to be but this is actually just one part

play02:16

of a much larger conservative master

play02:18

plan project 2025 has four core pillars

play02:22

first the policy as outlined in the 920

play02:25

page document this is where all the

play02:27

heinous and frankly disturbing policy

play02:29

proposal live and don't worry we'll look

at some of those in a bit two the

described as the conservative LinkedIn

play02:38

as if LinkedIn wasn't cringe enough

play03:14

new conservative Emperor to

play03:15

systematically implement the policies

play03:17

listed in the manifesto think Ikea

play03:19

assembly instructions but for fascism

play03:22

these four pillars are the key

play03:24

components of the project and taken

play03:26

together they offer a pretty

play03:28

comprehensive vision for the dystopian

play03:29

future the right hopes to usher in it's

play03:31

all pretty alarming but where exactly

play03:35

does this come from let's take a look at

play03:37

some of the names behind the project if

play03:40

you flip through the first pages of the

play03:41

PDF because let's be honest we're not

play03:44

about to give the Heritage Foundation 35

play03:46

bucks you'll find a list of far-right

play03:48

think tanks advisory groups and business

play03:50

and government figures who contributed

play03:51

to the project some of the names include

play03:53

Donald Divine once called by The

play03:55

Washington Post Reagan's terrible Swift

play03:57

sword of the civil service for his

play03:59

eagerness to SL spending and fire people

play04:02

Steven Moore the well-known conservative

play04:04

author and right-wing Economist with

play04:05

such credentials as working for the very

play04:07

legitimate Freedom works and serving as

play04:09

a Fox News contributor and Peter Navaro

play04:11

who is notable for being one of just

play04:13

three people who worked with Trump for

play04:14

the duration of his term without being

play04:16

fired he's also a little bit obsessed

play04:19

with China having written three truly

play04:21

awful books on the subject the coming

play04:23

China Wars death by China and Crouching

play04:26

Tiger the manifesto credits 35 total

play04:29

authors as well as dozens of

play04:31

contributors all with their credentials

play04:33

listed it's about what you'd expect a

play04:35

lot of people from the Heritage

play04:36

Foundation some military goons a

play04:38

smattering of former Trump officials

play04:40

extremist economists and a considerable

play04:42

number of people who have worked in

play04:44

climate energy immigration and legal

play04:46

positions under conservative governments

play04:48

what you won't see a lot of in the

play04:49

acknowledgements is religious

play04:51

credentials which you'd think would be

play04:53

important given how much the document

play04:55

leans on Christian language this should

play04:57

be your first indication that maybe the

play04:59

the people who loudly Proclaim their

play05:01

faith aren't really all that Christian

play05:03

and they're just using it to win brownie

play05:05

points among their religious

play05:06

conservative audience there's actually a

play05:08

lot of overlap here with the topic of

play05:09

our last video on Christian nationalism

play05:12

these people use religious rhetoric but

play05:14

a little bit of digging reveals that the

play05:16

god they pray to is not the god of the

play05:18

Bible but a mythologized vision of

play05:20

America itself much like fascists

play05:22

throughout history have relied on a

play05:24

glorious false past to act as a North

play05:26

star to guide them into the promised

play05:27

land so too have Americans fascist wrap

play05:30

themselves in comforting mythology

play05:31

proving that what they are doing is not

play05:33

only just but divinely inspired when you

play05:37

have a higher power on your side it's

play05:39

pretty easy to justify horrific acts

play05:42

okay with the brains behind the project

play05:44

out of the way let's get into the

play05:46

nitty-gritty what exactly do these

play05:48

people want what's their end goal well

play05:51

there are four main priorities in their

play05:54

words they want to one restore the

play05:57

family as the centerpiece of American

play05:59

Life and protect our children two

play06:02

dismantle the administrative State and

play06:03

return self-governance to the American

play06:05

people three defend our nation's

play06:08

sovereignty borders and Bounty against

play06:10

Global threats and four secure our

play06:13

god-given individual rights to live

play06:15

freely what our constitution calls the

play06:17

blessings of liberty okay you can

play06:20

probably already see where some of this

play06:21

is going but let's start with the boring

play06:23

stuff the nuts and bolts of manipulating

play06:26

the federal government to serve the

play06:27

right a lot of this project centers

play06:30

around gutting What's called the

play06:31

administrative State this is stuff like

play06:33

the EPA FEMA HUD the FED stuff like that

play06:37

the hum drum logistical stuff that

play06:39

nonetheless often plays an important

play06:40

role or sometimes not looking at you DHS

play06:45

there's a lot of this stuff so much so

play06:48

that it's often called the fourth branch

play06:49

of government and it deals with the

play06:51

day-to-day operations of the country

play06:53

everything from transportation to

play06:54

environmental regulations food and water

play06:56

safety and so on most of these agencies

play06:59

are created when a law is passed that

play07:01

makes people think hm there really

play07:03

should be a group of people responsible

play07:04

for making sure food is safe for

play07:07

consumption or whatever the government

play07:09

slaps together an elite team of nerds

play07:11

that is to say subject matter experts

play07:13

people who actually know what they're

play07:14

talking about and there you go you've

play07:16

got the FDA the FDA then takes over the

play07:19

task of enforcing whatever regulations

play07:20

they come up with in administrative

play07:22

courts but this is all really boring all

play07:25

you need to know is that a lot fewer

play07:27

people die because the FDA exists and we

play07:29

have fewer polluted rivers and extinct

play07:31

species because the EPA exists

play07:33

conservatives don't really like rules in

play07:35

general especially rules that protect

play07:37

the environment or poor people so these

play07:39

agencies need to go it's not good enough

play07:42

that the president can appoint the heads

play07:43

of these admin agencies for example

play07:45

Trump appointing a fossil fuel executive

play07:47

to head the EPA no conservatives want

play07:49

complete power over everyone in these

play07:52

agencies because right now the subject

play07:54

matter experts at say the EPA are not

play07:57

beholden to politics they just come to

play07:59

work work and try to figure out how to

play08:00

protect snails or something much of the

play08:04

argument here centers around whether

play08:06

these agencies are constitutional

play08:08

conservatives like to claim that since

play08:10

the Constitution didn't explicitly say

play08:12

federal agencies like these were part of

play08:13

their master plan their government

play08:15

overreach and should be dismantled

play08:18

historically federal courts have

play08:19

disagreed with this assessment so until

play08:21

now we can rest assured that our milk

play08:23

has been pasteurized and our water isn't

play08:25

contaminated with lead but here's the

play08:28

thing with the whole con

play08:29

constitutionality argument who cares

play08:32

most countries around the world scrap

play08:34

their constitutions entirely when the

play08:35

people decide they're no longer relevant

play08:37

or they need to be overhauled only the

play08:39

United States has this weird reverence

play08:41

for the Constitution and the founding

play08:43

fathers part of that is due to the

play08:45

relatively Short history of the country

play08:47

the US has only really existed for a

play08:49

couple hundred years when you look

play08:51

around the world and see some of your

play08:52

peer Nations have a couple thousand

play08:54

years of History you might feel the need

play08:56

to mythologize your past just a little

play08:58

bit to make your nation seems special

play09:00

the founding fathers have been elevated

play09:02

to Godlike status especially among

play09:04

conservatives but the truth is they were

play09:06

a bunch of Frat Boys okay not all of

play09:09

them Ben Franklin was 70 and Washington

play09:11

was 44 but a lot of them dear viewer are

play09:14

younger than you are right now Alexander

play09:16

Hamilton the one with the annoying fan

play09:18

club he was 21 and he wasn't even the

play09:21

youngest anyway the point is when you

play09:23

look at historical events without the

play09:25

rose tint of Mythology you see a bunch

play09:28

of normal people just kind of making it

play09:29

up as they go along it's normal that

play09:32

things change over the centuries what's

play09:35

considered constitutional should reflect

play09:37

the values and Norms of the time that

play09:40

little tangent aside let's get back to

play09:42

the goals of project 2025 we talked

play09:44

about the boring stuff wanting to gut

play09:46

the administrative state but what else

play09:48

is in there it's 920 Pages after all

play09:50

they've got to have some other ideas

play09:53

well a lot of it is what you might

play09:55

expect As Trump stated on numerous

play09:58

occasions they want want to kick the

play09:59

cultural marxists out of the Department

play10:01

of Education demolish the Deep State and

play10:03

combat woke ideology at all levels of

play10:06

government they plan to do this by

play10:08

making extensive use of schedule F A

play10:10

piece of legislation established at the

play10:11

federal level by Trump which allows the

play10:13

president to fire federal government

play10:15

officials at will presumably for not

play10:17

sufficiently bending the knee the

play10:19

project calls for an executive branch

play10:21

with essentially unchecked power making

play10:23

the president basically unaccountable to

play10:25

Congress they want to dismantle the

play10:26

liberal system to build one more

play10:28

favorable to conserv atives that means

play10:30

scrapping Environmental Protections

play10:31

moving away from globalism punishing

play10:33

corporations for Dei language which is

play10:36

funny because it sounds like they

play10:37

actually think these corporations

play10:39

genuinely believe their Dei statements

play10:41

they want to escalate tensions with

play10:42

China by ending economic engagement

play10:44

entirely crack down on immigration

play10:46

criminalize LGBT expression they claim

play10:49

that any talk of gender gender identity

play10:51

and so on is pornography and should be

play10:53

banned and has no First Amendment

play10:55

protections they want to scrap labor

play10:57

discrimination policies quote maintain a

play10:59

biblically based social science

play11:01

reinforced definition of family meaning

play11:03

scrap protections for same-sex marriage

play11:05

and plan to quote secure our god-given

play11:07

individual rights to live freely unless

play11:10

of course you're one of the AFF

play11:10

forementioned groups they intend to

play11:12

criminalize out of

play11:14

existence in that vein to touch very

play11:16

briefly on their views on pornography if

play11:19

you read the text they basically just

play11:20

mean any discussion of gender abortion

play11:23

or any identity other than straight and

play11:25

cisgender they want all instances of

play11:28

this kind of language stripped from

play11:30

society while it's a little cliche to

play11:32

compare the conservatives to Nazis you

play11:34

know what books were the first to be

play11:35

burned which institutions were the first

play11:37

to be shuttered books on gender and

play11:39

sexuality and institutions that studied

play11:42

these topics but okay we know elected

play11:45

conservatives are like one step removed

play11:47

from outright fascism at this point but

play11:49

how are they justifying this yes we all

play11:52

know they just forced this stuff through

play11:54

if they could but at least for now they

play11:57

still have to play by the rules of West

play11:58

Western liberalism so the key to their

play12:01

plan is to lean on unitary executive

play12:04

Theory which dates back to the Devil

play12:05

Himself Ronald

play12:07

Reagan in a nutshell this political

play12:10

Theory suggests that maybe having three

play12:12

separate but equal branches of

play12:13

government isn't a good idea and that

play12:16

instead the executive branch should

play12:17

dominate the

play12:19

relationship Reagan's team came up with

play12:21

this notion to help facilitate

play12:23

deregulation and it kind of just stuck

play12:25

every president since Reagan has made

play12:27

use of this Theory to wield just a

play12:28

little bit more power than they probably

play12:30

should have Bush Jr justifying his

play12:32

invasion of Iraq Obama justifying

play12:34

widespread us deployment overseas

play12:36

Trump's Muslim ban and so on now the

play12:39

project 2025 ghouls want to make sure

play12:41

the president has essentially unchecked

play12:43

power that Congress cannot prevent the

play12:45

president from doing what they want to

play12:47

do however heinous their pet projects

play12:49

may be there's a whole conversation

play12:52

about unitary executive theory in

play12:53

government circles people are writing

play12:55

books about it and having very important

play12:57

conversations with very smart people and

play13:00

you know what that's what makes this so

play13:02

scary the Republicans talk a big game

play13:05

about destroying cultural Marxism or

play13:07

Waging War on woke but that's just

play13:09

Bluster when they start coming up with

play13:11

justifications within the liberal

play13:13

framework the Democrats will cave like

play13:15

they always do every single time we see

play13:18

them play ball with the far right they

play13:20

seed a little more ground each time then

play13:23

you get a president like Biden who just

play13:25

straight up accelerates the process by

play13:27

speeding up border wall Construction C

play13:29

approving a record number of oil

play13:30

drilling permits and then when he

play13:32

inevitably loses because everyone is

play13:33

upset with him the project 2025 people

play13:36

swoop in and the Democrats just go along

play13:38

with it because it's technically legal

play13:40

not to do it again but most fascists

play13:43

throughout history have come into power

play13:45

through technically legal means and then

play13:47

they change what's legal so you can't

play13:49

get them out

play13:52

again well that's all pretty Grim huh

play13:54

what's the solution here do we just vote

play13:56

harder no I mean do that that if you

play13:59

want especially if you think you can

play14:00

make a difference at the local level but

play14:02

things have gotten worse for us with

play14:04

every single president and things have

play14:06

certainly gotten worse for people living

play14:08

in the third world as the US gets more

play14:10

and more vicious abroad as our Empire

play14:12

declines the solution is the same as

play14:15

it's always been mass movements join an

play14:18

organization unionize your workplace

play14:20

learn to defend yourself and your

play14:22

community from fascist vigilante

play14:23

violence keep yourself safe online learn

play14:26

your rights educate yourself and those

play14:28

around you things like project 2025

play14:31

don't happen in a vacuum there is an

play14:33

economic base to these developments the

play14:36

US is losing ground on the world stage

play14:38

and will soon be superseded by China as

play14:40

the dominant economic power domestically

play14:43

the average worker is worse off now than

play14:44

in living memory we can't afford the

play14:46

skyrocketing cost of housing food Health

play14:49

Care utilities everything is going up

play14:52

except wages we have no mandated paid

play14:54

sick leave or parental leave we have no

play14:56

benefits no labor protections no CH for

play14:59

advancement as more and more companies

play15:00

move to the gig model of employment

play15:03

these are structural problems caused by

play15:05

the very nature of capitalism run the

play15:08

simulation a thousand times and will end

play15:10

up right here every single time the race

play15:13

for endlessly increasing profits result

play15:15

in Monopoly over acccumulation a falling

play15:17

rate of profit economic desperation

play15:20

among the masses and a surge of reaction

play15:22

that carries fascism to the very top you

play15:25

want a different result break the

play15:27

machine that powers the societal evils

play15:30

if capitalism is allowed to survive we

play15:32

will

play15:35

not I mentioned at the beginning of the

play15:37

video that this episode was made

play15:38

possible by Hensen shaving this is a new

play15:41

one for me and I'm actually really glad

play15:42

they reached out because I've been using

play15:44

safety razors for years it's just a way

play15:46

better experience than those awful

play15:47

little cartridge razors or a big

play15:49

electric one you have to recharge all

play15:50

the time anyway besides just making my

play15:53

preferred style of Razor Hensen shaving

play15:55

actually has a really cool story their

play15:57

background is an Aeros space Machining

play15:59

they've built parts for the Mars rover

play16:01

and the ISS so as a space nerd and a

play16:04

safety razor snob I was only too happy

play16:06

to try out this guy The Henson al13 what

play16:09

sets this razor apart from pretty much

play16:10

anything else on the market is how

play16:12

precisely it's made these things are

play16:14

made to Crazy tight tolerances the blade

play16:17

extends just enough and at a perfect 30Β°

play16:19

to take all the guesswork out of the

play16:21

Shaving angle plus the blade is

play16:22

supported across its entire length which

play16:24

makes for the smoothest shave I've ever

play16:26

experienced seriously I've been using

play16:28

this thing for a couple months now and I

play16:30

haven't nicked myself once one thing

play16:32

I've always hated about the Shaving

play16:33

industry is how wasteful it is over two

play16:36

billion disposable razors end up in

play16:38

landfills every year hence and shaving

play16:40

had a problem with that too so they

play16:41
