The UN is toothless as ever, but it’s seen as a symbol by and of the global elite. They recently deleted an article heralding the economic “Benefits Of World Hunger” from their website in response to public disbelief. (The text in question must be read to be appreciated.)
The official excuse is that it was overdone satire.
Was it? I don’t know. And is mainstream economic theory quite so abysmal? I’m such a cynic, I can’t judge.
But what is clear is that the viral outrage was not sincere hurt due to insensitive if-clearly-satirical sentiments. No! Tired umbrage was taken at an article read simply and literally, at an article which let the elite’s true feelings be known.
So, I regard this episode as yet another sign of global “loss of faith” in the current establishment and an indication these unnatural elites are on their way out (to be replaced by… who knows exactly?).
