Well yes it's certainly less likely that the exact same scenario happening here would happen on another planet with an intelligent civilization. I was just citing that as a relevant example on our planet.
But a leader mad with power leading his civilization off a cliff? I mean we've had multiple instances of it in human history alone. Buffalos were so prone to it that it was a viable hunting strategy to harvest entire herds. Evolution doesn't intentionally extinct outmoded species, but when a better competitor wins consistently, the alternative goes extinct (no Neanderthals these days).
It's just statistics. On average, in the aggregate, your civilization progresses. It survives the crazies (outliers) because a crazy individual isn't enough to obliterate the aggregate. Even small clusters of organized crazies can be overwhelmed by the aggregate.
But at some point you progress so far that individuals become powerful enough to overwhelm the aggregate. In just the last 200 years, we've gone from "the means to reach the world all at once don't exist" to "everyone can reach the world all at once with a device that fits in their pocket." In the past 100 years, hell, in the course of WWII we went from "It will take 3 days and multiple coordinated bombing campaigns to raze a city" to "We can drop one bomb and raze a city and be home in time for lunch." And with the Tsar bomb (and whatever else, particularly multi-warhead missiles) you can raze the entire US Eastern seaboard in hours.
All it takes is one small group of crazies. Like if 100 people in the upper echelons of the US govt. decided it was time to launch - boom, humanity over. Or set back millennia at best, but likely just over. That is unheard of in all of history.
We have the ability to extinct ourselves several times over already, and we've not sent a manned space mission to a single other planet. Imagine the kind of power/tech that would have to be amassed to send us to another star system. Just a small piece of that power in the hands of a few likeminded crazies is all it takes.
That's my point. I just see the jews as the most likely crazies to do it in our scenario (they literally have a Samson Option, which shouldn't be an option, but... there it is).
