I saw chuds talking about it but i have no idea, some IMF shit or just a conspiracy?
Anyway I'm very dumb so explain it simply cheers
Listen to the latest TrueAnon episode about. It sounds like it is more or less a propaganda campaign to prepare people for the huge changes that are coming as capital tries to use new technology to keep itself afloat despite the falling rate of profit. This involves automating most jobs and gig-ifying the rest, turning what we think of now as personal belongings into a new form of private property to be rented (the infamous "you will own nothing and be happy" phrase comes from here"), creating a massive index of every living thing and resource on the planet (including humans) to be able to create new kinds of assets to artificially keep profits up, etc. The job of the "great reset" is to frame this as a good thing and get some of the apprehension and outrage from people out of the way before it starts to get implemented.
we’d all just get used to it
Ambiguous grammar means I could (and will) interpret this as a claim that you personally witnessed the economic instability of 238 AD
I don't give a shit, just someone kill every single member of the IMF asap, please
creating a massive index of every living thing and resource on the planet (including humans) to be able to create new kinds of assets to artificially keep profits up, etc.
If you're familiar with environmental economics, this is almost certainly a key feature of the "green capitalist" answer to climate change: in order for capitalists to measure the worth of the natural resources and ecosystem services lying at the foundation of the global economy, they have to privatize and commodify every living necessity in order to price in what were previously positive and negative externalities. The good news is this means fossil fuels become prohibitively expensive and we might get some shitty capitalist version of the green new deal; the bad news is it also means all potable water, breathable air, and fertile soil - alongside every other living necessity - will be privatized. Meat (beef especially) will become prohibitively expensive according to the resource inputs required to raise livestock for slaughter - which wouldn't be a problem except rich people will probably just eat more of it than they did before and tell the working class to start eating bugs instead of freeing up land to grow more plant-based proteins.
The capitalist (mis)interpretation of the "tragedy of the commons" is that private ownership of the commons is necessary to avert that tragedy - this solution also conveniently prevents the world rate of profit from collapsing to zero within our lifetimes because commodifying what's left of the commons means expanding markets into unexploited virgin territory. In order to accept Pigovian taxation on corporate carbon emissions, the ruling class will compel all workers to pay a corresponding tax for exhaling carbon dioxide. Forced sterilization or other penalties for having more than one or two children are plausible (imagine the PRC's one-child policy, but much much worse and a thousand percent more racist because capitalist states always manage to do worse versions the most dystopian aspects of China) - the one upside here is we might actually get accessible birth control and abortions everywhere.
It's an initiative by the world economic forum.

I like how they throw "one billion people will be displaced by climate change" in there like it's nbd, just a little flavor text on our way to Mars
This looks like mild socdem reforms except for the "you'll own nothing and be happy" and "if you want something you have to rent it" shit
some schizo conspiracy theory that inflates some idiotic neoliberal project that will never happen up to the level of a global conspiracy
It's the only solution or a ticket to eternal hellworld.
Like, a world mediated by a unhackable unassailable communist algorithm would be fine. Nobody allowed earn more than $X per year, algorithmically-controlled lifestyle equality globally etc.
It would end up like Elysium though.
