What do you think about this ?

We should come up with a blog piece about how we'll be living on Mars in the future, owning nothing, eating insects, with a social credit system AND we'll all be chipped

Send it to the WEF, see if some clerk in there absentmindedly retweets it and watch the online Armageddon unfold.

I mean that's how the whole Qanon thing started, surely it's worth a shot..

And then we will have people on this forum asking such gems as "Would you be happy owning nothing on Mars?"

Elite paedophilia was a David Icke conspiracy theory a decade ago. Now it's just a mundane fact.

Why would mass tracking or depopulating be beyond the ken of someone who rapes young girls in their "private life"? (Or is 'only' close friends with someone who does.)

The facade that Gates is a friendly, well-meaning nerd with business sense - which held good until very recently - is now totally exploded, never to be put back together again.

It isn't a vindication of every madcap conspiracy attributed to Gates but it shows that he is a *completely untrustworthy* person who deserves no benefit of the doubt of any kind, from anyone. He should be universally shunned.

There's no relation between David Icke and reality.

Paedophiles have been around since the year dot, however it's only really in recent decades, through changes in society and other factors that the issue has come more to the forefront, leading to larger investigations and uncovering abuses, e.g. the Catholic church

Conspiracy theorists have utterly nothing to do with that. However they screech endlessly that everyone in power is a paedophile (except for the serial adulterers they like) so when someone actually turns out to be a paedophile they say "we did that". No they didn't.

Maybe it would be a more interesting world if our local TDs woke up in the morning gripped by Dr Evil notions of a 1984 style dystopia, hell-bent on "controlling" and "tracking" the populace, all part of a perfect hivemind of other officials all working towards the same nefarious end-goal.

Sadly, I don't think they do. Still, conspiracy theorists keep the dream alive. Any day now.

Lol. Why is it impossible for you to explain what you did to verify something?

it's only impossible if you didn't actually verify it.

And no, I wouldn't be happy owning nothing. I wouldn't be happy owning a lot of stuff. My happiness isn't dependant on owning stuff.

It's not a relevant question because the WEF is not trying remove the concept of ownership.

Ok. You claim to have heard him talk about it.

Where? When?

I think you are lying. I don't think he has actually said any such thing.

I know where the quote comes from and the context it was said in. It didn't come from Klaus Schwab and you're the first person to claim he said it.

So cool. Post the youtube link. Point to where he said it.

But lemme guess, you're going to make some excuse as to why you're not going to find it, right? Going to claim that it was deleted off youtube or something? Anything and everything accept admit that you were wrong because you were too lazy and dishonest to actually check into something?

You're not posting the link because it doesn't exist. You lied. You didn't see it on twitter.

You did nothing to actually verify the statement. You just swallowed the claim whole from some grifter.

And now weirdly, rather than just admit to this, you lied.

Why man? Why do you have to lie to support your position?

Why do you believe your position when you have to lie?

I do read conspiracy theorists links. It's usually a good way to explain why they're misrepresenting them.

And I have searched. You're lying.

You know you're lying.

Please explain why. I genuinely don't get it.

You aren't preserving any illusion of credibility. No one is being fooled by your lie.

Are you lying on reflex? Do you think that if you try really really hard your lie will become truth?

Why do you not look into the stuff you believe? Are you afraid that you might start to question them?

It was published on the site first, with disclaimers stating that it didn't actually reflect any of their WEFs goals or wants. The context of the article makes it very clear. But of course, no conspiracy theorists actually read the article. (The article doesn't even say that no one will own anything.)

It was later included in some twitter video or something where the "you'll own nothing" quote was used in a list of other statements. This is what the majority of conspiracy theorists are screaming about.

A twitter video. Not an article. Not a statement. Not an actual goal.

None of them, bad2thebone included looked any deeper than the conspiracy grifter bleating that quote at them.

They just believed what they were told like good little sheep. And then, they lie about it to preserve that belief from mean and upsetting questions.

How do you know she is "nice"?

Obviously a national-level politician should not be writing dystopian fiction and a prominent think-tank should not be publishing it. She isn't George Orwell, she's a legislator with an obligation to protect people's rights so "imagining" these rights might disappear causes scandal.

Even if no one had got "the wrong end of the stick" it shows incredibly poor judgement on the part of several people.

Yes. Have you?
