h/t Breitbart; The World Economic Forum released a video, hastily withdrawn, which celebrated the quiet and orderliness of cities whose factories and people were silenced by harsh Covid lockdowns. WEF hosts the famous annual Davos event, where the world’s elite meet every year to discuss common interests.
I’ve taken a copy of the video below, just in case the original tweet is censored by twitter;
From Breitbart;

The WEF, which the primary body pushing Klaus Schwab’s idea of a so-called ‘Great Reset’ of the global economic order, was widely ridiculed for the post, including by former Brexit Party MEP turned political commentator Martin Daubney, who was among the first to flag the video before it was taken down. Daubney later reposted the video, further exposing the WEF to criticism.
Speaking to Breitbart London, Mr Daubney said: “I’m glad they tweeted this — because it has exposed them for the out of touch crackpots that they are. The WEF sees humanity as a blight, something to be controlled and imprisoned, in order to meet arbitrary climate change targets.
“There’s just one problem, the public won’t play along with their Great Reset nonsense. All of the things the WEF want to stop: work, travel, capitalism, are the things the vast majority of humanity lives for. The WEF have exposed themselves as ridiculously out of touch with the everyday man and woman. Sheltered in their ivory towers, they treat the rest of us with absolute seething contempt.”

A former school friend once explained what he didn’t like about capitalism was that it was so unstructured. He told me the parable of the garden, comparing the disorderly, weed infested capitalist garden with the eco-friendly socialist garden, with everything in its place, neat orderly rows of vegetables, where any weeds are uprooted and disposed of.
My reply was “Yes, but in your example, ordinary people are the weeds. You are suggesting anyone who doesn’t fit in perfectly with your structured view of society will be uprooted and disposed of, for the crime of not being a perfect fit”.
Did I mention we are no longer friends? My former friend could not accept my opposition to climate action.
People like Great Reset architect Klaus Schwab frighten me, people who seem to think neatness, order and strong government are more important than happiness and freedom.
World Economic Forum founder and Great Reset architect Klaus Schwab was born in Germany in 1938.

The Germans again. I am beginning to think we nuked the wrong country in 1945. And I am of 75% German ancestry.
We didn’t need to nuke Germany. By the time the bombs were ready Germany was out of the war.
Yes, but they did not LEARN anything.
Oh yes they did. Look at the EU and who controls it.
You make my point quite well, lots of them did not learn.
The great enabler.

If they want an empty world, please help them all migrate to Mars. No trains, no traffic rushing around, no “seismic” disturbances in their peace and quiet, no people yakking and having a real good time. I seldom pity people with such narrow views of what the world should be like, but they might be considerably happier in a locked isolation room. They are absolutely pathetic.
That said, I’ve been looking a live cams in the UK and Scotland and despite the fact that it’s vary late in the day over there (11AM my time CST), there were plenty of people out walking dogs, running, wading in the waters of Pensance’s harbors, sitting outside in the cloudy gray day in Linlithgow – in short, just as here at home, people are outside getting fresh air.
I wonder if the World Economic Forum would be above putting something in the water supply to “build a better world” and make us more quiet and passive ala the movie Serenity.
NYT has assured me that the “great reset” is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Funny, they have been reporting on it, and praising it in their op-ed articles, for quite some time. Means NYT is rightwing disinformation? The left just can’t help themselves, stupid is as stupid does.
Wasn’t that concept recently explored via George Lucas’s final Star Wars film? I’ve seen it explained that way in the Mandalorian too. Specifically, that what people wanted more than freedom was an orderly and secure society.
Seems rather obvious when you see all the frightened “adult” children screaming for their big brother to keep them safe, regardless of what they have to give up in exchange
