Watching a series of European bureaucrats…pompous, arrogant, and extremely unattractive European bureaucrats…asserting the need for a global ‘great reset’, I was reminded of the above line from Bob Dylan’s song.
In America, too, of course, we have politicians and bureaucrats demanding a Great Reset. Â And Dylan’s song, of course, was directed at armaments manufacturers, not at world-resetting politicians and their operatives. Nevertheless, I think the phrase captures well the arrogance of those who believe they have the knowledge, insight, and authority to reorganize the lives of everyone on the planet. Â And in their view of things, there isn’t any ‘my world’ for the individual; there is no sphere of individual autonomy and agency which is not to be made available for their interference. Â It’s all their world.
In 1931, a book titled The Conscription of a People was published by Katherine, Duchess of Atholl. Â It was “a blistering, well-documented indictment of the savage collectivization of life in the Soviet Union.”
The title of the book provides a perfect description of the worldview of the Resetters. Â The entire population is to be drafted into an army, assigned to whatever battles and tasks their rulers..far beyond their ability to influence..think most fitting.
