This cannot go on the main page giving any kind of credence to the theory, which all the sources call "baseless". So I am adding that word to the hook:
ALT0a: ... that a baseless conspiracy theory claims that The Great Reset will be used to bring in a New World Order? Yoninah (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency WAR COMMUNISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By ANDREAS MALM

ISBN 9781839762154

"In Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, leading environmental thinker, Andreas Malm demands that this war-footing state should be applied on a permanent basis to the ongoing climate front line. He offers proposals on how the climate movement should use this present emergency to make that case. There can be no excuse for inaction any longer."

Here's a book from a major publishing house which is germane to the topic. Not sure how editors would like to spin this. Thanks.

What gibberirsh is this?

From, of course, the tinfoil-hat conspiracy section, it begins with this fine sentence of mutliated English:

The term "Great Reset", also known as the "Liberal World Order" or "Global Liberal Order", can also refer to a conspiracy theory called by the same name.

What the hoot does that actually mean? 146.90.208.196 (talk) 09:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add A Fact: "Poilievre promotes debunked WEF claims"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been hitting the summer barbecue circuit with ramped-up rhetoric around debunked claims that the World Economic Forum is attempting to impose its agenda on sovereign governments.

The fact comes from the following source:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-world-economic-forum-rhetoric-1.6935294

Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:
