Missing From the WEF’s Great Reset: A Moral Compass
Epoch Times ^ | February 12, 2021 | Ryan Moffatt Ryan Moffatt

Globalization has afforded non-governmental organizations, the ultra wealthy, and Big Tech power and influence on a global scale once reserved for the world’s superpower states.

The World Economic Forum, which describes itself as an international organization for public-private co-operation, has proposed a “Great Reset” initiative to rework global economics to address the challenges of the post-pandemic world. The WEF paints a picture of a 2030 in which America will lose its place as the preeminent superpower, a billion people will be displaced by climate change, carbon will be taxed globally, and “you will own nothing and be happy.”

The WEF frames the afflictions of the world primarily in economic and climate terms while advocating that individual property rights can be discarded, privacy can be sacrificed, and national sovereignty can be dissolved—all for the greater good of addressing these two so-called existential threats. That it has the means to further this agenda is undeniable, as it is backed by world leaders, tech oligarchs, and the ultra wealthy who are seemingly eager to implement these changes on behalf of the rest of us.

But for all the proposals put forth by the WEF, there is little talk of principle. In line with other NGOs like the United Nations, the Great Reset adopts a value neutrality model, where moral relativism hinders any adoption of moral principle to guide policy and action.

Value neutrality, however, is not a sufficient doctrine to regulate global organizations who seek power and permission to change the world. There must be founding principles as cornerstones to ensure a consistently virtuous course of action. To this end, a robust conversation around guiding moral principles is imperative from those who seek to shape our future.

Morality is just an ugly vestige of colonialism.

The “Great Reset” is all about getting rid of that pesky moral compass...particularly the one having to do with slavery

“you will own nothing and be happy.”

Is that an actual quote from the WEF, or a sarcastic comment on their agenda?

No, that is their vision, for the Proles, of course. Slaves don’t own anything, they are just owned.

Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, “our city”. I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.”

Here’s how life could change in my city by the year 2030

The New World Order envisioned by the globalists has been described as a neo-feudalism in which there is a wealthy ruling aristocracy, a large pool of low-income workers (serfs), and little or no middle class.

With religion in decline, people will be entertained and kept docile through Super Bowls, reality TV, porn, a celebrity culture in which the common people are made to feel like personal friends of the rich and famous, and corporate ads in which diverse actors and actresses tell us that we are all "community" and "family."

The people most likely to object to this arrangement - Christians and Trump supporters - are already being censored, demonized, marginalized, and weeded out of more and more professions, including even the military, long thought to be a bastion of patriotism and conservatism.

The WEF has a moral compass it just always points to themselves.

For social justice jihadis, like Muslims, the highest good IS more power for their ideology.

Got to get rid of the middle class because they maintain morality and christian values in the culture.

What's missing from their plan is how to get our ammo.
