Not saying I believe it, but the New World Order and WEF thing is somewhat compelling.

Yeah, it's tempting. Sure would be nice if things were that simple. As soon as you start actually trying to poke holes in it, it all falls apart pretty quick though.

The populists are a good example. If media and tech wasn't after their own profit margins first and foremost and was instead trying to maintain control of the world, then just don't cover them. Total media blackout. Nobody would hear much about them, they wouldn't be able to amass huge fanbases, they would never succeed.

But since covering them is very profitable clickbait, the media does so, and they can take power. Would make no sense if your goal was to actually hang onto power. You won't find Putin giving tons of free airtime to any of his rivals, it just doesn't make any sense.

The idea is to get control, did you even watch the video? If they were already in total control it would be the world order, not a New one ffs

Yes, that's always the story. "Get control", for ages now. The fact they're so incompetent that they cannot finish the job despite supposedly overwhelming resources and plenty of time is a strong sign its a bunch of bs.
