Or...to be succinct--you're wrong~
There is that, ya know.
I tend to believe that, in this country, the bulk of resistance to the WEF is rooted in American Exceptionalism---and resistance to Global solutions to Global issues..that may NOT wholly benefit the USA. In much of the world...things can only get better. From their perspective, America is fat, and needs trimming. Of course, if you're American, you might not be in favor, I get that.
No, I do not believe that the 'Global elites' have had their collective hands on the steering wheel..for decades, if not centuries. I do believe that they'd like to think so. But too often, shit happens that takes everyone by surprise..and the WEC..like everyone else, finds itself reactive...not proactive.
Regardless, this thread was about the conflation of Conspiracy Theories and the WEC--you are, in fact, the only one who actually addressed that--kudos~
Like it..or not. Power calls to power--and these folks have power...you no like? Me either--but the system we live under makes something like the WEC inevitable.
Do they care about the opinions of the masses? They do not.
Indeed, why should they?
