This is usually the case with dystopian fiction; the stories that really resonate are the ones that express our subconscious dread at where our society’s self-appointed “leaders” are taking us. The same is true if conspiracy theories. QAnon is absurd dangerous nonsense, but upper-class human trafficking rings do exist (see: Epstein). The Great Reset is likewise absurd (the people who attend the WEF are dangerous, malevolent, and powerful, but the WEF itself has no real power) but the anxiety about it reflects our awareness of how the upper classes see us.
