To feel so scared.

[mymadpuppy]

As if life isn't hard enough, my DH is a bit of a conspiracy nut regarding covid. According to him the pandemic is nowhere near as bad as they make out, and it's all to do with agenda 30, depopulation and the great reset. To quote whoever said it "you'll have nothing and be happy". I know it's nonsense but it still scares me. He said we should prepare and that it's only the elite who will get by. We won't be allowed to own anything. Please reassure me and give me advice on how to respond. Surely the great reset doesn't mean anything too bad.

Tell him we all go out the world the same. And to keep away from the internet.

I thought the great reset was the opposite of that. The elite are already in charge, they have most of the resources and have been in power for forever.

It’s a virus, and it will get better. It will get milder, it will be scary for a long time, but it will get better and maybe we really need to own less stuff

I have no idea about any of this stuff. I always think conspiracy nuts have way too much time on their hands, though it is entertaining to read.

Idk, maybe your DH is looking for something that makes sense to him at time when nothing has made sense because everything has been out of control? I think I’m being nice. Tell him how his ramblings make you feel.

It’s a real concept by the WEF.

Whatever gets him through.

Fwiw, there isn’t a government in the world who wants to push their own country’s economy into turmoil like this. And let’s be honest, Boris just isn’t that bright.

Well - tell him to ask the victims of Covid if it's not a bad problem - then seek out the family of the deceased from Covid and ask them.

I think my advice on how to respond would be ‘can you please find someone else to discuss conspiracy theories with?’

If my dh thought this I'd presume he was mentally ill.

Back again so soon?

This is the thing, it IS a real concept with the WEF, and tbh it's quite worrying to read about. I suppose I just wanted someone to reassure me it's not as bad as it sounds?

What do you mean?

Am I missing something (probably)? That WEF article sounds reasonable

It's all bollocks. Tell him to stop reading red pill shit and listening to idiots.

And just because something is a thing, doesn't mean what the conspiracies say are true. E.g. paedophilia is a thing. Satanism is also a thing. Paedophile Satanists who run the democratic world and will be taken down by Donald Trump a la QAnon? Bollocks.

This is the thing, it IS a real concept with the WEF, and tbh it's quite worrying to read about. I suppose I just wanted someone to reassure me it's not as bad as it sounds?

The key word is "concept". It's to initiate discussions of how things might be in the future. It's not a policy of any government or party. Read the author's note:

"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."

Yes there is a plan to change the population of Europe. The people denying this are assisting. I'm originally from Denmark, it's openly discussed there without shooting people down as conspiracy theorists etc. It's actually very worrying and I fear what Europe will be like for future generations.

The WEF is just a talking shop. They don’t make policy.

It isn't as bad as it sounds.

It's some waffle from a company that runs a big conference (Davos). Like most businesses conferences, it exists to let people waffle on about a topic while simultaneously paying for the privilege of being there.

People attend primarily in the hope of meeting other people they consider to be important or people they can sell things to.

Everyone snoozes through the speeches. No one care about what is being said

If you looked up a conference about oil drilling technology or accounting software it would probably have some hyperbole about "changing the paradigm in which we operate" and "building a better future".

It's just waffle in the hope more people pay to attend their events.

The wef have said it's an opportunity to reset the economies to become more sustainable. It isn't a far left communist organisation preaching no ownership.

Op - there's more to the world than we are told, but most of it is just incompetence that someone wants to cover up.

life is generally hard and there's always something just round the corner waiting to upset everything - the thing is you just have to live as best you can in spite of it.

So do you have any links to share on the details of this plan. Not youtubes by osteopaths, but reputable sources?

Thank you for taking the time to respond this way. It helps a lot tbh.

I know it's nonsense but it still scares me.

How can you simultaneously know something to be nonsense, yet be scared by it?

Goodness I guess Brexit was a good thing after all.

I read that reset thing but it seemed to be mostly woke sounding waffle and talk of sustainability. I've never seen anything about everyone having all their property removed and becoming communists although it seems to keep being described that way on MN so maybe I'm missing something. Pretty sure someone put up something from the BBC debunking it all too.

Yes I couldn't see anything about removing property either.

Try not to worry, op. You know it's not real. Life comes with dangers all around but also joy and pleasure too. This will pass and hopefully your dh will soon forget all about this. I'm going through similar with a dear friend. She is intelligent and kind but has recently lost all sense of reality and refuses to wear masks, thinks its all to do with end times etc and believes every conspiracy theory going. I feel i have lost the friend I had. I think fear is making people react in different ways. Hang on in there.
