"The Great Reset" is just "Year Zero" repackaged -- and people like Klaus Schwab have to know exactly this. After all, they lived through these times and many others that were similar.

So why, all of the sudden, do they think it will work when they are the ones pulling the strings?

Here's my answer: They don't -- they just do it for the destruction they know will ensue as an offering up to the god of this world, believing that he will give them a seat at the table in hell. Unfortunately, their god doesn't rule hell -- he's just punished there -- so the joke will be on them in the end.
