For all the reasons that the WTO sucks, the WEF sucks even
more: it's a snobby, elitist party of wankers. And, since
Davos is just a little city, they also feel quite free to
squelch the possibility of dissent.
Remember, kids: only totally self-involved wankers are
comfortable going to a "conference" of self-styled elites
without feeling really creepy.
Some recent notes about Davos have been, in my opinion, all
any self and other-respecting human being needs to know about
Davos:
-
someone gloats because the recent political turbulence in
Cote D'Ivoire means 'more hotel rooms' are available;
-
someone else gloats because Davos's remoteness makes
dissent and direct action nearly impossible;
-
more totally ignorant gloating that somehow, because little
peckerhead members of the 'global elite' and the big
jackass members all get to address the attendees, Davos is
egalitarian.
It takes a sicktwist to rejoice at the suffering of others for
hotel accomodations; but in what fevered brain does 'every
member of the elite gets to speak' become
egalitarianism?
For more of this nonsense, see Davos Newbies, a
self-congratulatory nest of Davos wankerdom.
