He is saying that the world is characterised by endless conflict all over the world and always has been.

The history of the world is characterized by times of conflict and times of peace, it's not conflict all the time. Saying so is a generalization that is much too broad.

The idea that there is some super secret group of evil overlords controlling all this chaotic war and destruction seems farcical to him, and to me.

Same situation with me. That's because that's not the point I am making. You don't have to control all the conflicts all the time. And nowhere did I say that it's some "evil overlords". "Evil" is a subjective term, and "overlords" is, I believe, an attempt to mock my argument by the use of otherwise clumsy wording.
