I don't understand how this thread and comment about WEF turned into name calling between you two, but I'd like to address this:

> Because when you look at NGO that openly works to support young people and is openly proud when young people succeed you see conspiracy.

They don't care about young people and their success. They influence impressionable people and having them owe them favours. Young, politically passionate and famous people fit that bill nicely. All they care about is lining their pockets, at the end of the day. They're a bit like modern Mafia. Mafia used to threaten people physically, and these people hang the looming threat of getting cancelled.

WEF is a lobbying group. And everyone knows (sans those in lobbyists circles) lobbying is just corrupt. A pig with lipstick is still a pig, and all that.

If you look at the videos posted, they either circle jerk about how great they are and set vague and forgettable goals about the "greater good".

Look, I like your version much more, but it's naïve to ignore human nature. They're using people's good faith like yours to spread their bullshit gospel.

A comment here linked a wikipedia link to the WEF; I recommend reading it in full before forming your opinions.
