World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab steps back from executive post

He needs a better photo.

I think the timing of the retirement is interesting, though Schwab is 86. His Wiki page notes:

In June 2021, Schwab sharply criticised the "profiteering", "complacency" and "lack of commitment" of the municipality of Davos in relation to the WEF annual meeting. He mentioned that the preparation of the COVID-related meeting in Singapore in 2021/2022 had created an alternative to its Swiss host and sees the chance that the annual meeting will stay in Davos at between 40 and 70 per cent.

Profiteering? šŸ¤”

Romeo vs Juliet slander

Is this meant to be a retelling of Romeo and Juliet that takes place in the 20's or something? The idea being that a black woman and a white man would be from "Two warring families" in that period?

Seems really on the nose to insert that. It's a classic and it's generally frowned upon to modify Shakespeare in any way. It's also pretty banal... Yeah, I get it, you're obsessed with black people. At least if it had been a Feudal Japanese Samurai and a Christian, or a Hundred Years War French and English person it would have been an original(ish, for the modern era) take on the idea of people in a feud who fall in love.

Disgusting, obviously... But I do have to laugh at the people who see an injured man flop from a crashed car and think: "We have to help him! Quick, grab him by the legs and drag him around the place. That should neatly snap back into place any shifted vertebrae!"

Yeah, he was especially good at reaching out to gay teens and giving them actual advice and not just telling that theyā€™re fierce. He was always realistic, I recall numerous times him telling a teen who had written in or called that whilst they were under-18/living with their parents/at college funded by parents, if their parents were anti-gay, just tone that shit down until you can get out on your own. Also, telling them to give their parents a chance and time to get used to things.

His ā€œit gets betterā€ campaign to cut teen gay suicide was rather clever and I believe even the Obamas did a video for it.

I had time for him. But the selling out really made me feel that he could no longer be trusted to be unfiltered (he was always giving harsh truths, especially about some of the deranged kinks and practices some people were doing) but if he was going to pass everything through a woke filter then he was no different than every other progressive outlet.

I kinda agree, it does seem like a half-ass solution, at least as far as explained here. But I'm not sure I agree people who download pictures are "true criminals". I think the true criminals are the people who made them (assuming they weren't self-made). If the goal is to focus more on CP producers and less on people who just have the pictures, that would certainly be a good thing in my opinion. But on the other hand, I'm aware of the practical justification for possession being illegal, which is primarily to destroy the market for commercial production. I suppose there's some doubt about whether a misdemeanor still adequately accomplishes that goal.

This is what ā€œtoleranceā€ has wrought.

Theyā€™re going to legalize kid fucking. Itā€™s only a matter of time.

You know why this is true? Because members of a ā€œpro pedo activist groupā€, who surely have names and addresses, feel safe operating in the open. Which means they are a protected class. And all western governments exist do the bidding of protected classes.

Letā€™s see how long that lasts.

This is insane. Theyā€™re going into schools to troon out kids. This is literally the type of shit we were all told would never happen and that we were being paranoid for even suggesting that the whole endgame was going after kids.

Then again, whatā€™s to stop them? In saner times, people who talked about doing shit to kids were dragged off in cuffs or taken for a car ride somewhere and were never seen again.

Now they operate in the open and cry about being afraid if you merely criticize them.

reminds me of the "gentle suggestion" I saw on here that friends go to a cafe or somewhere before meeting a TQ friend and practice using their new pronouns; and that's on top of the "you shouldn't act like you want a PRIZE for just doing the bare minimum!" ingratitude and the "I don't want overt compliance, I want you to want to think of me this way" ego-tripping

I generally agree. His entire brand was about not giving a shit and trolling people who were irrational about gay shit. But also his entire brand only exists if he can avoid being cancelled. His type of personality is why i found gay men to be more entertaining in the past. There was a very strong "fuck your feelings I'm not hurting you by existing" vibe back then.

He's not wrong though.

At least at some level, the access to firearms and ammunition - and a vehicle, and a vehicle license, are things that he got from his parents.

But really, for the same reasons that legislature and executive offices and the judges and attorneys should be in prison.

The quality never dropped, he was/is phenomenally entertaining, but he was definitely on the sex positive/donā€™t kink shame side but I felt when he got called out for his use of the word tranny (he used it a lot in his podcast iircā€¦and he only ever used to refer to transvestites never transgenders) that he had caved and couldnā€™t continue listening to him. Iā€™d lost respect for him as he had never given a fuck about anyone complaining before. I canā€™t tolerate sell outs.

He was never what I would consider woke, he was tolerable progressive, who seemed to just genuinely want people to be happier in their sex lives (and some hard truths too).

That part isn't clear according to the article. It seems like everyone gets swept up into the same law in Germany. It's like the "zero tolerance" policies everyone complains about in the US where administration and law enforcement ignore context because they don't want to deal with fallout from making any actual decisions.
