I used to keep all this stuff to myself. I considered it amusing speculation by some paranoid commentators, but now it's just rolling out relentlessly like clockwork. Klaus Schwab is going along saying COVID-19 is an enormous opportunity for us to "build back better.". Al Gore's "wrenching transformation of society" is finally here! The changes will happen and, due to social media control, there will be the perception that they are what all the citizens of the world wanted and demanded. We will be presented with the appearance that we are literally begging for our chains to be put on.
There will be some good things that come out of it. The whole social hierarchy will be flattened. Since consumption will be strictly controlled no matter how much money you have, there will be very little social inequality and use of the planets resources will be based on not violating the laws and doing pro-social, pro-environment actions.
For example, you will not be able to use transport unless there is an explicitly justified need. Foreign vacations will be eliminated. Luxury and recreational goods and foods will be a very rare indulgence, regardless of how much money you have.
I'm just helping HN get ahead of the curve here. This stuff is steamrolling out so fast and effectively, especially in Australia that I can't think anyone can do anything to stop it.
The funniest thing is watching North Korea's response to the pandemic. It's like they didn't have to change anything. They just rejected 3 million doses of donated vaccine! They also report 0 Coronavirus cases. It's like Kim is saying "hey guys, we're already at the finish line, we don't need that coronavirus panic to get there." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/sep/1/north-korea-reportedly-rejects-chinese-vaccine-dos/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/sep/1/north-korea-...

Will it? Or will the rules not apply to those with enough money? Will they still fly to Davos in their private jets and devise more rules to cut down on how much carbon the rest of us emit?
- narrator 5y agoI'd imagine it will be like how Soviet communism functioned with "perks" like Dachas in Sochi dolled out haphazardly and unofficially based on party status and "need". For anyone below the elite, I'd imagine there will be an AI god managing this sort of thing based on a fitness function of sustainability.
- swader999 5y agoIf you keep going down this line of thought it makes way more sense to just kill us off. Controlling consumption of 8 billion people is a non-starter.
- iammisc 5y agoOh don't worry they've been doing that since roe v Wade.
- aww_dang 5y ago"Population control" is a popular topic for the WEF. The WEF was started out of the Club of Rome which published "The Limits to Growth". Gates' family has deep ties to the Eugenics movement, which is now rebranded as population control. Likewise for the Rockefeller group. Indeed, they all advocate for lowering the world's population. Today this is rationalized through the lens of climate change, but the goal preceded the climate scare.
