I agree with you though. I've said it multiple times, there were important lessons to be learned from COVID.

And we as a collective society learned absolutely none of them.

If there was one colossal mistake that society as a whole made, it was probably the vaccine.

I think God meant to Cull some of these idiots and we saved them.
Curious what sway you claim they hold? I mean it’s a lot of academics and figureheads talking about their version of the economic future. Isnt it really just a massive think tank or conference that shares ideas. I don’t really see any direct evidence that they hold some sort of true power. It just seems like the latest bogeyman.

I am also curious about this. Seems like one of those, is scary cause it had “world” and “economics” in it and some short story about everything being rentals was associated to it.

I think we should switch our language to Icelandic or something. Then we won't have these dumb rhymes anymore. I swear all conspiracy theories come about just because you can rhyme two words together.

Working with Google Translate I get "Tru-djöfullegt" (I translate "dopey" instead of "dope", just in case the latter meant drugs).

Pandemic is "heimsfaraldur" and scam and plan are svindl and áætlun respectively.

They should ditch Esperanto and make an International Language exclusively of Icelandic, German, Welsh and Gaelic.

One would think it is, but sadly not and our esteemed premier is going to be on stage with this idiot lapping it all up.

If he had said that crap to my face I'd have been looking around for the hidden camera.

"Is this Just For Laughs: Gags or something? Whats going on here?"

I gotta give Tucker credit. I dont think I could have finished that video with a straight face.

Hope someone FOIP's the tax dollars being spent on this event, including everything from publicly-paid transport, security detail, and government tire pumping on sharing a stage with this bloviating political gastropod.

"We hope to awaken them..." So, uh, make us woke? It's all so confusing.
