There's a lot of 'just asking questions' vibes going on in some recent posts here.

I think most of us know which posts I'm talking about.

Again I am ok if you just scroll past and would rather not, just don’t know how people call it all garbage when there is some truths to some elements? If true it will easily happen because people will keep looking the other way calling it disinformation and only going to their echo chamber for their approved information.
All I'll say is that if there are any degrees of truth to it, all it serves to do is convince people that the BS parading along side it is also real. "You can't deny the sky is blue! Also, did you know the Tyrell Museum keeps a live T-Rex in the basement?" This is how these things work, how they suck you in.

To put it another way, imagine there is a hose that dispenses raw sewage all day long. But every so often, it dispenses mediocre beer, though still with some sewage mixed in. Would you choose to drink from that hose, in the hopes of getting some mediocre beer? Or would you do what most people do, and just avoid the hose altogether, and tell others it's best not to drink from the hose?

Can someone explain how the WEF boogeyman isn't just another "The Jews!!!" level dogwhistle on par with Soros, the Rothschilds and "International Bankers"?

Have you ever had an online conversation where someone (maybe even you) used the acronym "the JQ", because I'm pretty sure you have.

Try and stick to the topics instead of constantly attacking the posters.

But that would involve taking your anti-semitic conspiracy theories seriously enough to bother trying to engage with.

You can't act like a clown 95% of the time and then expect people to be like "oh okay now we're supposed to disprove his theory that giant lizard men run the world" because you get all agitated about it.

Sorry what part of my posts are anti senetic? Because I posted a WEF saying they had members in Canada elected officials.

It’s so funny “Yoho doesn’t engage he a troll”

Any time I reply I get baseless “homophobic” “antiemetic” that one poster or another had dreamed up in his head.

I get the game to try and get me and my voice banned just please don’t be so obvious.

The question was “show some affiliation to WEF” I provided it out of the head of the organizations mouth.

I actually appreciate the clip. But it's short and there's no context given: sad if that's all you have. Have you read the original "Great Reset" article?

Tell me why anyone should care about the WEF? Is this still just about that essay some kid wrote about not owning stuff?

It’s a YouTube link with the head of the unelected WEF of globalist elites publicly stating that they have penetrated the Canadian liberal cabinet with people they have shaped at the very least with direction and ideology. But I’m sure they should be trusted with decisions that affect our everyday lives, because they want what’s best for us as Canadians and Canada only right?

Somehow it missed CBC’s newscast though so must be misinformation.

I think we shouldn't judge the head of the WEF on the things he's said and done, and instead give him a change and wait for policy.

It's basically an economy and trades conference management company and think thank. They actually have some great social media content for interesting things in tech, business, and world issues.

I also don't get the paranoia around them. It's just another public institution that brings bigwigs together to discuss matters of importance. We live in a global world, lots of things need to be discussed at this level among businessmen, politicians, and academics. Things like the "Great Reset" have far more nuance and mundane objectives than most conspiracy theorists want to recognize. All they see is a punchline from world leaders and jump to huge extreme conclusions.

People who are upset about 'globalism' are about 40+ years late. Globalization/Internationalism began after World War II in the 1940s and ramped up dramatically in the 1980s, when the western world was headed by some of the most conservative leaders (Mulroney, Reagan, Thatcher).

The world is globalized today whether you like it or not, and it's likely been globalized since before you were born.

Globalization has been championed by the conservative governments of the western world for the last 40+ years. That it is now seen by some people as some leftist/communist/tyrannical whatever is hilarious.
