Totally, but Capitalisn works both ways. If you make money from exploiting others/the planet, you are technically winning at Capitalism. It may not be a smart long lasting strategy at winning (as you point out). Capitalism only cares about controlling people in that it generates revenue. The time period for how long it produces revenue is up to the particular Capitalist, and what you’re describing is a discrepancy on how far out one should look. And yeah, Fascists have a lot longer view of things, which is why you’re seeing them trying to ensure the replenishment of their ranks with fresh bodies, by sacrificing a the very lucrative Porn industry.
It’s more the imperialists and conservatives in general who care so much. Many capitalists also value imperial prestige, even if it fell out of fashion recently. Government elites from China to Saudi Arabia feel similarly
