The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Klaus Schwab stepping down from the World Economic Forum indicates that the unelected global establishment has finally acknowledged its defeat. This is the end of their illegitimate and malicious technocratic top-down system that wanted obedience and social engineering.
Pro-establishment narrative
Globalists at the WEF have long been an easy scapegoat, stereotyped as supervillains in a narrative opposing freedom-loving Americans and wealthy elites, even as they have helped to transform the world for the better. The resignation of Schwab comes amid a vibe shift in favor of globalists and could be key to saving globalism from collapse.
