Ecology isn’t just the logic of total economy, it’s also the new morality of Capital.
The system’s state of internal crisis and the rigorous selection going on are such
that we will need a new criteria to operate such sorting with. From one era to the
next, the idea of virtue was never more than an invention of vice. Without ecology,
how could we have today the existence of two different food channels, one “healthy
and organic” for the rich and their children, and the other notoriously toxic for the
plebes and their offspring, damned to obesity. The planetary hyper-bourgeoisie
couldn’t make their ordinary lifestyle look respectable if its latest caprices weren’t so
scrupulously “respectful of the environment.” Without ecology, no one would have
enough authority anymore to shut up any and all objections to the exorbitant
progress of control.
Tracking, transparency, certification, eco-taxes, environmental excellence, water
police, all give us an idea of the coming state of ecological emergency. Everything
is permitted to a power structure that authorizes itself to act as the representative of
Nature, health, and well-being.
“Once the new economic and behavioral culture has passed into common morality,
coercive measures will doubtless fall into disuse of their own accord.” You’d have to
have all the ridiculous aplomb of a television adventure show host to have such a
frozen perspective and at the same time to call upon us to feel “sorry for the planet”
enough to get mobilized about it and yet remain sufficiently anesthetized to watch
the whole thing with restraint and civility. The new eco-asceticism is precisely that
self-control that is required of us all to negotiate the rescue operation for what the
system itself has taken hostage. In the name of ecology, we must all now tighten
our belts, as yesterday we did so in the name of the economy. The roads could
certainly be transformed into bicycle paths, we ourselves could perhaps within a
certain scope be one day gratified with a guaranteed income, but only at the price of
an entirely therapeutic existence. Those who claim that generalized self-control will
spare us from an environmental dictatorship are lying: the one will make the other’s
bed, and we’ll have both.
most of the middle class enviromental stuff is just lies to maintain current lifestyle while pretending to make a difference.
the consequences of that are whats fueling this paranoia about the great reset.
deep down, we all know what happens when 10 billion humans all share whats currently going to 2 billion humans.
nobody has the politics to deal with the other 8 billion, so we get cognitive dissonance.
I am about the last person to buy into conspiracy theories. But I also recognize everyone has an authoritarian streak Some much more than others.
"I fancied myself as some kind of god....It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” -- George Soros
The WEP apparently thinks it does have the politics to deal with the other 99.9%

Christine Lagarde on how to address COVID-19, climate change and inequality
Conspiracies mostly are accidental in their beginnings. They just happen out of human nature
When Teddy Roosevelt was NYC police commissioner there was a raging crime spree being reported in the city. Daily stories of all kinds of crimes.Greatly alarming the population of the city. People were demanding action be taken. That something must be "NOW!!" Roosevelt knowing that there was actually no change in the crime rate, called one of the two reporters at competing newspapers Lincoln Stephens in and asked him point blank why has was helping in creating the hysteria and what did Roosevelt have to do to get it to stop?
Stephens answered that he was trying to sell more newspapers than the other guy. And the way to stop it was to take the crime log books out of the hall way of the NYC police quarters where anyone could see it, Including himself and the other report reporting on the raging crime spree.
At the beginning of the last century there was another pandemic. One that raged through WWII and is still cycling through human affairs because it is human nature to fear what we do not understand that we want simple solutions for.
Sexually Insatiable Female Morons.

Less than 100 years ago, America's finest minds were convinced the nation was threatened by sexually insatiable female morons. A new history of the eugenics movement sheds light on a bizarre chapter in U.S. history.

Among the many concerns that captivated the American educated class early in the last century, few were thought to be as urgent as the threat posed to the nation by sexually insatiable female morons. This may sound silly; today, our fear of morons is rather abstract, and on a national scale confined mostly to whomever is the current resident of the White House. But a hundred years ago, morons were public enemy No. 1, seen as a drain on the nation's resources and a grave danger to its stability. The situation was most keenly appreciated by progressives -- scientists, businessmen, feminists and liberal politicians -- who, as even the best of us sometimes do, feared that within a short time, the nation would be overrun by simpletons.
But how do you solve a problem like the moron? These poor people, for one, weren't easy to spot. "Feeblemindedness," the medical condition from which morons suffered, was chiefly manifested by subtle, difficult-to-diagnose symptoms, such as poor judgment and a susceptibility to deviance. The only way to tell if you were dealing with a certifiable moron -- an actual medical term -- was by administering an intelligence questionnaire (an early version of the IQ test), which scientists believed could accurately assess a patient's "mental age." Unlike idiots and imbeciles (who were characterized by significant, obvious mental defects), morons, who were grown-ups who showed mental ages that were far below their physical maturity, might do well in school, they might hold down jobs, and they might even manage to raise children -- but all this was to be thought of as a ruse, because sooner or later, they'd go astray.
If you read on down at the link you will see that Hitler and the Nazis fully embraced American progressive eugenics To the point they murdered 12 million "inferior" people.
Eugenics basically is "Whatever kills you makes me stronger"
Some people claim that the holocaust is just a conspiracy theory.
Some conspiracies are planned. They often involved politicians being bribed in one way or another. As was the case with the robber barons. Who have nothing on our current germination of robber barons.
When you buy software from Microsoft. Microsoft still owns it Just like the French business girl walking down the street. She sells her product but still has it. Only she does not have an office, MS or otherwise.
Apple has a no customer repairs policy. The same with John Deere.
If their product happenes to break, you have to basically buy the product again. Same goes for pretty much all cloud Based applications.
My calls to MS customer support have generally gone something like this

These days the big tech companies seem to think they own your life and have a right to know everything you do with it.
Until COVID hit the world was advancing in elevating the poor. African actually has a been increasing its medical system for example. Plus we are the brink of going off planet for resources and manufacturing. IE the pie is about to get a lot bigger.
Though the head of Russia's rocket agency just claimed today that Venus was the property of Russia as it was the first to successfully land on that planet.
Maybe they will rename it "Crimea" and they will send little green men there, claim they are aliens, and hold a referendum on whether or not they want to be part of Russia.
