We’re lucky the Heritage Foundation was so shamelessly cocky about their extremism. They could’ve released a sanitized Project 2025 playbook—and hid their far-right agenda and training of loyalists. Their arrogance gave us a chance to warn voters of this looming authoritarianism.
The fact Project 2025’s “Mandate for Leadership” and Donald Trump’s Agenda 47 are laid out clear as day on their websites, makes it impossible for anyone to credibly deny the involvement of former Trump officials or the fact Trump’s agenda is identical to Project 2025 in key ways.
When I first came across Project 2025 last year, I was shook. The Heritage Foundation has dropped policy recommendations since Reagan, but nothing like this. So I wrote an article on it, and spent the next 9 months writing about it. Heritage also spent months bragging about it.
Fake elite “populists” are exploiting anti-elite messaging from real populist movements.
They are “elite” themselves but claim they’re fighting oppressive systems while perpetuating them. They do this by making their fake populism not about economic class, but ideological class.
The right knows they can’t make credible economic arguments, so they’re waging an ideological war on progress or what they call “woke.” They shamelessly prey on people’s grievances and fears of change. They feed their supporters anger while they fatten their own pockets.
While the idea of democratizing access to AI models sounds great on paper, it has a lot of risks in the unregulated, pre-ethical AI governance environment we’re currently it
Extremists getting their hands on these sophisticated AI models can be dangerous
This is how Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, in a nutshell:
SVB over-invested in long-term mortgage-backed securities. As rates rose, value of those securities dropped—they sold at a $1.8B loss. SVB said it needed to raise $2.25B to offset the loss. Then VCs triggered a bank run…
Peter Thiel & other VCs told their portfolio companies to withdraw cash. SVB customers withdrew $42B by the end of Thursday. SVB went cash negative as it tried to cover the withdrawals. By Friday morning, regulators shut down SVB and FDIC said it would insure $250k of deposits…
The same VCs who attack the government began begging for a bailout for a bank run they helped cause.
By Monday, the Biden Admin guaranteed 100% of deposits, promised SVB accountability, and Biden said they did it without spending any taxpayer money. Companies could meet payroll.
Watch for yourself. In the same breath, Kanye West praises Hitler and attacks Jews.
Kanye West is blaming the entire Jewish community for his bad business deals. That’s what’s happening. He is echoing centuries-old antisemitic tropes, straight up praising murderous Hitler, and targeting millions of people all because he’s unhappy with his contracts. Just sick.
This is rock bottom for Kanye West. There is no coming back from this
