If you aren't well disposed to accept a bit of ownership for the things you don't like in life then finding someone else to blame is a comfort.

Step forward The Great Reset. Like I have said before there is a simple formula. The Great Reset = Every bad thing in the future that might happen and Everything bad thing in the future that might happen = The Great Reset.

Like you, I don't think the gifted and talented on here have a scooby about what might befall us, good or bad. I do think though that wishing things bad to happen because you would rather claim to be right and justified regardless of whether that had anything to do with your clairvoyance isn't a great advert for mental health!
Some find it reassuring to think that there are 'dark forces' that control everything, and if they can be overcome once and for all then we'll all be ok, rather than the people in charge not really knowing what they're doing and cocking up constantly. It's nicer to think that everything is planned out, even if it's by someone evil, and not just an endless blundering shitshow.
