During circa 19th-20th centuries, the 'elite cabal' suffered a major setback due to the advent of collectivist ideologies, including socialism, communism, welfare state, trade unions, where the plebs realized and exercised its collective power, forcing the elites to give up much larger a piece of the pie they'd ever want. There were many issues within the socialist-capitalist dichotomy, embodied in the First and Second Worlds, but this is the big historical picture. The First World fought hard to bring its nemesis to its knees, which it finally did. In doing so, they managed to historically discredit collectivism, a perfectly valid concept per se, and atomize society. The masses, their collective power slowly taken away from them and voluntarily relinquished, have been subjected to impoverishment ever since the demise of the Second World.
What's next? Evidently, the elites intend to continue the process. The plan is to deprive the populace of private ownership, to subjugate them though medical totalitarianism, dependency of factory-made food, technocratic surveillance, the usual suspects. All this shit is being ushered in under the guise of a societal arrangement reminiscent of the heyday welfare state, where in fact the only thing that remains is the shiny shell, while the insides are full of putrid malevolence. The absolute vast majority of people have no clue, they cling to what things used to be 30-60 years ago, when the welfare state was relatively well functioning. It's difficult to educate them too, if somebody were inclined to, because of the abovementioned societal atomization and Dunning-Krueger effect resulting from a) general anti-intellectualism and b) hubristic conviction of possessing the truth among those who do have some intellectual capacity. Hence, unlike during the time when intellectuals educated workers about collectivism, if there's anybody is to oppose the neo-feudalism that's being introduced, it's simple people who live a simple life and have a direct connection to reality, as opposed to 'educated' (read: brainwashed) people who see the world through endless prisms implanted in their skulls by whisperers in the employ of the cabal.
This dovetails with the fact that the industrial era will from here on be declining, as the fossil fuels that drive it will be more and more depleted. The availability of stuff will be decreasing, a trend observable already now. Were consumption continue, well accelerate, at current rate, the world would run out of juice pretty quickly. Imaginably, the cabal is aware of the energy/resources predicament and plans to preserve as much as possible for themselves, and next to nothing for the rest. I'm not sure to what extent it's possible, because the technological luxuries we have depend on being produced at a certain scale, but the math would have to be done on that.
The 'as much as possible for themselves, and next to nothing for the rest' is nuanced in the sense that the vassals in the neo-feudalist worlds will be swept more crumbs from the table than the less fortunate slaves elsewhere in the world who'll have next to nothing, pretty much the way it's been.
Well-meaning people need to figure out a concept, ideology, world view that would allow people to retain freedom while pursuing a sustainable way of life, in harmony with nature and energy/resources available on an ongoing basis. Nothing like that in sight, certainly not in the occidental context. Would taking a page from the way North American Indians or other aboriginals somewhere out there live(d) work? Maybe.
Excellent discourse Paul and thank you for your succinct thoughts - I agree absolutely which is what my Part 2 book is all about - decentralisation. It's inevitable regardless of what the WEF/elites want. Their model is both impractical and impossiblem in so many ways.

"They examined the five basic factors that determine and, in their interactions, ultimately limit growth on this planet-population increase, agricultural production, nonrenewable resource depletion, industrial output, and pollution generation."

The problem is getting the mainstream the adopt change. For it's the majority that determines the overall course, and they're totally under the cabal's spell.
I'm not holding my breath that it will change, even though you never know, the Canadian Freedom Convoy and the German protests now - the two most unlikely nations to rebel - being a case in point. So, the judicious strategy is to be prepared, to have a variety of hills to run for ready.
The right thing would be to educate/convince the masses of the predicaments ahead, but you can't convince nobody of nothing. People have to figure it out on their own; otherwise they'll reject it. Here are some nice thoughts on that subject:
Thanks Paul - you have powerful friends. The Introduction to my Part 2 explains the difficulty of changing world maps in people if it means sacrificing a cosseted way of life. I suspect that 80% will buy into the Great Reset if bribed by UBI. UK is testing it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UChf8GlZXw
Hilarious! ROFL! The girl seems little more with it, but the guy is hallucinating! They're still talking money though. A pieces of paper or digital entries with no intrinsic value. If you substitute money with actual products or services, which is what they should do, where do they gonna get the worth thereof expressed in the value of UBI? Who's gonna provide the goods/services since everybody will be getting an equal share? You need an external input. The perpetuum mobile ain't work! Nothing can be more than 100% efficient even in theory. So, slaves in other parts of the world? Robots (who's gonna make the robots)?
There are delusional hallucinations of the most hilarious kind! Well, as the classic say, 'if you have to go, go with a smile.'
People are beginning to wake up to the 'globalists' game plan. As you intimate, empires always fail, so why did the following go to Davos?
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves, shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron and trade minister Lord Johnson! To get their orders from 'The Boss'?
Hurrah for Javier Milei, the new President of Argentina, and Kevin Roberts, President of the US conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation. As you wrote, they wont be invited back!
As Winston Churchill said in his first election broadcast on June 4, 1945:
….there can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with Totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State. …liberty, in all its forms is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of Socialism. …there is to be one State to which all are to be obedient in every act of their lives. This State is to be the arch-employer, the arch-planner, the arch-administrator and ruler, and the arch-caucus boss. ... no Socialist system can be established without a political police.
All agreed Greg - we are always on the same page but"so why did the following go to Davos?"
They're bought and paid for Greg - they don't care about the little people. Only 20 MPs out of 650 attended Andrew Bridgen's debate. They are all useless parasites feeding on the last rump of the British economy as Paul notes below.
Globalists' game plan ...
From where I'm standing, the plan is as follows.
During circa 19th-20th centuries, the 'elite cabal' suffered a major setback due to the advent of collectivist ideologies, including socialism, communism, welfare state, trade unions, where the plebs realized and exercised its collective power, forcing the elites to give up much larger a piece of the pie they'd ever want.

LOL Paul. "If you see a man without smile, give him one of yours. It's madness because when the gods wish to destroy their enemies they first send them mad. These arsholes claim to be gods and that's enough for them to be destroyed. https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/gods-rule-data-war-consult-vaxx-apathy?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
