This appears to be drip feeding into our consciousness. Who or what is behind it and where will it lead us?
It's not a UK thing, either, bit like Build Back Better repeated in multiple countries word for word.

I think I need more information

BlackLetterDay · 12/10/2020 19:23

The only person iv heard going on about it is you Hmm

Missandra · 12/10/2020 19:24

I’ve never heard of this. You need to explain more.

hellisotherpeopleandhorlicks · 12/10/2020 19:26

I have no idea what you're talking about

User0ne · 12/10/2020 19:27

Another one wondering what "the great reset" is

HomeSliceKnowsBest · 12/10/2020 19:30

No idea either and I've read alot of conspiracy schizz. At a push I'd say you think society is being reset via Corona Virus by some form of elite agency?

malmi · 12/10/2020 19:31

Only one person drip feeding around here mate

Mimishimi · 12/10/2020 19:31

Haven't heard of this but if true is probably coming from the 'it's for your safety' crowd who knocked off millions last time.

ramblingsonthego · 12/10/2020 19:32

Ah this is the new world order and a one world government and how the World Economic Forum have planned this pandemic (or plandemic as the theorists call it) and now the UN are involved and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals they have this all planned to get the earth's population down to a billion people.

Its all tin foil hat bullshit.

Need to read it before I give my opinion.

The idea is that the whole world is in debt which has become unmanageable
So ‘they’ crash the economy- a side effect of the covid will do
And reset with some kind of crypto currency

Apparently

Find it impossible to believe that the Tories would get rid of the demographic that vote FOR them Hmm

ANoTail · 12/10/2020 19:41

Do the birds need rewiring? So soon?

3ormorecharacters · 12/10/2020 19:43

This isn't something I've heard of as such, but it seems obvious to me that global society has been long overdue some radical changes (growing inequality, climate change, technology replacing 'old' jobs etc) and the countries which take this situation as an opportunity for long term structural change will be the ones which come out strongest. I'm not necessarily wary of it, as long as it's the kind of 'reset' I want to see! (I.e. Green, fair - basically not Trumpy / Tory)

Treesofwood · 12/10/2020 19:43

Yes I thought it was a load of claptrap too. But then I heard it on an advert or two, and elsewhere as well. I will find some links.

What it really is: a conference and set of programs being held by the World Economic Forum about how to “save the world” from the catastrophic effects of climate change, man-made pollution, etc.

What the conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hat crowd think it is: who the fuck knows.

cabotstove · 12/10/2020 19:46

Is about killing off the older population as they have the "wealth" & are not generally working?

DeliciouslyFemale · 12/10/2020 19:46

Walks into thread, sets down catering sized roll of tinfoil, leaves quietly, before the conspiracy theorists turn up

cabotstove · 12/10/2020 19:46

Is it

cabotstove · 12/10/2020 19:49

Is it a shift to remote working?

RightYesButNo · 12/10/2020 19:50

@DeliciouslyFemale gives up and decides to leave quietly as well

FTMF30 · 12/10/2020 19:52

OP, you need to explain more. What are we resetting?
