Deep Dive into the Great Reset and the Modern Left
What exactly is it and what does it tell us about the left and the real structures of power?
And why has the left become so openly illiberal?
Hope to answer these
If you enjoy, I would appreciate an RT of this first tweet!

I’ll start with the Great Reset which is what sent me down this rabbit hole
It& #39;s basically a confused and muddled progressive globalist policy platform: think Globalist New Deal
It wants to use the economic recovery from C-19 to build a better world

How?
Change Capitalism
Design an economy that:
-is sustainable
-doesn’t leave people behind
-saves our planet
A reset of the way we think and do business
Change the way
-we evaluate economic success away from GDP
-businesses behave: Stakeholder over Shareholder Capitalism

The switch to Stakeholder Capitalism is particularly important to the Great Reset
They claim otherwise, but you can’t voluntarily achieve it
What passes for sustainability at the moment is a combination of PR masked as CSR and virtue signaling
A switch requires legislation

Anyways, their basic logic is like this
Capitalism is broken because it
-leads to inequality
-doesn’t behave sustainably
-is a system requiring infinite growth on a planet with finite resources
The market cannot be trusted to do the right thing in terms of the greater good

Climate change via CO2 emission is their proof of this view
Their conclusions:
- It’s an existential threat to humanity and there is no way that Capitalism can be trusted to do anything meaningful in this regard.
- The world needs rapid a transformation to avoid catastrophe

Solution: there needs to be more centralization of power such that better “global” decisions are taken for the greater good
Globalization no longer means the interconnected nature of the world economy
It means more centralized “global” thinking and decision making

That’s why you see strange concepts like “Global Health” is being talked about
What does that even mean?
Health is a matter of local infrastructure/policy so why should it be a global issue?
Centralized control - They think they know better than you

Let’s look at another example: Agriculture
We are slowly moving towards a world where farmers will be told what to farm, where to farm and how to farm
There are already woke NGOs pushing their farming principles onto farmers

These NGOs leverage big business to force these policies onto farmers
“Agriculture is often fingered as a major culprit in climate change...We strongly believe farmers have a massive role to play in being a part of the solution" says General Mills

The most important policy recommendation made by the Great Reset is that:
Covid-19 recovery stimulus packages must include green conditions
In other words, Covid-19 is the impetus for jump-starting the “Green Economy” of tomorrow
Even though markets show this hasn& #39;t worked

To be clear, the WEF crowd still believe in Capitalism, but they want a type of elite benevolent Capitalism where they can wield more control for the greater good
I’d call this the Modern Neo-Liberal (NeoLib) wing of the modern left/center
Think: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden

One of their favorite tactics is the exploitation of crises to accrue more power
-Len Bias led to War on Drugs
-9/11 led to the War on Terror and surveillance state
-Climate Change led to Green Revolution
-C-19 leads to the Great Reset
-Jan 6 leads to War on Domestic Terror

Each of these events was over-exaggerated with the help of MSM to provoke two emotions in the general public: FEAR and ANGER
It’s easy to convince people to sacrifice some of their liberties when they’re convinced that there’s an existential threat

The ultimate result of this has been:
-a consistent erosion of fundamental liberties
-the growth of big government
-a consolidation of power by ruling class elites

There’s no better example of this than the current GameSpot short-squeeze scandal
I think people on both sides can see this for what it is
It’s clear Wall Street, MSM, and Politicians are all in bed together
This is the ruling elite class

Anyways, the NeoLibs are one side of the Great Reset
But this picture isn’t complete yet, because we haven’t looked at what’s on the other side of the Great Reset:
I call them the RADICAL PROGRESSIVEs (RP)
Yup, that& #39;s right
They& #39;ve also got a seat at the Great Reset

Turns out The Great Reset is rife with RP’s newspeak agenda:
They dedicate specific chapters to:
-Gender Parity
-Systemic Racism
-LGBTI Inclusion
-Green New Deals
-Circular Economy
-Global Governance
-Global Health
-Inclusive Design

This is the part where I scratch my head
Why has the NeoLibs adopted all these far left doctrines which aren& #39;t even particularly popular with most people?
Why has the left surrendered it& #39;s soul to woke-ism?
Did they really drink the radical left Cool-Aid

To answer this one needs to understand what the RPs are and where they came from
Their movement stems from a philosophy called Postmodernism
They believe that there is no objective truth and reality is actually defined by one& #39;s own experience (subjectivism/relativism)

They reject the principles of the enlightenment:
-reason
-logic
-science
-individual freedom
-tolerance
-constitutional government
All are considered relativistic
But by this thinking then that means that there are ultimately no universal human rights either...

It’s a cynical movement that rejects the founding principles of modern democracies
They don’t have any gratitude for the positives that exist in our modern societies
Any flaw in society is sufficient proof that the system is rotten and must be torn down

Uhm...marxism has already been tried...

This radical movement is responsible for mainstreaming these ideas on the left:
-Critical Race Theory
-Systemic Racism
-Cancel Culture
-Censorship
-Identity Politics
It& #39;s a dangerous ideology because you can& #39;t fight it with logic since they reject logic

So why did this happen?
The origins of the mainstreaming of this illiberal movement start shortly after the Occupy Wall Street Movement
Hmm...so just as people started rising up against the ruling elite...the 1%...America all of a sudden becomes racist?

Obama and the MSM managed to launch "The War Against Racism"
According to polling, he was a fairly unifying president during his first term
Then all of a sudden in 2012-13, everything became about identity politics and race
Think about it

Keep in mind that President Trump was also a creation of the establishment MSM
He was the perfect heel for the new War on Racism
Their blind-spot was that behind the caricature of Orange Man Bad was a populist message similar to Occupy Wall Street that resonated with people

But they never expected him to win
Trump& #39;s Presidency broke Washington as the establishment lost its mind
-MSM outed itself as openly dishonest and partisan
-The deep state exposed itself as corrupt and authoritarian
-Even the GOP showed its true colors
Now it& #39;s in the open

So now we go back to the question which was most confusing for me
Why have the NeoLibs embraced the Radical Progressives?
I think there are a few reasons
1) They needed their votes to beat Trump - Bernie bros didn& #39;t come out for Hillary in 2016

2) Radical Progressive tactics are pretty effective
Once you get people to buy into the program, they become true believers
They don’t challenge or criticize their side on lies or hypocrisy
They don& #39;t accept facts or logical arguments from opposing viewpoints

3) There has been some bleed-through of Radical Progressive ideas into Liberal ideology
People aren& #39;t either NeoLibs or RPs, there are many shades of gray
For example, this platform& #39;s founder is simultaneously the ruling elite and also donates millions to anti-racism

So when we analyze the Great Reset, we& #39;re actually seeing a reflection of the current political reality
Overall, the NeoLibs are the ones running things
They pay lip service to the radical left and keep them in check by demonizing the horrible nazis/racists on the right

But I wonder how long the NeoLibs will remain in control
The radicalization of the left is continuing
It& #39;s not always easy to put the cat back in the bag
Remember, they helped create candidate Trump as a weak Republican nominee for Hillary to run against
How& #39;d that go?

In their arrogance, they play footsie with radical progressives thinking that they can control them
They virtue signal by adopting their newspeak and pretending to care about their issues
But it& #39;s just a diversion necessary to draw the spotlight away from themselves

Yes, right now the real levers of power are controlled by NeoLibs
But ideas are powerful and right now a lot of bad ones exist on the left
Their tolerance of extremism on their side is dangerous and short-sighted
Once radical socialists come to power, they don& #39;t leave

The other issue is that the original problem has not gone away
People are still unhappy with the ruling elite
Occupy Wall Street and Trumpism are two sides of the same coin
They are a rejection of Globalism and ultimately the corrupt ruling class

Going back to the Great Reset
They want to blame capitalism for the problems of modern society while ignoring the contributions of their own corruption
And they want to keep pushing Globalism as a way to consolidate their own power

Think about this for a second, if they are that concerned with Global Warming then why don& #39;t they address the real issue that the bulk of the problem is not in North America or Europe, but rather Asia
They never acknowledge it as the main obstacle

The ruling elite have always been cynical and dishonest
The difference is that they& #39;ve now embraced the illiberal behavior of their progressive allies as a means of advancing their objectives
And they& #39;re realizing they can get away with it
That should give everyone pause

Is the Great Reset some big conspiracy?
Not really
But it& #39;s a good way to understand what& #39;s really going on and how things have gotten so crazy
In a way its a troll of the right
They want the left and right at each other& #39;s throats because they think it will insulate them
