I agree with most of his points, accept that Russia is moving towards a CBDC as well. That creates a LARGE gray-area. I’m not sure what to make of that.
It could be that they [Russia/Putin] want greater control of their currency, or it could mean that they want greater control of their population. Seeing how nothing centralized is ever "for the common good" I would assume the latter.
I do agree that Russia putting forward a more traditional societal norm, is a huge appeal to the entire rest of the world. Woke isn't going over well -- really anywhere. At least not for real. Western media would have you believe that every other house on your street is full of trans activists, when that's obviously not the case.
That weird video with the “Putin Santa Claus” giving the kid toys that are proper for a boy was a serious thing. People might have made fun of it, but it was much more successful than most would assume. Honestly, how many people want their children to envision a rainbow clad unicorn Santa giving sex toys to their kids -- because if it were up to the Woke, that's what we would get.
Woke is the biggest thing working against The Great Reset. Yes, it's causing division amongst the people, but the vast majority of people reject Woke. The division (Woke is supposed to achieve) is not sufficient. What it has done is weaken leftist political capital, because people know which side is pushing Woke. Woke is obviously *not* organic, and the left have made it known that they are the progenitors of Woke. Because of this, more people are rejecting the left as a whole.
Everyone was worried about “Millennials” but it appears that Millennials have already rejected Woke for the most part. People are longing for the “good-ole days” when you didn’t have to worry about whether it was a dude or a chick.
Good reporting on Klaus and Todd's rebuttal but neither captures the elements which make the US the favorite global destination for capital. Being an observer for decades, no one has laid out the importance of the US Constitution's protections for free speech, individual property rights and protections to develop and benefit from one's innovations free from government confiscation.
Freedom of action in alignment with the Golden Rule is what dominates the US and what makes it the capital destination of the world. It is what is behind the US Dollar the value of which is renewed daily with every innovation that advances standard of living not enjoyed outside the US.
The US is a cultural island of free expression, innovation and entrepreneurial mindset. That is why the US Dollar maintains its strength in the mindsets of others and why it comes under attack. There are those who attack from within who miss this connection because they miss most of the basic social connections and rail how they are being cheated. Those 'who get it' communicate seamlessly with each other. Those who don't claim the rest of us are somehow using a secret language, a 'dog whistle' is their common expletive.
What we have, we should be better about defining it for what it is, a deep respect for others as equals regardless of origin. It is respect for another's effort and merit achievement which is without color, gender or social, political or educational position. That is the basis of the US Constitution with its nearly 250yrs of legal precedent.
"Being an observer for decades, no one has laid out the importance of the US Constitution's protections for free speech, individual property rights and protections to develop and benefit from one's innovations" The comment is absolutely great. Where do we go next, theoretically? I don't have the answer up my sleeve, but this is an excellent beginning: looking at what makes the U. S. system attractive to other persons in other countries who often come here to live and for their capital I guess as well. Don't many of those rich foreigners turn their backs a bit on their own country's people, though??? How do we underscore positive connections that exist, between the U. S. and the rest of the world? Vast number - in say Africa, Latin America, are unfortunately not seeing any of those benefits. You - the writer of this comment I am responding to - are talking about the seldom-discussed good things but not all those other persons who remain hidden.
Great appeal. We should take control at last. Do you know Iain McGilchrist, The Master and his Emissary (about the right and left brain hemispheres)? To me, all he says (find him on YT) is so very pertinent to our current situation.
"in the recent World Economic Forum meetings, where orchestrator, Klaus Schwab, incessantly emphasized the urgent need for 'Cooperation in a Fragmented World'." So. Let me say this. The only thing anyone needs to say, and say it to them, is this: "We don't believe in you!"
"we dont believe in you" -- or, your system! What we do believe in, persons like me, these are things that NOBODY on the Davos committee believes in. What we do believe in is something that eliminates the majority - not all but most - of the participants at WEF meetings. What is it that my sort of persons believe in? Whatever it is it is NOT what the participants at WEF meetings believe in. That stuff is ALL WRONG.
Globalists are distressed at "our world's dire fragmentation... " because one characteristic of globalism is that they need a unified world order. But that plan or the "globalization" theory, is not proving adequate. It does not regulate or restrain the profit-greed.
" “threatening” geopolitics is essentially a veiled reference to the Russia-China axis, (and/with) Iran as [well]." What is missing is any respect for another country's right to have their own system for their own country's needs. A perfectly defensible national right. There was some support for a system of progressive globalization. It never went anywhere. There was enthusiasm for globalization, but it lasted from 1999 to 2012 and then started to retract. Capitalists are not world-systems organizers. The whole thing has now collapsed and they need to be told that the world is in a place where it can only benefit from one thing: world economic reform that harms the profits of some corporations. If you cannot handle that, then you be taken out of any position where you can get your evil way!
“Or will we finally take control of shaping the world according to our own beliefs and ideas, discarding the influence of an insane, parasitic elite who has the audacity to wield power over our lives?”

We'll just have to see how this plays out.

Even as they realise they are making things only worse they revert to default setting of using their power to grab cash from governments.
“Or will we finally take control of shaping the world according to our own beliefs and ideas, discarding the influence of an insane, parasitic elite who has the audacity to wield power over our lives?”
Maybe. If we shake off the apathy.
Best news I've heard in two years!
