults and try to implement the dystopia they liked so much. And they basically admit it themselves:

Well, the European market for cars is absolutely cutthroat - there is huge competition between many manufacturers and unlike in the US the consumers don't want to drive the same car as their neighbours, hence even the top three cars have only a miniscule piece of the market.

Submission + - U.S. Will Restart Testing Nuclear Bombs (npr.org)
Mr_Blank writes: President Donald Trump appeared to suggest the U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time in three decades, saying it would be on an "equal basis" with Russia and China.
The U.S. conducts some of its most sensitive nuclear weapons research in a laboratory deep beneath Nevada. NPR was recently given a tour. There was no indication the U.S. would start detonating warheads, but the president offered few details about what seemed to be a significant shift in U.S. policy.
The U.S. military already regularly tests its missiles that are capable of delivering a nuclear warhead, but it has not detonated the weapons since 1992 because of a test ban.
But the president suggested that changes were necessary because other countries were testing weapons. It was unclear what he was referring to, but it evoked Cold War-era escalations.
"Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis," he said in a post on Truth Social. "That process will begin immediately."
Trump made the announcement only an hour before he was scheduled to sit down with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
