    Yes, from the WEF in particular. It’s such an inane idea that it drips with sarcasm even when sincere. They described a utility without any of the makings of a utility. I wish it hadn’t been adopted by right wingers and turned into a catchphrase.

      It’s also been adopted by left wingers into some kind of threat, when it wasn’t meant to serve that purpose either.

        Left wingers as in hexbear or left wingers as in progressive voters? I haven’t heard it from either, but I’m rarely around anyone but the latter.

          The kind of person who’s disillusioned with capitalism. Take that to mean whatever you like, but they’ll still use that quote in the wrong context.
