Great Reset

Why is it fascist? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite of it. Instead of focusing on ROI only companies also voluntarily take into account the morality of their investments?

 

Why would anyone force people to eat bugs instead of meat? It doesn't sound like a healthy life choice to me.

 

Because government has exercised the power. Hello!

 

So many reasons, including those listed below by Zorro. I would add:
1) Increase profits. Collecting bugs sounds less taxing than caring for animals to cultivate. As farming centralizes, only some people will benefit from these profits.
2) Hubris. Further separation of the classes. Rules for thee but not for me. While you eat bugs, the wealthiest among us will continue to dine in splendor, reveling in their superior status.

If they are that worried about too much CO2, and they are not, they would be planting stuff. Work with civil engineers to build canals and water mains to bring water to the world's deserts. Use tech from Israel and MIT to use salt water to grow plants. Or desalinate that sea water in ways that could even produce electricity. Instead we've so damaged the modern world that Europeans are CUTTING DOWN forests for use to stave off freezing to death this Winter in the most inefficient manner: burning wood.

 

Looks to me like they are trying to reset us back to the Great Depression.

 

It's not. Humans can eat bugs, when they are desperate. Some of these leftwing extremists don't want to just impose pre-industrial on us, they want pre-agrarian.

They are free to hold those beliefs,
They are free to voice those beliefs,
They are not free to imposed them on others.

 

Yep. And they just can't wait to show everyone how poor their critical thinking skills are. Practically falling over themselves to do it.

 

But is it even true? Maybe it's just an urban legend and you guys make big fuss about nothing.

 

It isn't voluntary for the employees, and it is a further blurring of the lines between government and corporations - which is by definition corporatism, i.e. fascism.

An argument could be made that it is almost identical to the arrangement that corporations have with the government of China.

All corporations and citizens that operate in China are an extension of the murderous, authoritarian Chinese government. You are a part of that equation as you see nothing wrong with corporations exploiting cheap labor overseas at the expense of our manufacturing base and standard of living here, and the exploitation of Chinese and Africans that are the modern day equivalent of slave labor.

Whenever you use your iPhone, or buy baubles and plastic junk at Walmart, you are in bed with that exploitation.

Now the Establishment elites want to codify those immoral, exploitative practices more formally here in the United States under the guise of (E)nvironmental and (S)ocial "responsibility", and you are so uninformed that you not only see nothing wrong with it, you actually use the word "morality" in of approving it.

ESG stands for Environmental Social Governance.

It is a further entanglement of government and the corporate world that is intended to enslave everyone in our society. It is so close in character to Nazi Germany that what is happening here today is indistinguishable from what happened in Germany in the 1930's.

Get your head out of the sand.

 

ESG is the environmental, social, and governance standards by which investors judge a firm’s social and environmental conscientiousness.

ESG is often incorporated into a business’s risk mitigation, compliance, and investment strategies and includes a wide array of measurements and best practices. ESG is the term most often used by investors, but public-facing documents usually refer to these practices as sustainability.

There is a slight difference between the two. Sustainability language usually emerges from a business’s marketing arm, and many enterprises will have a sustainability report directed towards a consumer audience rather than investors.

The central idea behind both however is that organizations should be concerned with long-term sustainability—of their business, the people in their sphere of influence, and the planet. Public concern about corporate trustworthiness and environmental impact has been escalating for decades, but accounting for it has become a strategic imperative for organizations in the last five years.
