Have a conversation about ESG

One practical thing we can all do to fight the Great Reset is spread awareness about the WEF's trojan horse for neo-Marxism – Environment Social and Governance

This week you have a homework assignment. Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you to go out and start a fight with a total stranger, like Tyler Durden, although I cannot guarantee that what I’m going to ask you to do won’t result in a fight!

Regular readers will know that I oscillate between back-pilled fatalism on the one hand, and on the other, positing ways in which we can fight back against the machinations of the World Economic Forum, seeking to enslave us by way of the Great Reset which will be affected through the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030.

I’m trying to stay focused on the latter.

The coming storm

History shows us that tyranny inevitably implodes and the human spirit triumphs. Thus, we will find a way through this latest bout of totalitarianism, but it will get rough in the interim.

I see no evidence of any course correction from our ruling elite, only doubling down and entrenchment. It can only be a matter of years or months until the next ‘crisis’, most likely financial in nature, the beginnings of which we can already see, and the solution to which will likely be CBDCs (central bank digital currency – programmable digital money controlled by the government), followed by another pandemic type event through which the digital ID infrastructure set up to enable CBDCs will be used to facilitate a hardline ‘public health’ dictatorship.

It is difficult to tell exactly what role the rapidly accelerating evolution of AI will play in all this. I don’t think it will be a positive one, but assuming we can find a way of mitigating its power and misuse, the problem that remains is a relatively simple one: the age-old struggle of the people against those who seek to oppress them.

The answer? Knowledge. Awareness.

Once enough people see what’s going on then the game is up. Unfortunately, most still have faith in the system, believe what they’re told by the corporate media, and see our governments as legitimate. This ends the moment a plurality of people refuse to play ball.

What would happen, for instance, if you and I stopped paying our taxes tomorrow? We’d be crushed by the state.

But what would happen if millions stopped paying? The system would fall.

And if the system is about to fall anyway – being deliberately managed into calamity so that the elites can profit from the chaos – then why not seize the initiative?

I understand if my ideas are too revolutionary for you. I myself was opposed to the notion of radical change for most of my adult life. And to a certain extent I still am. I do believe we still have a chance at reforming the system back to something resembling the world most of us grew up in – one of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and sensible regulation designed to reward and protect the productive working classes, rather than ideological hogwash that divides and neuters people, and benefits only the super-rich and those with their hands on the levers of power.

Understanding the ESG problem

If we are to reform things then we must begin with ESG

Environment, Social and Governance is a corporate credit score system devised at the WEF and UN that rewards companies for prioritising wokeness. It is enforced by BlackRock and other asset management firms by withholding investment capital from businesses that don’t meet all the right criteria: carbon offsetting, hiring of minorities, ensuring equal gender balances on boards of directors, etc.

Such metrics have zero correlation with profitability, yet they are enforced at the highest levels of global finance and government in blatant violation of fiduciary responsibility, and the effects of this dogmatic zealotry trickle all the way down to the lowliest consumer. As I said in my previous discussion of ESG, this cancer is in everything now, and it not only threatens to consume our economic system by replacing meritocracy and free exchange with neo-Marxism, but it lays the groundwork for totalitarian world government.

If you’re not up to speed on ESG yet, check out my previous two articles on the subject, Get Your Retirement Money Out of The System and Get Woke Go Broke. You should also pay attention to what Vivek Ramaswamy has to say on the matter (I clipped two short but insightful segments on ESG from his recent appearance on Timcast IRL here and here), and I recommend getting a copy of his book Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam. If you fancy a deep dive into the subject, you cannot do better than James Lindsay’s lecture series on The Marxist Roots of DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion, which are the functional tendrils of ESG) episodes 1, 2, 3, also available on Spotify and other podcast platforms.

ESG underpins every abuse perpetrated on the free peoples of the West in the name of sustainability, diversity and tolerance. If you’ve been the victim of racism at work through the application of the concept of ‘white privilege’ by way of a cultural sensitivity workshop – that’s down to ESG. If you didn’t get a pay rise because your employer is spending millions instead on carbon credits to offset its supposed contribution to the imminent end of the world – that’s down to ESG. If you’ve felt violated at having to hear about the sex lives and fetishes of LGBTQIA+ people in your office through ‘educational’ HR modules, that’s down to ESG.

And the list goes on.

But it doesn’t end there. ESG also enables more pernicious abuses that ostensibly have nothing to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Consider this:

During the ‘pandemic’, vaccine mandates were enforced largely, not by governments, but by the private sector. Take your average publicly traded corporation – it might even be one that you work for – we’ll call it A Company that Might Exist (ACME). Chances are BlackRock has a significant ownership stake in ACME. Along comes the big scary Covid virus, but hey presto! Pfizer has a vaccine! BlackRock also owns 8% of Pfizer. So, the more Pfizer jabs get into the arms of ACME employees, the better it is for BlackRock.

Okay, but what’s all that got to do with ESG you might ask. Well, you know that ‘G’ in the acronym? It stands for corporate governance… you know, things like how well a company ensures the ‘health’ and ‘wellbeing’ of its employees by providing things like free vaccines, or indeed enforcing them during a ‘global public health crisis’.

It’s nothing so cartoonish as some shadowy figure from BlackRock showing up at ACME and saying “Listen here, to safeguard our other investments you need to mandate the Covid jab for all your workforce, and you will comply or we’ll crush you.” It’s just that ACME’s directors know that if they fail to meet the criteria for good corporate governance as part of their ESG commitment then they won’t get anymore of that good BlackRock money and whoops! – ACME’s share price goes down the toilet.

This then has a chilling effect on entire sectors and trickles down to smaller businesses also who fear ostracization and cancellation of contracts unless they too fall in line.

So, you see, it’s quite possible that if you or someone you love were forced to take the Covid jab by your employer, or God forbid, injured, or killed by it – then this is likely a result of ESG.

Your homework assignment

Okay are you sufficiently pissed off?

Good. Now go out and have at least one conversation with someone about ESG this week. Pick someone who probably has no clue about this stuff (that part is not hard, most people don’t). Pick someone you know and care about, not just some rando on the street. Make sure it’s not someone who could make life tough for you if they happen to have a violent reaction to your crazy conspiracy theories (your boss for instance is probably not the place to start). Most importantly, pick someone who is likely to be receptive – someone smart who you think might be persuaded to take a look behind the curtain, and then, hopefully, spread the word further.

Brush up on the ins and outs of ESG if you need to (the resources I linked above are a good place to start), and when you do have the conversation, keep it light and casual. Don’t unleash a barrage of invective against BlackRock and the WEF and start ranting about Marxism or anything like that. Just ask a simple question like “Did you know that your retirement fund actively allocates your money to companies that prioritise woke ideology over profit?” (Again, this is not a stretch, because virtually all retirement funds do this).

Don’t feel like you’ve failed or wasted your time if the person is unreceptive. The natural response to such information is to reject it out of hand, because it challenges structures that people have been taught to trust and revere. What’s important is planting the seed. This way, the next time they hear about ESG, they’re more likely to be curious, and explore further, because they’ve already been primed for the topic by someone they trust and respect.

If you don’t feel ready to have one of these conversations that’s cool. But I encourage you to read up further on the subject so that you can begin to wake others up. Get excited about it! Because this ESG thing is real and manifestly observable, and it affects all of us. Most importantly though, it is a variable that we, the workers and consumers, have the power shift.

ESG is a blight on our economy, or culture, and our very lives. It is all around us and most people are unaware of its existence, despite the fact that their retirement savings are being used to bankroll it.

ESG is the principal tool of those who seek to transform society into a neo-Marxist technocracy, but it is also their Achilles heel, because it depends on our buy-in. Whether that buy-in is informed, passive, or inadvertent – without it, ESG dies a swift and laughable death.

Thus let us spread awareness of this nefarious matrix of ideological control. Let us enlighten as many of our friends, family, and colleagues as we can – and in this way perhaps we can reform the system before it’s too late, before reaching the point of no return and thus necessitating an actual revolution.
