Remember the WEF article about how by 2030 we will own nothing and have no privacy? A common bit of source material for "great reset" hysteria? Here's the article:

Here's the closing quote from the article:
>Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development. When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.
So this "article", or more accurately, blog post think piece, was literally just a way to generate discussion about certain technological advances. It wasn't the WEF laying down their future plans, it was literally one Danish politician spitballing about what the future might look like, and inviting us to consider whether that future is good or not.
No conspiracy, no WEF mission statement, just a blog post. Just "Here's some shit that is happening, do you think it's good or bad"?

How does that get weaponised into great reset hysteria? Who is lying to you? Who is blowing up that absolute nothing in an attempt to make you scared? What else are they lying about?
