I've seen a lot of people use the Great Reset hashtag to explain some sort of totalitarian global government that's on the horizon a lot on here and on Twitter.

I've also been told they were openly talking about taking the steps they were going to take.

I've since looked at the open information on the World Economic Forum's site linked below

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/

I can't see anything on there that seems related to what people talk about on here. I've started to watch a couple of vidoes and will watch more but from what I've watched so far the president of Colombia wants to increase availability of technology to poor people and allow poor farmers to broker direct deals and cut out the middleman and make virtual doctors available to people in poor areas who struggle to get access to medicine.

What's negative about that?
 


It's a bunch of communists that want to take down western society. They have to do away with the Constitution. They want centralized global control over your life, and they don't want the West or USA to have a sovereign nation. They want to control you. Reading the Communist Manifesto helps to understand it and following the World Economic Forum's goals in achieving their Great Reset.

I've seen other things where the WEF says that their goal is by 2030 that you will not own anything. They want the state to own everything. In order to do that they have to get rid of the middle class and destroy the Western society way of life.

There's far more information on the link I posted than that, that's just a brief introductory video for a presentation.

EDIT - These are the stated goals

The Great Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market toward fairer outcomes. To this end, governments should improve coordination (for example, in tax, regulatory, and fiscal policy), upgrade trade arrangements, and create the conditions for a “stakeholder economy.” At a time of diminishing tax bases and soaring public debt, governments have a powerful incentive to pursue such action.

Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property, trade, and competition.

The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress. The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans.

Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building “green” urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.

The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.

Do you support the World Economic Forum in achieving the Great Reset?

I don't see any issue with any of the goals stated there. I started the thread because I'm open minded as to what other information people can provide (as long as it's reasonably sourced).

I don't have a concrete opinion yet.

The great reset was when Sherdog's Windows 98 server couldn't handle simple requests that all our likes got reset to 0. Dark day.

You should have seen that day as an opportunity to fire yourself up the likes chart. Sherdog removed the old establishment and allowed newer Sherdoggers the opportunity to flourish.

Truly a blessed day.

Think of how the catholic church purged society for its wealth during the middle ages.

Do you have anything that supports you saying that or is that a history based hunch?
 
The phrase has been around for a while and I didn't know it had been adopted for some potential post-COVID movement. I guess it shows how little attention I'm paying at the moment. The concern for most appropriately cynical people is that these idealistic movements tend to get hijacked and become a consolidation of power. I'm unaware of any policies being discussed, so I can't comment on that.

In the internet circles I frequent "the great reset" has a very negative connotation, but it is some great sloganeering. I mean the great reset sounds fantastic.
