“You will own nothing. And you will be happy”

That’s a line from a piece of creative writing, not s conspiracy theory
A piece of creative writing presented at the WEF and baldly stating the goal of agenda 2030.
Can you please point me to the WEF stating it’s their goal? Like any line or paragraph of text which says that?
Everything I’ve read with the WEF taking about the United Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development is about very easy to agree on goals like ending poverty, hunger, giving access to health care and education, clean water and sanitation, affordable clean energy, decent work and economic growth, innovation industry and infrastructure, sustainability, responsible consumption, climate action, ecological protections, peace, justice, and equality.
They don’t seem to have any aim of ending personal or private property, rent seeking corporations like Adobe and BMW would love you to pay them endless and ever increasing subscriptions but that’s nothing to do with the WEF.
It’s not the goal of agenda 2030. You can read it online here:

There’s nothing nefarious about it. For some reason conspiracy loons have latched onto it and think it says things that it doesn’t say.
Then why is everything I own actually owned by a bank?
So you mean like you borrowed money to buy things and haven’t finished paying it back yet? If so then that’s your answer I guess.

You mean those holes that people dig to find minerals?
No, they mean when people just run a math problem with a 99% chance of nothing coming of it and no one caring so they can be paid by foreign investors the other 1% of the time.

Celestial Seasonings tea and Shen Yun both have ties to cults. With Celestial Seasonings the cult that founded it no longer own or profit off it thankfully, but their tea is shit so I still dont recommended buying it.

Oneida cutlery too. The cult died, the cutlery survived.
There is a huge amount of fake and bot accounts on social medias, probably as much as the population of many cities, made and used to manipulate the public opinion.
I wonder how many visits lemmy admins are seeing from Eglin AFB IPs.
Right
Correct
That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s been studied and shown true over and over.

Rarely I’ll get a feeling that someone is going to die. The feeling hasn’t been wrong yet. It’s not like within 5 minutes but like this person is going die this year. I’ve been wanting to call it confirmation bias but I’ve not gotten the feeling and has someone live for over a year.
How often did you get it?
Freak accidents? Or health?
It’s only happened twice so far. About once every ten years. Only 2 so far, both freak accidents. One died a few days after his wedding due to sleep apnea when he was 34. I started getting the feeling around the start of the year and he died at the start of July. The other one died when he was 41 and decided to try to jump from his second-story balcony while drunk, slipped, and landed on his head. I got the feeling probably around September 2020 He died in August 2021.
I will say I do get other feelings when something bad is happening. I went to a play when I was about 8 and felt a sense of doom the whole time. Came home to realize we’d be robbed, me specifically, by one of my friends. I specifically remember thinking “Something is going on at the house, it’s on fire or something.” They left everything else alone except my room. Again, a sense of doom when I got robbed again at daycare when a bunch of people stole a bunch of stuff from the classroom we were in.
So I had this sense of doom throughout my childhood when something serious was happening but I had not felt it in my adult life until the first death. I don’t think it’s supernatural or anything. Likely confirmation bias. I’ve never had a sense of doom without something bad happening but I have felt afraid in the moment. Perhaps your brain does something to your memories once you have moments of fear of something happening to have that thing happen. Kind of like underlining it. Some sort of survival instinct to listen to certain types of fear more.
So what was it like knowing Trevor Moore?
I drove by a house in my neighborhood. There was a pure white van, no windows, license was VAN 3. A man was walking towards the van dressed in white coveralls and gloves.
As I passed, I stared at him. He stared at me with cold murderers eyes. I’ve seen that look twice before and both guys turned out to be murderers.
Sounds like you passed a painter who works at a company with at least two other vans. I thought painters only wearing white was an old time movie thing, but the one we hired wore all white. His van AND trailer were white too. Normal eyes tho, didn’t murder us.
I saw something weird like that in Portland once…
This was almost 10 years back, but it’s still fairly vivid in my mind due to the apparent mysteriousness of the sighting.
It was a weekday morning, probably around 8, and I was driving home after my regular shift at the mortuary. There was a man walking on the sidewalk of a busy street in an upper-middle class neighborhood. He kinda stuck out because his outfit looked to be of high quality, expensive pieces, which kind of drew the eye, yet he also looked like a straight up Bond villain, with black pants, a black, leather, car coat type jacket, rolled-up stocking cap, and leather gloves, all topped off with Eastern European features on a serious looking face. He was also carrying full-size bolt cutters, which were tucked upwards under one arm, like he was trying to casually conceal them and hope no one noticed.
I obviously don’t know why he was carrying bolt cutters down the street like that, but I figured parking sucks in PDX, and maybe he got stuck with a shitty spot around the block from where he was either delivering a much-need tool to a friend in a pinch or doing a B&E while hunting Jason Bourne.
I only saw him for about 10 seconds as I slowly passed by while driving and, ever since, he pops back up in my mind from time to time and frustrates my thoughts with a lack of closure as to what he was actually getting up to that morning.Sounds like you have more stories to tell.
The MOVE bombing. The fact that the Philadelphia police dropped not one but TWO explosive devices on the roof of their house via helicopter is still nuts to me. What made it even worse was the fact that the fire department showed up and let it continue to burn, destroying 61 evacuated neighboring homes and leaving 250 people homeless.
Any time I tell someone about it that hasn’t heard the story, they’re skeptical.
Another one is the time I learned that I was under local surveillance for being an activist that was part of a local non-violent black liberation org. The police would send a unit weekly to check my whereabouts and movements. I learned through a friend of a friend that didn’t even know who I was, but knew my name and that I was on a surveillance list. Pretty sure they were checking in on everyone involved.
I just looked up MOVE after reading this comment. Amazing power dynamics (from wikipedia):
In 1978, a standoff resulted in the death of one police officer and injuries to 16 officers and firefighters, as well as members of the MOVE organization. Nine members were convicted of killing the officer and each received prison sentences of 30 to 100 years.[2] In 1985, another firefight ended when a police helicopter dropped two bombs onto the roof of the MOVE compound, a townhouse located at 6221 Osage Avenue.[3][4] The resulting fire killed six MOVE members and five of their children, and destroyed 65 houses in the neighborhood.[5]
The “city” was found to have used excessive force, and compensation in these cases comes from taxpayer money.
The fire department showed up and the move members started shooting at them, which is why the fire department moved back.
None of it would’ve taken place if the police weren’t so fucking stupid with their plan. I get why the fire dept. held back, but the police created that entire scenario.
Also, my statement isn’t wrong.
Police and MOVE were still exchanging gunfire, so the firefighters were ordered to back away.
Also, to add some intent, the police plan was to make a hole in the roof through which they could shoot year gas and force MOVE members to evacuate. Witnesses did see officers on the adjoining buildings ready to go. It was a stupid plan.
The conspiracy part comes in, though, because we really only have the word of the police on all of this, since all but two of the MOVE people died, and one was a child
Isn’t most tear gas flammable? What the fuck is wrong with our cops and why are they so stupid?
You said above “the fire department showed up and let it continue to burn” This is a completely inaccurate statement. The fire department was there from the beginning and were ordered to move back because of the gunfire. Your statement is saying that the fire department showed up at sometime during the event and just waited around and let it continue to burn, which is absolutely untrue .
He didn’t say that. It was a different person. Read the usernames.
It’s not inaccurate. That’s what happened because the police decided to corner MOVE members in their home and then fired at them as they tried to move outside. The goal from the start was to kill everyone there and in their rage, they devised easily one of the stupidest plans ever. The police forced people into a corner and they retaliated. The police also got hit with a lawsuit in federal court for use of excessive force and illegal search and seizure.
We can split hairs on phrasing, but the police are to blame for the entire thing and crafted a scenario where the fire department’s hands were tied.
The goal from the start was to kill everyone there

ITT: People who don’t understand the topic.
Yeah OP didn’t ask us “what’s the latest conspiracy theory you read about on Truth Social.”
I saw UFO’s. I don’t want to believe in aliens, but I witnessed it when I was with a pretty big group of friends and we all remember it and none of us have a better explanation. The people who saw it first were outside smoking pot, the rest of us didn’t believe them until we went outside and saw it ourselves. I was sober that night fwiw. We tried recording it but no one’s phone had good enough dark recording to pick up anything, and no one had a real camera on hand. The flight style didn’t match any craft any of us knew of - it was an array of lights that moved together, and then separated into smaller groups, and eventually individually. They moved unnaturally, with near-instant acceleration, deceleration, and extreme direction changes. It was too high up to be likely to be drones or helicopters, and right above a major Canadian city, not near any military base. If this was, like, Nevada or something, I would assume it was a government test craft. The closest match I’ve ever heard was in an interview with a pilot who saw UFO’s, and that scared the shit out of me. I’d love to find a non alien explanation, because I don’t want to believe and also I know it sounds crazy. Like, I myself probably wouldn’t believe someone else telling me this story.
The Green Party in my country is blocking the development of green alternatives to the industry that is one of the highest emitters of greenhouse gasses and various other pollutants (there’s a reason most of our rivers are no longer safe to swim in and the levels of certain cancer-causing compounds are 10-100x the EU safe limit in some areas’ water supplies), while private corporations and the main right-wing party are pushing for their legalisation.
A certain local indigenous group (which is technically a registered corporation) doesn’t really like people mentioning the fact that they’re currently driving an endangered native animal extinct by turning the only area they inhabit into dairy farms.
Also most of the politicians in this country are liars and/or sociopaths, but that kinda goes without saying lol
Might as well name your country?

Nah, New Zealand. Got plenty in common though - we still share a king and all that!
New Zealand!
🤣
who gives a shit? I’m not a pilot either.
I just kinda liked beehaw when I was first switching to lemmy - was one of the first few people to join the Te Wai Pounamu community when it initially got started a few months back though!
I’ve seen a UFO while I was truck driving. Most amazing thing I have seen to date.
Edit: On the night of the Dec 11th 2020 at 9:30ish I had stopped for the night to sleep whiledriving towards Colorado on I25 in New Mexico. I had stopped at a truck parking area maybe 10 miles away from Old Sunshine gas station and parking area. I was gazing at the stars and milkyway and enjoying the lack of light pollution when I witnessed it. Where the sky had previously been black and full of stars a blue light appeared for 10 or so seconds and then shot directly upward in an ice blue streak. At first I didn’t think anything of it until it moved incredibly fast straight up. It was instantaneous. I used to be ing the Air Force so I have seen all kinds of Arial vehicles. Never seen anything like this.
I couldn’t find a mile marker but the coordinates are “35.3965167, -105.4138241”.
Would you care to elaborate internet friend?
I added the event to my original post.
We all see unidentified objects all the time. Most of us don’t make a big deal about not being able to identify something though.
The CIA regularly intervenes in the reddit moderation process
Can you elaborate?
I was involved in the BLM protests of 2021. The cops were legitimately pulling people off the street into unmarked, black vans. Some of the people that were grabbed were not even involved in the protests, they were just outside past the citywide curfew.
I had heard about this happening in Oregon and Washington through the ever reliable internet, but I didn’t actually believe it until I saw it happen in my moderately sized Midwestern city.
And yet they let a bunch of reactionary fascists storm the capitol with minimal resistance.
Yeah, about that… let’s talk about a conspiracy theory. I remember reading, I think on Twitter, either just before, or maybe it was a retweet after the fact, someone local to DC saying that the security that had been established around town (or maybe around the capitol specifically) that day in preparation for the demonstrations was weaker than they had ever seen for any run of the mill event there. This would seem very strange because word was very much out that something was going to go down that day, so one would have expected a much higher level of security to have been established. Although I didn’t look very closely into what happened that day and the days surrounding it, it still seems strange that I’ve never heard this discussed since I read it.
I remember the livestreams. Did anyone ever find out what happened to those poor people?
They fucking shot people on their own porches. They fucking arrested a journalist just standing doing nothing live on the air.
The fact we all did not revolt and overthrow those assholes at that point is a moral failing on our part.

Media has been using nonviolence as a propaganda tool to quash rebellions and silence dissent in the U.S. for decades.
Think about it: almost every single story you ever see across all media that has the heroes using violence in a positive light, especially revenge content, will always portray that character’s actions as a negative even when objectively they are not. They always look to the same playbook of cliched arguments, one-liners, and tropes to do this. They are all oversimplified caricatures of or misrepresentations of nonviolence, violence, and revenge, justice, forgiveness, etc. A lot are just outright lies or ad-homs.
It’s even departmental policy in some companies to force writers to write their scripts in such a manner.
The only director I’ve ever seen rebel against it is Quentin Tarantino and I don’t think he has been doing it deliberately.
It’s definitely more complicated than this. A fundamental premise of enlightenment democracy is the establishment of a framework for the mediation of political power without the need for violence. So that ideal of nonviolence goes back much farther than both the US or the fourth estate, and it can be argued that it is actually a starting point for much of the modern world’s political philosophy.
But in general, it doesn’t take a ton of thought to imagine why cycles of political violence are unsustainable and unproductive. If violence becomes a primary form of political expression, then you will simply have every different group trying their hand. This is why we prescribe the state with a monopoly on violence - a principle even older than democracy.
That isn’t to say that violence is never just. Ironically, contemporary existentialism tackles this issue pretty nicely by establishing some imperatives which revolve around the relationship between oppressor and oppressed. Primary among them is the acknowledgement that the most sustainable and desirable form of change is done through conversation with the oppressor (as in liberal democracy), and that anyone who rejects this imperative acts in bad faith, just as the oppressor does when they refuse to treat.
Simply put, to engage in violence is to ordain yourself the oppressor, and understanding the heavy implications of this action is critical to just violence. De Beauvoir argues that idealism is therefore one critical aspect of justice in all forms, as it seeks, by nature, to preserve transcendent humanity in others. And this is the ambiguity of the freedom fighter - the classic dialectical struggle will always reduce itself to mystification because ideals are not fixed like the flesh, against which violence acts. Therefore, while violence can be just, it cannot be justice, because it does not directly serve any ideal. As such, our morality must be “opposed to the totalitarian doctrines which raise up beyond man the mirage of Mankind” and “freedom can only be achieved through the freedom of others.”
I’m talking specifically about modern media which is very plainly obviously propaganizing itself with the agenda I laid down. It’s so obvious it’s hard not to notice. Older media wasn’t like that; there were anti-revenge stories back in the day but most were neutral or pro, and that only changed in like the mid 20th century when, for whatever dumbass reason, Hollywood and U.S. media in general decided to do this.
You don’t even usually see it in other countries, though there are outliers like Hayao Miyazaki though that’s easily chalked up to WW2 and how that war completely ratfucked Japan (and given what their government did, was well-deserved and a minority of their people like him knew it …)
Simply put, to engage in violence is to ordain yourself the oppressor,
Oh, I get it. You’re just one of those types out here defending it. 😕
No, I’m literally quoting a very well known, in depth discussion of the issue from Ethics of Ambiguity
Actually no, what you’re doing is taking a specific claim about Hollywood exploiting nonviolence and using it as propaganda, to proselytize nonviolence itself.
If what I am saying isn’t true, why would you feel the need to do that?
The media is very much establishment. So, even liberal media is old and establishment liberal. Old and establishment liberal are the kinds of people who tend to trade power with the old and established conservatives. (Or, at least they did until the establishment conservatives went nuts and went Tea Party then Trump.)
If you can expect to regularly get power every few years, there’s no reason to take radical action.
As for Hollywood, it’s even more conservative than most media. They want to make movies that appeal to audiences worldwide. They don’t want to challenge their audiences, or offend them. They just want their money.
🤔🤔🤔
There has to be something we can do. What they did prevented Americans from overthrowing their government when they should have, leading to tyranny and the destabilization of the U.S. Perhaps if we created new franchises that opposed and refuted their paradigm, we could help our people move on from their awful garbage.
DRS GME. Otherwise roll over and lick some boots.
I need to buy back in at some point, that reminds me.
