The Biden Presidency Already Has Its First Conspiracy Theory: The Great Reset

Joe Biden isn’t president yet. But his incoming White House already has its first conspiracy theory to deal with.

It goes by the tag the “Great Reset” and under its construct a wild dystopian future is in store. The coronavirus pandemic is merely a means to enslave humanity and end capitalism. Biden’s “Build Back Better” slogan is really a cover for nefarious plotting of a global cabal from Davos, Switzerland, intent on abolishing private property and building prison camps for the dissenters who refuse to accept microchips that will read their thoughts. Even Grover from Sesame Street might be involved.

The Great Reset is a hodgepodge of one-world-government fears that has gained steam in the wake of Biden’s win. It’s been fed by right-wing media personalities who have told their audiences that Biden is bent on launching said reset by using the coronavirus pandemic to ban religion, crush small businesses, and turn humans into something like robots—or replace them with actual robots.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has declared that the Great Reset is “up in your grill,” while talk radio host Glenn Beck said the Great Reset is a plot to institute Nazi-style restrictions on American citizens. WorldNetDaily has called it a scheme from our “globalist overlords.” Pro-Trump personalities “Diamond and Silk” have warned their audience on Newsmax TV that Biden is behind the Great Reset plot.

It's because the tRumpubliCons have nothing to sell but fear. How else does the Greed Over People party get people to vote against their own best interests?

Do we have to report to the FEMA camps and then we get the Great Reset or does it happen concurrently?

I'm confused.

A lot of them compare him to various Bible heroes, and believe he was chosen by God to implement His will for this country, but very rarely do they even suggest he's anything like Jesus.

Introducing the 'Great Reset,' world leaders' radical plan to transform the economy

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/504499-introducing-the-great-reset-world-leaders-radical-plan-to

...

At a virtual meeting earlier in June hosted by the World Economic Forum, some of the planet’s most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists announced a proposal to “reset” the global economy. Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.


...

Although many details about the Great Reset won’t be rolled out until the World Economic Forum meets in Davos in January 2021, the general principles of the plan are clear: The world needs massive new government programs and far-reaching policies comparable to those offered by American socialists such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in their Green New Deal plan.

Or, put another way, we need a form of socialism — a word the World Economic Forum has deliberately avoided using, all while calling for countless socialist and progressive plans.

The thing that FDR used to create the golden age of the middle class of the 1950s. You know, the era that most conservatives pine for.

The thing that a lot of European nations use which kept the peace on the continent since the 1940s, one of the more longer stretches without war fare breaking out.

It's also the thing that Reaganism/Thatcherism tried to destroy and wound uo creating the greatest wealth inequality in modern times.

I think you meant minimum. There is no practical way to cap wages because it just gets shifted into other compensation.

Always the same boring one world order with prison camps and microchips. Though the robots are a nice touch.

Still, same shit.
