It’s just like I said. We shouldn’t be taking Klaus Schwab’s books as predictions, but as manifestos. That book up there, COVID-19: The Great Reset, also mentions cyberattacks and infrastructure failure as contributing factors to economic collapse. The media have also been signaling hard about cyberattacks, lately. Stuff like direct ransomware attacks on hospitals, and so on.
It could be a prelude to something far worse. It feels like certain forces out there are trying to go full fucking Bane on America, crashing this country with no survivors.
Let’s look at a few interesting quotes from COVID-19: The Great Reset
By “robust social fabric”, he means Unpaid Work. It’s a pretty bog-standard progressive dog whistle these days to talk about all the little things people generally do for each other out of courtesy or social obligations as though they were labor, essentially to redefine people who do non-work things as though they were working-class. See also, “emotional labor”.
This paragraph follows from the last. What’s interesting is that I’ve advanced this same exact argument years and years and years ago. People hated it. I told people that if we want to save the environment, we have to quit outsourcing jobs to China, quit moving huge amounts of goods on container ships, get rid of planned obsolescence, produce goods locally, and use them almost forever; I explained that we needed to implement a “circular economy” of repairing and up-cycling products instead of buying a new phone every year and tossing the old one in a landfill. In other words, we needed to stop helping entropy fuck us over and implement a negentropic economy instead of one centered on constant, unchecked growth.
Neolibs told me, in no uncertain terms, that I hated poor people, that I wanted poor Chinese to lose their factory jobs and go back to rice farming and being poor, and that I was racist and expressing an America-first policy of hoarding wealth. I’m not kidding. That’s the standard Centrist Neolib position on the economy. Just keep consooming forever. The environment doesn’t actually matter unless they’re trying to placate the Left with green tech false promises and buy themselves some easy votes. Growth, Profit, Grofit.
The Centrist Neoliberal position aligns more or less with what Wall Street investors want. Wall Street investors don’t give a fuck about American jobs. They think you’re dead weight. You want a $14 an hour minimum wage? Fuck you. They’ll find a 16-year-old Chinese slave girl to do it for two dollars an hour and a bowl of rice a day. Nobody gives a fuck about labor unionism anymore. The people who presently claim to represent the working class are all a bunch of do-nothing liberal arts majors and trust fund kiddies who think unions are just labor aristocracies for white people. These dumb Antifa motherfuckers call themselves anti-capitalist, when they are literally backed by the same cunts who run sweatshops in Southeast Asia.

The Left-Right dichotomy is totally wrong. The current political fight is actually a Battle Royale where Left-wing and Right-wing populists are fighting in the streets while Center Neoliberal authoritarian bureaucrat types look down from their ivory towers in awe and dismay at how the serfs are revolting against them. The Left are willing to be the pawns and attack dogs of the Center Neolibs because the Center Neolibs have offered an olive branch, as they always have; a slate of progressive policies and minor welfare concessions. The Right are spinning off into counter-cultural hell, vowing to dismantle the whole shebang in favor of small government and lower taxation.
I’ve always been in favor of the Left and Right populists ganging up on the Center. Who the fuck needs all these bureaucrats and NGOs? Jesus Christ, they just fired that old, useless Deep State fuck Henry Kissinger from the Pentagon and I think his ass was welded to the goddamn chair. They needed the Jaws of Life to undo the upholstery from his wrinkled buttocks. These motherfuckers aren’t elected. They’re appointed. They have no transparency, no accountability, they throw elected officials under the bus all the time and direct public rage and anxiety upon them, and they don’t think we have a right to even know what the fuck they’re doing.
Well, that’s where they’re wrong. We have the right, and the responsibility, to audit these no-account motherfuckers and every little piece of shit policy they propose.
