One should never underestimate the Left’s propensity for projecting its sins upon its victims; nor, when the Left does manage to admit the destructive effects of their regressive ideology, to proclaim these disastrous consequences as fundamental transformational and “liberation.” To avoid such a fraught misunderstanding, one must ever remember the Left perverts the purported rationale of every entity captured in their “long march” through the institutions.
To wit: The World Economic Forum (WEF).
One would think an organization comprised of the uber rich global elitists would be assiduously focused on increasing wealth. The rationale would be their own greed; and the need to spread wealth to meet rising global expectations of material prosperity that, as history shows, when unmet lead to revolutions – revolutions which confiscate the wealth of the rich and often their lives. Yet, to spread material wealth is rarely the goal of the rich. Their goal is to amass wealth; then, having amassed it, to protect it from the masses. However, in a contradiction Karl Marx would appreciate, in spreading their wealth to increase the masses’ material prosperity, they will also be increasing the masses’ expectations. In an age of instantaneous global communication among the masses, these expectations will rapidly and exponentially rise. There is every reason to believe they will not be met; and revolutions and/or chaos will ensue as the masses demand their “equitable” share of prosperity.
Thus, for the WEF, what to do if one doesn’t necessarily want to share their pile to spread the wealth and only exacerbate rising expectations among the masses that can’t be met; and, when unmet, spur nothing good for rich elitists?
For the first time in human history, the goal is not to increase material prosperity but to cap and curtail it. By making diminished expectations a virtue, the WEF hopes to coercively redistribute other people’s wealth to manage mass expectations, prevent governmental confiscations and preclude revolutions. In sum, the WEF goal is not creation of prosperity, but the management of scarcity. In this, they have found a willing partner in the apocalyptic climate cult, which is more than happy to scare and coerce people into latching onto their mutual, radical, socialist agenda.
But, one may ask, how can the ostensible “titans” of capitalism become strange bedfellows with socialist environmentalists? Because both want to control you for their own purposes; and, for now, those purposes coincide. One need look no further for proof than the ESG movement among multinational corporations. Someday, likely sooner rather than later, when these two colluders’ interests no longer mesh, it will be interesting to see which side is the rider and which is the tiger.
The first goal of the collusion between the WEF and the apocalyptic climate cult is to convince the upper and middle classes of the wealthiest industrialized nations that diminished expectations are virtuous. It is done by indoctrinating these classes with the belief they are an elite born to impose the radical, extreme, and dangerous agenda of “less is more.” Initially, given their wealth and status (often inherited), they will feel immune to the policies they impose; and, when they do, the sacrifice will feel small in relation to the external validation they receive among their class for their “virtue.” Only later will the full deleterious impacts of the bait and switch of the “less is more” agenda become clear to the privileged of the industrialized nations; and by then it will be too late.
This is the second goal of the unholy alliance of the WEF and the apocalyptic climate cult: the redistribution of the industrialized countries’ citizens’ wealth to the poor of less industrialized countries. The group’s name is the World Economic Forum, after all; and the climate cult is out to save the planet not Peoria. This redistribution is requisite to preventing more “Arab Spring” popular uprisings amongst the poorer nations, lest they give the poor populations of the industrialized nations ideas. The poorer nations’ leaders are brought on board by the redistributions of the richer nations’ wealth, because it will flow to their hands first; and then be allocated as these leaders see fit to their impoverished people.
The bitter fruit of the WEF and the apocalyptic climate cult’s zero-sum agenda of scarcity and autocracy? A world-wide welfare state where richer nations are compelled to redistribute wealth to poorer nations; but in amounts sufficient not to encourage poor populations’ rising expectations, but only to foster their dependency.
Sure, there will be those who dispute this. First, however, I would ask them to ponder the following: During my youth in the mid-1980s, I well recall Live Aid, where musicians combined to hold a fundraising concert to provide food to starving Ethiopians. There were songs, “Do They Know It’s Christmas” by Band Aid, and “We Are the World” by USA for Africa, as well as an album to provide further assistance to the hungry of Africa. There is even a remake of the Christmas song by Band Aid 30, released in 2014. It was a noble cause, recognizing that hunger is a political problem; and one that the creation of more food and its unfettered, humane distribution can ameliorate. Today, however, the EU supports farmland eradication to prevent climate change. If one wonders how the elites can promote and impose this policy to reduce the amount of food available in world where hunger has not been eradicated, one should acquaint themselves with the works of Thomas Robert Malthus.
As for the aforementioned Leftist propensity to survey the disastrous consequences of their policies and proclaim them virtuous victories as they erect a world-wide welfare state of soul crushing dependency and serfdom for the masses, I suggest one acquaints themselves with The New York Times’ reporter Walter Duranty’s deceitful and despicable articles claiming there was no Holodomor famine in the “workers’ paradise” that was Stalin’s famine-ravished Ukraine – though, a warning: don’t hold your breath until the Pultizer Prize Board revokes his award.
Same old leftist tricks. Different day.
At some point, I recognize that I’m going to have to drop everything and drop out, with no expectation of support from society.
It scares me, but it would only be for a short time.
Then the real fun begins. The remaining billion (half billion) will live as worker bees. Slaves under a technological whip to a few thousand families ruling from their walled Arcadia. The slaves will be chipped. It will be hell on Earth.
Unless people turn to God now. Pray for salvation. But also pray for the courage to say no to all this in this life, personal consequences and hardships be damned.
The organized “Conservative Movement” wants to call “Climate” a Leftist movement.
The Greta Thunberg crowd offers up a “Left” perspective but here’s what I see.
When business stop sending you paper bills and so on they save money.
When the grocery store makes you bring your own bag instead of providing one for you it saves money.
It’s always amazing how Pro-Business “Going Green” ends up being becasue the Business Roundtable, Chamber of Commerce and World Economic Forum buy the politiicans of both major parties including the Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell varieties peddled to us as “Conservative”.
“personal consequences and hardships be damned.”
We could fix it all right now if we were willing to accept some hardship and sacrifice.
But we won’t...
Yes. The WEF doesn’t worry about the masses revolting and killing the rich because they plan on killing us first. Famine has always a favorite tool of communists to eradicate their enemies.
That’s right. Marxism is one of the most evil ideologies ever to exist outside of p!sslam. It has never worked. I’m fed up with hearing about how capitalism is greedy and Marxism is compassionate. Yeah, tell that to the hundreds of millions of people killed and the environment that the Marxists destroyed, not to mention almost bringing our species to extinction along with the the rest of life on earth through nuclear war!
The World Economic Forum:
Elites telling the masses to eat bugs
📯🦟🐛🐜🐝🐞🦋🦗🐜🐞🐝🦟🦗🦗🐞🐞
and billions of people will be Exterminated
You will own nothing, and we will own everything.
I have a short list myself, for when the time comes.

The WEF isn't going to redistribute wealth for free. Initially, they will take about a 50% cut, pretty low for the typical charity, but it will quickly grow to 90%. That is what the WEF is really after.
Politics is the art of telling the big lie. The WEF has always been one big lie, from top to bottom.
It's getting everyone to hold still while they kill off most of the population.
Turning to God & to Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior is really the only answer to all the world’s problems. Being at an advanced age is not all bad, either. There are so many schemes about nowadays that even wary people are often being fooled. It seems like hardly a week goes by but what I hear about some new scam. And they do try pretty hard to fool the elderly, figuring some of that group is not always sharp of mind. If in doubt, check it out..before making a decision.
Sundance at CTH puts it this way: "Republicans use power to get money, Democrats use money to get power."
Power over others has been known since the dawn of history to be a drug as addictive as cocaine or heroin.
who is john galt?
most wont get off the couch until they are hungry
by then it will be too late
you will own nothing and like it...OR ELSE!
