Why is the head of the World Economic Forum giving a talk at something called the World Government Summit where he talks about seizing on crises and "black Swan events" as opportunities to transform the world and something called the "Fourth Industrial Revolution". I wonder if this bodes well for the workers of the world :confused:

I keep loving thinking about the Hardt/Negri hypothesis, which I had initially considered to be crazy:

what if the potential inversion point grows stronger and more likely over time, while the empire itself also grows in reach and depth?

Exactly, the ruling class just lays it all out in the open because they literally don't care, they think you're powerless to do anything because even your ostensible "allies" will discredit you, call you a "conspiracy theorist", fascist nazi qanon pizzagater etc. They'll weaponise a crude sub-Nick Landian understanding of dialectical materialism against you to argue that it is an a priori truth that actual conspiracies cannot exist in principle, in fact the ruling class doesn't conspire it just blindly follows the Law of Value / profit motive, whatever the gently caress. There's no intentionality, never has been, never will be. The World Economic Forum may be exploiting the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" to turn us all into serfs however it was fated to do so since the dawn of Capital itself so there's no point even discussing it or you're a nazi for some reason. In the 18th Brumaire Marx talks about Napoleon's literal conspiratorial relationship with the bourgeoisie when he seized power. And if this is the poo poo they're willing to openly admit to gently caress knows what they're really up to, know what I mean?

not really much of a conspiracy if they talk about and execute it openly and just materially prevent the people they exploit doing anything about it.

No no it's not a conspiracy it's a conspiracy theory, huge difference you see because when you suggest that when the WEF talks about this thing called the "Great Reset" and exploiting crises and black Swan events to usher in something called the Fourth Industrial Revolution they only have the best interests of the working class at heart and you are actually a fascist if you question their motives - they talk about it openly you see! How can you question that. Simple as

its not a conspiracy theory, its a conspiracy analysis

Cambridge has a definition of "Conspiracy" as

quote:

a secret agreement made between two or more people or groups to do something bad or illegal that will harm someone else:

the status of legality isn't a deciding factor if something is a conspiracy or not.

I was being ironic in my last post so to be less flippant, what I mean is that there are definitely people on the left who call the Great Reset a conspiracy theory and call you a conspiracy theorist for questioning the motives of the loving World Economic Forum etc. Yes, they do talk about it quite openly, Klaus Schwab literally wrote a book called the Great Reset etc. So then the position seems to have changed where they will acknowledge that the Great Reset isn't a conspiracy theory, in fact it doesn't even reach the level of conspiracy at all, because they're discussing it right out in the open. What you see is what you get. So the WEF they're out there saying how they want to exploit crises and black Swan events and so on, in order to bring about this so-called "Fourth Industrial Revolution". But then you point out things like the fact that the WEF ran a coronavirus pandemic (which would be a black Swan event) simulation a couple months before the official start date of the covid pandemic, a CRISIS from which the ruling class profited immensely, and the very same people will then say poo poo like "take the tinfoil hat off you sound like a lunatic" and so on. They just go right back to calling you a conspiracy theorist lol. But they loving say right out in the open that's what they want to do!

Oh I get it I just wanted to be pedantic about theory vs analysis

But I do think it constitutes conspiracy because their stated motives most likely aren't their real motives. Like they say a lot of crazy stuff during Davos and the like but they definitely do hold some truths and motives unsaid.

Like when they say we need to supplement protein uptake with crickets, they're speaking as if it will apply to everyone but they'll sure eat their steak while we cant afford it, they're not saying that part, but I'd bet both my testicles that they say it in private and that makes it conspiracy, even if what they do is technically legal.

With the near-demise of the left, it seems that anyone protesting the WEF's plans is making demands that fit the desires of the conspiring class. Climate change causing crop shortages? We have the right to eat as much subsidized beef as we want! Alienating urban hellscapes? Protest against fifteen-minute cities! Life expectancy plummets? Protecting workers from disease is communism!

Yes it's called recuperation, it's what the ruling class does, and their propaganda is clearly working as intended. No the solution to the many crises facing the working class isn't the Great Reset, "stakeholder capitalism", or neo-feudalism. Do not be misled

poo poo's about to get bad with stuff like failing crops, rising sea levels and drying lakes so all the rich people are doing their best to dilute outrage against them by diverting people to the wrong target or denying any of it is going to happen. You're going to have pundits saying poo poo that lakes drying up happens all the time or that the spooky deep state is doing it.

There was news awhile back of crabs disappearing (because the water is more acidic and warmer so it kills the babies) and people in the comments thought they were being stolen by China.
