As I know you to be a sound, rational fellow Matt, I feel we can have some good discussion about this all here that can't really be had on Soshul Media. Try and bear with me, this might start rambling
There's a lot of layers to this, from the pretty far out ideas of Bill Gates masterminding a vaccine for some sort of global control - not sure how that works or why he would give a sh*t, I haven't bothered to even look at that rabbit hole - to the great reset/agenda 2030 stuff, all with varying degrees of credibility attached.
I don't really believe 99% of it other than perhaps some of the economic goals to secure more wealth inequality, as I think its easy escapism for most FB Karens and Kens to assume govt wants an Orwellian future where they can read your thoughts, force you to be micro-chipped before you can ever leave the house again, etc via the sweet globally-masterminded delivery of a virus. That is before you even consider that it would need the entire world to be in on it, including China. That's a lot more fun to rant about and easier to justify contempt and disobedience for than the simple idea of a global pandemic making them miserable since they should avoid spreading it so they don't endanger loved ones, have their liberties curbed, have to wear masks, etc.
There is the argument that COVID-19 has presented a convenient opportunity to start implementing measures towards Schwab's goal, but again this does rely heavily on global co-operation that frankly I don't believe exists beyond a handful of countries that might scratch each others backs. It also needs people in power that can be puppeted accordingly. Many countries are already going back to normal again.
Given all of the above, and given the exposure that this idea is all receiving and massive media attention, why is the whole thing so publicised? Why wouldn't this agenda be as secret as the contents of Area 51; surely no-one should have a clue about it and it should come across as proper lunatic, Illuminati conspiracy stuff? I don't get where Gates fits into any this either and why he's up there with Schwab as one of the prime evils, despite the fact people hate him for M$ and vilify him even though he's the most recognised philanthropist on the planet.
You've obviously spent more time attempting to understand all this so I'd really like to hear your views on how much of it you think is plausible and how much is nonsense.
To me right now, it just seems like our govt has bumbled through a situation that could have played out drastically different (much like McDonald Trump's handling in the US). I feel like normality is perhaps realistically coming in 2022 in tangible terms, even if the economy is f**ked. I also think Bojo and the cabinet of clowns are too inept to follow some master plan even if it was laid out for them.
