Deep Dive into the Great Reset and the Modern Left What exactly is it and what does it tell us about the left and the real structures of power? And why has the left become so openly illiberal? Hope to answer these If you enjoy, I would appreciate an RT of this first tweet! 1
I’ll start with the Great Reset which is what sent me down this rabbit hole It's basically a confused and muddled progressive globalist policy platform: think Globalist New Deal It wants to use the economic recovery from C-19 to build a better world 2
weforum.org/great-reset/
How? Change Capitalism Design an economy that: -is sustainable -doesn’t leave people behind -saves our planet A reset of the way we think and do business Change the way -we evaluate economic success away from GDP -businesses behave: Stakeholder over Shareholder Capitalism 3
The switch to Stakeholder Capitalism is particularly important to the Great Reset They claim otherwise, but you can’t voluntarily achieve it What passes for sustainability at the moment is a combination of PR masked as CSR and virtue signaling A switch requires legislation 4
Anyways, their basic logic is like this Capitalism is broken because it -leads to inequality -doesn’t behave sustainably -is a system requiring infinite growth on a planet with finite resources The market cannot be trusted to do the right thing in terms of the greater good 5
Climate change via CO2 emission is their proof of this view Their conclusions: - It’s an existential threat to humanity and there is no way that Capitalism can be trusted to do anything meaningful in this regard. - The world needs rapid a transformation to avoid catastrophe 6
Solution: there needs to be more centralization of power such that better “global” decisions are taken for the greater good Globalization no longer means the interconnected nature of the world economy It means more centralized “global” thinking and decision making 7
That’s why you see strange concepts like “Global Health” is being talked about What does that even mean? Health is a matter of local infrastructure/policy so why should it be a global issue? Centralized control - They think they know better than you 8
Let’s look at another example: Agriculture We are slowly moving towards a world where farmers will be told what to farm, where to farm and how to farm There are already woke NGOs pushing their farming principles onto farmers 9

These NGOs leverage big business to force these policies onto farmers “Agriculture is often fingered as a major culprit in climate change...We strongly believe farmers have a massive role to play in being a part of the solution" says General Mills 10

The most important policy recommendation made by the Great Reset is that: Covid-19 recovery stimulus packages must include green conditions In other words, Covid-19 is the impetus for jump-starting the “Green Economy” of tomorrow Even though markets show this hasn't worked 11
To be clear, the WEF crowd still believe in Capitalism, but they want a type of elite benevolent Capitalism where they can wield more control for the greater good I’d call this the Modern Neo-Liberal (NeoLib) wing of the modern left/center Think: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden 12
One of their favorite tactics is the exploitation of crises to accrue more power -Len Bias led to War on Drugs -9/11 led to the War on Terror and surveillance state -Climate Change led to Green Revolution -C-19 leads to the Great Reset -Jan 6 leads to War on Domestic Terror 13
Each of these events was over-exaggerated with the help of MSM to provoke two emotions in the general public: FEAR and ANGER It’s easy to convince people to sacrifice some of their liberties when they’re convinced that there’s an existential threat 14
The ultimate result of this has been: -a consistent erosion of fundamental liberties -the growth of big government -a consolidation of power by ruling class elites @ggreenwald has been covering this forever and this recent article is a must-read 15

There’s no better example of this than the current GameSpot short-squeeze scandal I think people on both sides can see this for what it is It’s clear Wall Street, MSM, and Politicians are all in bed together This is the ruling elite class 16

Anyways, the NeoLibs are one side of the Great Reset But this picture isn’t complete yet, because we haven’t looked at what’s on the other side of the Great Reset: I call them the RADICAL PROGRESSIVEs (RP) Yup, that's right They've also got a seat at the Great Reset 17
Turns out The Great Reset is rife with RP’s newspeak agenda: They dedicate specific chapters to: -Gender Parity -Systemic Racism -LGBTI Inclusion -Green New Deals -Circular Economy -Global Governance -Global Health -Inclusive Design 18
This is the part where I scratch my head Why has the NeoLibs adopted all these far left doctrines which aren't even particularly popular with most people? Why has the left surrendered it's soul to woke-ism? Did they really drink the radical left Cool-Aid 19
To answer this one needs to understand what the RPs are and where they came from Their movement stems from a philosophy called Postmodernism They believe that there is no objective truth and reality is actually defined by one's own experience (subjectivism/relativism) 20
They reject the principles of the enlightenment: -reason -logic -science -individual freedom -tolerance -constitutional government All are considered relativistic But by this thinking then that means that there are ultimately no universal human rights either... 21
It’s a cynical movement that rejects the founding principles of modern democracies They don’t have any gratitude for the positives that exist in our modern societies Any flaw in society is sufficient proof that the system is rotten and must be torn down 22
They want to build a Utopia of social justice and equity Uhm...marxism has already been tried... This @jordanbpeterson lecture is the best explanation I've found of what postmodernism is and how it is affecting modern society 23

This radical movement is responsible for mainstreaming these ideas on the left: -Critical Race Theory -Systemic Racism -Cancel Culture -Censorship -Identity Politics It's a dangerous ideology because you can't fight it with logic since they reject logic 24
So why did this happen? The origins of the mainstreaming of this illiberal movement start shortly after the Occupy Wall Street Movement Hmm...so just as people started rising up against the ruling elite...the 1%...America all of a sudden becomes racist? 25
Obama and the MSM managed to launch "The War Against Racism" According to polling, he was a fairly unifying president during his first term Then all of a sudden in 2012-13, everything became about identity politics and race Think about it 26
Keep in mind that President Trump was also a creation of the establishment MSM He was the perfect heel for the new War on Racism Their blind-spot was that behind the caricature of Orange Man Bad was a populist message similar to Occupy Wall Street that resonated with people 27
But they never expected him to win Trump's Presidency broke Washington as the establishment lost its mind -MSM outed itself as openly dishonest and partisan -The deep state exposed itself as corrupt and authoritarian -Even the GOP showed its true colors Now it's in the open 28
So now we go back to the question which was most confusing for me Why have the NeoLibs embraced the Radical Progressives? I think there are a few reasons 1) They needed their votes to beat Trump - Bernie bros didn't come out for Hillary in 2016 29
2) Radical Progressive tactics are pretty effective Once you get people to buy into the program, they become true believers They don’t challenge or criticize their side on lies or hypocrisy They don't accept facts or logical arguments from opposing viewpoints 30
3) There has been some bleed-through of Radical Progressive ideas into Liberal ideology People aren't either NeoLibs or RPs, there are many shades of gray For example, this platform's founder is simultaneously the ruling elite and also donates millions to anti-racism🤷♂️ 31
So when we analyze the Great Reset, we're actually seeing a reflection of the current political reality Overall, the NeoLibs are the ones running things They pay lip service to the radical left and keep them in check by demonizing the horrible nazis/racists on the right 32
But I wonder how long the NeoLibs will remain in control The radicalization of the left is continuing It's not always easy to put the cat back in the bag Remember, they helped create candidate Trump as a weak Republican nominee for Hillary to run against How'd that go? 33
In their arrogance, they play footsie with radical progressives thinking that they can control them They virtue signal by adopting their newspeak and pretending to care about their issues But it's just a diversion necessary to draw the spotlight away from themselves 34
Yes, right now the real levers of power are controlled by NeoLibs But ideas are powerful and right now a lot of bad ones exist on the left Their tolerance of extremism on their side is dangerous and short-sighted Once radical socialists come to power, they don't leave 34
The other issue is that the original problem has not gone away People are still unhappy with the ruling elite Occupy Wall Street and Trumpism are two sides of the same coin They are a rejection of Globalism and ultimately the corrupt ruling class 35
Going back to the Great Reset They want to blame capitalism for the problems of modern society while ignoring the contributions of their own corruption And they want to keep pushing Globalism as a way to consolidate their own power 36
Think about this for a second, if they are that concerned with Global Warming then why don't they address the real issue that the bulk of the problem is not in North America or Europe, but rather Asia They never acknowledge it as the main obstacle 37
The ruling elite have always been cynical and dishonest The difference is that they've now embraced the illiberal behavior of their progressive allies as a means of advancing their objectives And they're realizing they can get away with it That should give everyone pause 38
Is the Great Reset some big conspiracy? Not really But it's a good way to understand what's really going on and how things have gotten so crazy In a way its a troll of the right They want the left and right at each other's throats because they think it will insulate them 39
That's it for now Hope you enjoyed and please RT the first tweet in the thread if you think this The End 40
If what I just wrote makes sense to you then there needs to be a way to counter the status quo Solution: Decentralized Social Media 41
This is the perfect graph to document my point Obama/MSM literally manufactured a “War on Terrorism” using only anecdotes 42
Update on Great Reset How accurate was I on Great Reset: Extremely How accurate was I on the Great Reset possibility of being policy: Complete Fail Joe Biden’s Covid Relief, Infrastructure and Family spending bills are the Great Reset Happening so fast we don’t even notice
This is where the media is at Fairly accurate I would say
