Good news is they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. This is not a spoof. Our elite overlords deciding what’s best for our own benefit again. Really looking forward to not owning anything. What could possibly go wrong? New meaning to the words. “Thank you sir, may i have another”. Really creepy dangerous stuff in there.
Point number one has been tried before. It is called feudalism. They want to be the lords, and they want us to be the vassals.
People say this stuff, but then whenever someone suggests anything remotely anti-capitalist to disempower them or even increase their taxes they are like "but they create jobs" and give them tax cuts instead and call their money "free speech" in politics.
You guys really believe these davos aholes are just bloviating? I'd say they will try everything in their dark souls to make these things happen.
I take people at their word. They used to say this stuff in private. If you listen to people they will tell you exactly what they will do. Timeframe of my lifetime or my kids lifetime is irrelevant. These are simultaneously the most ghoulish and well connected people in the world. So yes I listen to what they ‘suggest’ or ‘predict’. Would be foolish to ignore or even discount
If you wanted to make that a reality spiking interest rates would be a great way to do it…kind of like how they have spiked during the Biden presidency.
Since the video was released, what would you say the WEF has done to strip your ability to own anything?
when I hear “you will own nothing and like it “ I think of this. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
This sounds like citygator telling us last year that the bidenflation was transitory or all the other libs claiming before that the massive deficit soending wouldn’t cause inflation because it hadn’t done so yet. The WEF is top to bottom horsecrap? If you don’t believe that their intentions are sincere, it’s time to grow up boys and girls. BTW everyone, don’t you think Kerry’s wife should have been able to find a better plastic surgeon with all of her money? You know, someone who wouldn’t make him look like Herman Munster?
Thanks for the opportunity to say “i told you so” as inflation is near normal after the disruptions are mostly long gone. A Victory Lap for the Transitory Inflation Team | by Joseph E. Stiglitz - Project Syndicate Has Team Transitory really won America’s inflation debate? Turns out that inflation really was transitory, no thanks to the Fed
By the way, my guess is the ownership bullet was a nod to how the economy is moving to a subscription model for many services and rentals for other things. In many ways both improve utility. Not sure though.
This is the background. You'll own nothing and be happy - Wikipedia It’s an 8 year old video. But the WEF has become the new boogeyman, so not surprised it’s still making the rounds. and FTR, to include this was dumb, for exactly the reason in the OP. It sent exactly the wrong message from wealthier folks.
flood the world with capital and then raise interest rates and buy up private homes by corporations so tighten up the market and drive up prices? just spit ballin
I appreciate the attempted deflection. not sure can call it the boogeyman when they are telling you in their own words exactly what they wish/want to see happen. I would call it listening or reading comprehension.. at least the boogeyman hid under the bed and in the shadows. These people make no qualms about who and what they see wish to see happen. To others of course.
