- foobarbecue 7y agoDoes the UN seriously have a program called New World Order?? Am I missing a joke here? I looked at the page and it seems pretty legit...
- SimplyUnknown 7y agoTurns out, they do and the author of this wikipedia page is indeed the founder of the program: https://unnwo.org/ https://unnwo.org/
- input_sh 7y ago> Happytalism is a new economic paradigm which places happiness, well-being, and freedom at the center of human development models, systems, and all life. Oh wow. Just... wow.
- andrepd 7y agoThe name is a bit creepy with hints of dystopia, but surely by the description it's actually a noble goal?
- pridkett 7y agoBetween the name being “New World Order”, the phrase “happytalism”, and the abbreviation as UNIDOH, which makes me think of Homer Simpson, I honestly can’t tell if this is an elaborate parody or not.
- slfnflctd 7y agoWow, the song N.W.O. by the band Ministry is almost 30 years old now, and it was a known 'trigger phrase' for everyone from conspiracy theorists to Evangelicals for a while before that. I believe Bush Sr.'s creepy use of the phrase was in 1990, which was weird because it had been around since the first World War and had developed a lot of paranoid associations. I still wonder to what extent it was intentional, and why. Maybe he just thought it was funny.
- beojan 7y agoI think it may not be officially sanctioned by the UN. Unfortunately, it's really hard to tell. This is why trademarks are a thing.
