This theory claims that an elite group used COVID-19 as part of a plan to control the world.
In reality, the Great Reset is a 2020 initiative by the World Economic Forum, aimed at using the COVID-19 crisis to promote more sustainable and equitable economic and social systems.
However, in the protest movement against pandemic-related restrictions, “Great Reset” became a buzzword for a variety of conspiracy theories. These claim that the pandemic was orchestrated to destroy traditional social and economic structures and establish a so-called world government.
Right-wing extremists and groups like the Reichsbürger und Selbstverwalter have widely adopted this narrative.
Many right-wing actors not only spread the theory but also infused it with antisemitic elements – linking it to the far-right “Great Replacement“ conspiracy.
