    You’d think so, but no. Project 2025 can be traced back through the heritage foundation to the Technocracy movement, which was a bunch of proto-tech bros like Elon’s Grandpa

    They thought they were the smartest little guys and so they should control all aspects of society. They wanted to carve the world up into economic zones, and they wanted America’s to be from the Panama canal to the artic, including Greenland, so they could control shipping through the artic and across the Atlantic

    They were really big about shipping lanes, which is why South Africa randomly comes up too

      I hadn’t known about that angle, thank you!

      The imperialism in it, though, … incompatible with civil-rights, obviously…

        Oh trust me, it gets so much worse than the imperialism…

        Their plan was basically like “what if tech-bros min-maxed absolutely everything, North Korea style?”
