I see people on social media freaking out about it but to me it just sounds like business as usual. Like where we were heading before covid, just the people in charge are trying to make make themselves seem important by framing it as some great change lol. Is this right or is there actually more to it?

anyway thanks

so there's this thing called the world economic forum. i don't know much about it... seems like a ted talk thing for "think tank" types to travel to switzerland to give speeches to each other once a year to justify their inflated salaries. anyways, they have this thing called the great reset, which is like a "theme" for those talks, and then you go to their website and read articles from various economists talking about how to deal with the challenges of tomorrow today

i think though... they are probably going to rewire the world economy this decade in a big "regime" restructuring like what happened in the 1980s after the previous "regime" ripped itself apart which resulted in various monstrous things happening like jimmy carter getting elected in 1976

it was cool for them give it the deus ex / illuminati vibe to hand the right-wing conspiracy theories another agenda 21

the davos conference is always hilarious. it's basically ted talks for the political, cultural, and economic 'progressive' neoliberal elites. think, like, some silicon valley venture capitalist who is really into rainbow capitalism and woke financial imperialism ("micro-financed girl boss entrepreneurs will fix uneven development" type poo poo), plus like steven pinker and malcolm gladwell lol

imo these people are powerful, but also idiots who huff their own farts, so i'd be wary of anything they want to do. so, imo, that video is fairly ominous. at least if it's in any way indicative of how (a faction of) the ruling class sees the world and its place in it

It's like the great replacement but obfuscated by another layer.

The right wing are like beasts, they have an instinctual understanding of things. They know that dealing with big problems like climate change and covid require the upturning of social hierarchies, which they fundamentally disapprove of. They're afraid that sub-humans will be on equal footing with them, thus "resetting" society.

the world economic forum is literally the social hierarchy par excellence and the rural right-wingers correctly instinctively perceive that these bourgeois see them as sub-humans.

why interrupt them when they are two or three steps from rediscovering the immortal science of marxism?

OP, capitalism is facing multiple crises of its own making none of which it is equipped to address and some of which constitute existential threats to humanity itself

a bunch of big brains got together in switzerland and, in between orgies, hammered out a plan to address this. and that plan is as audacious as it is brilliant: give all your possessions to the capitalist class, sign over your firstborn son into indentured servitude, and give your boss prima nocta access to gently caress your wife on your wedding night. god bless

sorry. I’m rolling out a new patch for existence and unfortunately old saves aren’t gonna be compatible so I’m gonna have to do a great reset and start a new game after we wrap 2020 up.

Two of the big changes in the new iteration is that when America is founded it already has universal healthcare unlocked (bit of a cheat but otherwise it never unlocks on its own so this is a necessary workaround) and also penises can talk.

if i remember right, bannon was really into it and a lot of people still think that a lot of influence on trump or trump himself are into the whole "great reset" at which point the plan was(is?) to reset as some kind of aryan whites only paradise. its the whole reason for the apocalypse cult in the whitehouse stuff and its no surprise to me that Trump and/or his administration is working towards triggering a "great reset"

its akin to the idea that revolutions are going to happen no matter what and all that governments can do is stave them off up until the point at which they do, the whole basis of major voting cycles is to provide the illusion of change or revolution and give people an outlet for the revolutionary urge. I suspect that people who believe this think that the election especially will not release a great deal of revolutionary build-up and we are coming up on another cycle of revolutions and potentially world wars.
