Does 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...

  Turns out, they do and the author of this wikipedia page is indeed the founder of the program: https://unnwo.org/ https://unnwo.org/

    > 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.

      The name is a bit creepy with hints of dystopia, but surely by the description it's actually a noble goal?

    Between 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.

  Wow, 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.

  I think it may not be officially sanctioned by the UN. Unfortunately, it's really hard to tell. This is why trademarks are a thing.
