What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you? (feddit.de)

That's a line from a piece of creative writing, not s conspiracy theory

A piece of creative writing presented at the WEF and baldly stating the goal of agenda 2030.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

It's not the goal of agenda 2030. You can read it online here:

https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda

There's nothing nefarious about it. For some reason conspiracy loons have latched onto it and think it says things that it doesn't say.

Can you please point me to the WEF stating it's their goal? Like any line or paragraph of text which says that?

Everything I've read with the WEF taking about the United Nations 2030 agenda for sustainable development is about very easy to agree on goals like ending poverty, hunger, giving access to health care and education, clean water and sanitation, affordable clean energy, decent work and economic growth, innovation industry and infrastructure, sustainability, responsible consumption, climate action, ecological protections, peace, justice, and equality.

They don't seem to have any aim of ending personal or private property, rent seeking corporations like Adobe and BMW would love you to pay them endless and ever increasing subscriptions but that's nothing to do with the WEF.

Then why is everything I own actually owned by a bank?

So you mean like you borrowed money to buy things and haven't finished paying it back yet? If so then that's your answer I guess.
