For one, the WEF is not actually aiming for people to "own nothing and be happy," as the author states.

For one, the WEF is not actually aiming for people to "own nothing and be happy," as the author states.
- narrator 11mo agoThe WEF did publish an article that said that. They may have deleted it by now because of all the bad press it generated.
- zigzagger11 11mo agoIt said that, as in it literally said that that was a prediction the member had for the future. It is no way an economic policy of the WEF. And its not deleted.
- Lammy 11mo agoWhy did they say it? https://xcancel.com/wef/status/983378870819794945 https://xcancel.com/wef/status/983378870819794945
- zigzagger11 11mo agoThose are predictions...not policies. You'll note that the WEF is far from the only group saying that meat consumption will go down because of climate change.
- DANmode 11mo ago> Those are predictions...not policies. Bill Gates makes some interesting predictions that happen to tightly align with how he advises leaders, and invests. Kind of the same thing, here. Split the hairs.
- zigzagger11 11mo agoThe WEF (one member in an opinion piece) said that subscription-based services will become cheap & fast enough that owning things will become less desirable than renting. That's the conspiracy here. I'm fully willing to believe that the rich are conspiring against us, but the whole "own nothing and be happy," is just another meme-level conspiracy theory. Believe it if you want, but there is NO PUBLIC PLAN BY THE WEF TO REMOVE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. You can even read in their 2030 document that they explicitly endorse ownership of private property.
- DANmode 11mo agoThey don’t even need to conspire for this to become true, it is happening by momentum alone, now. Food delivery is offering financing. From the jump off point of what they said, and where we’re at, you can start to see how it doesn’t really matter if it’s listed as a top goal on the header of their website or not……………………
- zigzagger11 11mo agoSo then what does the WEF have to do with it. Nothing. It's happening anyways, you just said so.
- DANmode 11mo agoInvestments, advisements, wagging the dog.
- shwaj 11mo agoMaybe Klaus shouldn’t have said it then.
- DANmode 11mo agoThis is a disingenuous-at-best interpretation of that story.
- zigzagger11 11mo agoNot really. Show me where the WEF is publicly planning to get rid of private ownership.
- DANmode 11mo agoSibling comments are more than sufficient. You will engage in some form of hair-splitting about what he was saying, or whether or not he actually speaks for the organization. More than enough here if someone wanted to look.
- zigzagger11 11mo agolol no. You have no proof and thus will supply none. Your assumptions (about me) are also baseless and frankly pathetic. Is the WEF also planning to remove the US as the world's superpower? It's another of their predictions for 2030.
- DANmode 11mo agoHelp me understand what perspective you need to be reading from to see the deleted statements, and go into a defensive strategy for the WEF?
- zigzagger11 11mo agoWhich deleted statements would those be. I can see that the original 2016 article has not been deleted. Klaus Schwab referencing it during COVID is also not deleted. Neither is the video on X which has the quote, along with a series of other predictions. So what exactly are you privy to here that the rest of us aren't.
