The Real Reason the Rich Flock to Davos

[bilby]

Centralized planning = liberal policy. Individual freedom = conservativism.

Never before have I seen such an obviously and insanely inaccurate description of anything, expressed so simply and succinctly.

It's like asking someone to explicitly some rather confusing navigational instructions, and being told: "Left=North. Right=South." No, those things aren't equal; They don't even share a reference frame. They might possibly be equal under a set of very specific circumstances, but the assumption that those circumstances are universal, or even anything other than a tiny minority of cases, requires an abject lack of understanding of pretty much everything.

The only information this statement imparts is that the person I am talking to uses those words in such a way as to render themselves completely incomprehensible to those who adhere to the conventional meanings of those words.

You would be easier for me to understand if you had written your post in Greek. And I don't speak any Greek.

The point is that it is the leftist media and Hollywood who are promoting the ideas of Davos. When it comes to promoting anything in Hollywood it is not the right that has this power.

I'm sure you have some examples of this.

They actually have their own website here: https://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2023

I suggest you reread the post that prompted my question or explain why your answer answers the question, because it doesn't.

And what are "the ideas of Davos"?

The democrats can no longer call this a "conspiracy theory" since it is openly advertised now.

For all to see, observe this liberal paradise of centralized planning of a digital economy where everyone will have their money turned off at will of the elite like the CCP already has underway, complete open trade without concern for wages (even Thom Hartmann is against this), artificial seeds and agriculture in order to enable big agra to put small individual farmers out of business..

Centralized planning = liberal policy. Individual freedom = conservativism.

Another non-answer to a question.

If you read what the world forum promotes (link I provided) you will see a lot of stuff like sustainability of the environment, climate warming, how to grow more food, etc. Then I provide the example Hollywood promoting eating bugs. The message they paid to promote normal people to eating bugs iand non meat prodicts in order to save using carbon.

This is clearly left ideology.

Reality has a liberal bias.

It is like you don't get that it is rich elite v the rest of us, not left v right. But then you hitched your wagon to a rich elite wannabee narcissist and thought he gave a fuck about you.

Yet you seem to support the lack of regulation that helps leads to the mega wealthy.

The sooner the existing political left and political right realize this is really "us versus them", the better. Wake up and stop arguing with each other to go after the real enemies of freedom, individual liberty, and opportunity.

Trump was mega wealthy but that was all he had in common with the world forum. That crowd of elites would never allow him in their circle and Trump would never want to be there either even if invited.

1) Trump wasn't mega-wealthy. He is a fraud with incredible lawyers/accountants and inherited a lot of property that has kept him solvent... well that and the casino stock fraud thing. The crowd of elites hate him because he is a fraud. He'd even show up to charity events just to make it appear he actually had given to said charity.

2) Trump was a right-wing authoritarian populist, which means his position on the status of the people was merely a method to gain support, not that he actually gave a fuck. I mean after all... if any of his MAGA rioters went to his golf course, they'd likely be escorted away from the premises.

Your support for him shows that people can easily be swayed by populistic jargon... even by narcissists that hate you.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

the right says it hates Davos

No, it doesn't. A tiny number of nutters from "the right" might say that, because frankly there's nothing whatsoever that you can't find a tiny number of nutters to support; But as a group, "the right" loves the concentration of wealth, and everything that that implies.

People like this guy absolutely hate Davos, the fed, or any other type of central planning. All the gold bugs, preppers, and gun nuts feel the same way:

Are you seriously using doomsday preppers and gold bugs as authorities of knowledge? Gold bugs don't know anything about economics or history that predates the 1970s.

They are about as right wing as you can get with ideology. They want more personal freedom and liberty.

Funny how they supported the guy who wanted to get rid of American democracy.

 

[bilby]

They are about as right wing as you can get with ideology.

Like Mussolini and Hitler, for example?

They want more personal freedom and liberty.

Apparently not. You seem to be blissfully unaware of the history of people who are "about as right wing as you can get".

This is clearly left ideology.

The warming of the climate is science, not ideology. How to grow more food is science and is necessary since there are more people - it is not ideology but common sense.

The consumption of insects for protein is common in parts of the world where people do not have as much wealth. Insects are plentiful and a good source of protein. In the West, we do not have a history of consuming insects. From a purely scientific point of view, it makes sense to incorporate a plentiful source of protein into our diet. it is an added bonus that it would not add to global warming. I get the resistance to it - I do not plan to transition to an insect-protein diet. But to claim it is "left ideology" is partisan nonsense.

1) Trump wasn't mega-wealthy. He is a fraud

And he is not in prison. What does it say about your system?

1) Trump wasn't mega-wealthy. He is a fraud

That it is only slightly more self aware than the Russian system?

Globalization Has Died and Davos 2023 Was Its Funeral Ceremony, Scholars Sum Up

The World Economic Forum's annual meeting took place in Davos on January 16-20, 2023. International observers sat down with Sputnik to formulate the main message of the gathering in a nutshell.

sputniknews.com

From this article: "Davos has become the dressing room of the West and is more divorced than ever from the rest. It no longer represents the real concerns of most of the world’s population. Its obsession with climate change, social justice, gender and other forms of wokeness has made it a laughing stock and target of disdain for most of the world."

Honestly, I don't see how you guys can say with a straight face how social justice and other forms of wokeness aren't liberal and left ideology. You might agree or dissagree with social justice and wokeness, I see no problem with that. But to just try to claim this isn't left ideology has been and is very disingenuous IMO.

Do you realize how laughable it is to link a Russian gov’t propaganda site while using right wing buzzwords like “ social justice” and “ wokeness”?

Or to argue that concerns over climate change and social justice are inherently “left ideology”?

The term "wokeness" is just absurd, as anything is "woke" these days according to some people. Tolerance for gays in the 1980s, WOKE! Blacks in white schools in the 50s, WOKE!!!!! M&M characters, WOOOOOOOOOOOKE!!!!

The obsession with Woke are the people being manipulated by social media, telling them to fear windmills and goblins. You are echo'ing Russia propaganda as well, which seems confusing. Is Russia really your utopia?

But in this case we know the Russian propoganda is true and accurate. We know it is true because Davos tells us their goals on their own website. This author may have been from Russia but he is simply pointing out and advertising what Davos stands for. Inclusive goals which (like it or not) are considered liberal in the US today. I might see your point if Davos was pleading for more guns, less abortion, pro Exxon Oil, and less taxes on rich, but I don't see that on their website. And even the free and open trading with globilization that used to be a Republican talking point, is no longer Republican ideology. Not since Trump beat it out of them with his 2 x 4.

Yeah, that statement is in conflict with itself.

We know it is true because Davos tells us their goals on their own website. This author may have been from Russia but he is simply pointing out and advertising what Davos stands for. Inclusive goals which (like it or not) are considered liberal in the US today. I might see your point if Davos was pleading for more guns, less abortion, pro Exxon Oil, and less taxes on rich, but I don't see that on their website.

So, instead it is about expanded diversity, inflation, economic growth concerns and whether centralized banking should intercede, trade, investment. Sounds like a diverse number of things.

And even the free and open trading with globilization that used to be a Republican talking point, is no longer Republican ideology.

...umm... I think you mean it isn't a far-right authoritarian populist ideaology (though you aren't seeing Boebart, Greene, Gaetz, or any of the other fascists actually doing anything but sounding out. Otherwise, the Republican Party, what is left, they are very pro free trade. Yes, they are being replaced with self-promoting zealots who have almost no political positions (yet, you seem quite excited about them).

Not since Trump beat it out of them with his 2 x 4.

He did? Since when?
