Well, if you are "so far down the rabbit hole", then you are probably much more informed about this than I am, so all I can really offer is my "feelings" on the matter. I'll start with globalization in general.
First we had clans, then we had cities, then we had city-states, then we had kingdoms, then we had republics. The scale of government grows and grows, but the scope of each level gets smaller and smaller. It's a very good habit to debate and challenge what level of power/responsibility each level has, but I don't think there really anyone who thinks we should get rid of national/federal level governments and go back to a bunch of independent states/provinces. So why is the idea of one higher level seen as anathema to some? I don't think a higher level of government, such as the European Union should be objected to on principle, but rather it should be objected to based on overreach. In Canada, powers have been distributed between the feds and the provinces based on what makes sense for each level; a higher level of government, say a pan-North American Union, would have only such powers that actually makes sense for such a level to have, and I have no problem with that. Call me imperialistic, but there are a lot of laws/practices that I find barbaric in the world that I would love to see outlawed by having those countries forced to adopt more modern laws by joining a more formal and higher-than-nation-level government. If one day the human race is a star-faring species, do you really think that Earth and other colonies won't have a single planet-spanning government?
Regarding the WEF specifically. It's funny how people try to layer simpler conspiracy theories over more complex conspiracy facts just because those facts are too boring and hard to understand.
There is absolutely a conspiracy of billionaires and old money influencing the worlds cabinets through international organisations and lobby groups like the WEF et al. It's just that it's not some top down movie-script-friendly scenario, but rather just a class effect of these people having similar interests, going to a few prestigeous schools together, and sharing board positions on blue chips. Even they don't think they're in some shadowy conspiracy organisation - it's just self interested rich people teaming up to sculp the world in an image that gives them an extra couple percent off their income tax.
I do not believe that Karl Schwab is some evil cat stroking blind-in-one-eye leader overlooking Kamala Harris and Chrystia Freeland. The members of WEF have a genuine and benevolent belief that the world can be better if we work together on specific goals and enact specific programs; it's not because they want to control the world.
Further, the WEF is not a top-down organization controlled by Karl Schwab (or anyone for that matter). I see no conflict of interest in having cabinet members be a part of it. They simply get together to share ideas that the mutually think are good ideas on how to make the world a better place; no one has any actual power over anyone else within WEF. If members of cabinets who are also members of WEF decide to promote ideas that they heard at WEF, that's fine, because they are simply pushing an idea that they believe in. The only difference between those ideas, and say the ideas of a non-WEF attending MP, is simply that they heard about the idea at a WEF TED Talk, not because Karl Schwab and the WEF strategic console ordered them to adopt it.
