The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting at Davos has long been a lightning rod for conspiracy theories.

Extremist figures such as Infowars host Alex Jones have reliably used the event to drive up fear and paranoia about sinister schemes the “globalists” are supposedly plotting. In the past, however, these farcical conspiracy theories have largely been confined to the fringe corners of the internet — places like Infowars. But in recent years, that has changed.

” In particular, Friedfeld pointed to “The Great Reset” conspiracy theories, noting that the term has “largely been divorced” at this point from its 2020 Covid origins and become “a broad brand for conspiracies” about how global elites are plotting to use the masses for their own benefits. Friedfeld said that, in particular, the use of the term “The Great Reset” by mainstream figures is cause for alarm because it can send people down a rabbit hole.

sophia_tulp The “ great reset” was first used by the WEF in 2020. Maybe you should talk to them if it is so upsetting to you rather than complaining about conservative media. What a pathetic article.

sophia_tulp 'You will own nothing and you will be happy.' - WEF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We all know what they do at these meetings.

They are evil unelected people. But then again CNN has bought their lies...or have paid not to notice.

This article sounds like somebody trying to tell me how and what to think. I can think for myself thank you!

A lot of conspiracy theories sure come to be some facts recently eh

You can google “world economic forum insects” and see the results… is this really a conspiracy theory? And if you’re including things that can be verified with a simple google search it’s probably going to have the opppssite effect of what cnn intended

Conspiracy theorists are 50 and 0 now.

Just noticing some of the weird stuff they’re saying on camera, actually.

'The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.' What other label than globalist should be used? Their stated aim is one world government

Some conspiracy theories are true. Happy to see WEF getting called out for what it is
