Here's the introduction (aka "Pillar I") to the plan currently being implemented: https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf

Some highlights:

From page 20 of the project: "Vought (officially in charge of OMB after being confirmed recently) writes that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should establish a “reputation as the keeper of ‘commander’s intent,’”"

From page 21: " In Chapter 1, former deputy chief of staff to the President Rick Dearborn writes that the White House Counsel “must take seriously the duty to protect the powers and privileges of the President from encroachments by Congress, the judiciary, and the administrative components of departments and agencies.”

Page 28: "When a new President takes office, he will need to decide expeditiously how to handle any major ongoing litigation or other pending legal matters that might present a challenge to his agenda"...", the President should hire a counsel with extensive experience with a wide range of complex legal subjects. Moreover, while a candidate with elite credentials might seem ideal, the best one will be above all loyal to the President"

Page 32, regarding the office of presidential personnel (DOGE): "Playing “bad cop” in a way that other White House offices cannot (including serving as the office that takes direct responsibility for firings and hirings)."

I preferred them when they weren't so political.

/S obviously haha. I'm currently cutting a stencil that says "Nazi lives don't matter" to make some shirts.

Rage 2022 in Cleveland.

Drove all the way to NYC to see them with Run the Jewels after the pandemic. 100% worth it, one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Tim Commorford is weird to watch though. He kinda hops awkwardly from foot to foot.

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

We cannot accurately judge your dedication until you tell us from where you drove to NYC. New Jersey and Anchorage have very different weights here.

It's so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in 'close your eyes' only to find out IRL he's into lame shit like black capitalism.

only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

This isn't one of those lame "now they are the machine" posts is it?

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. The music still slaps though.

RATM's bassist is into some weird fringe right-libertarian stuff too if I recall

Nobody's perfect 🤷‍♂️

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

or they changed. 30 years is a long time.

their debut was released

  • 3 years after the fall of Berlin wall
  • a year after the dissolution of USSR
  • 9 years before the September 11 attacks
  • 15 years before iPhone
  • 24 years before the election of a reality tv entertainer/real estate conman as POTUS
  • China wasn't a superpower back then
  • EU didn't exist in its current form
  • Apartheid was still an actuality
  • internet wasn't omnipresent

I saw them in Cleveland on that tour. Zach had hurt his foot so he sat on the monitor speaker the whole time, but the rest of the guys made up for it.

I paid a LOT of money to get good tickets, and it was 10000% worth it. I’d never seen rage live and figured I might not get to again, so spend the money. Also I’m an rtj fan.

I'm going to my states senate office on Monday with a megaphone and will not leave until the police are called. I'm going to write out what I want to say because I'm too heated to speak freely. Naysayers need not reply.

30 years later and more relevant than ever... That's not a good thing. Continue to rage.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why are all of their songs still relevant 30 years later?

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Because those that work forces are still the ones that burn crosses

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Because the problems they raged about are systemic, and the system didn't change.

[-] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

It did change, though. It got significantly worse.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Because we never eliminate the root cause

It's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Because nobody actually listened to and took seriously what they were saying 30 years ago.

Fun fact: After 9/11, various songs evoking 9/11, such as 'Learning to Fly' by Tom Petty, 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin, 'It's the End of the World as we Know it' by REM ... all banned from airing for about 120 days.

Oh.

And literally everything from Rage Against the Machine.

Other fun fact about this?

This censorship wasn't done by the FCC.

It was done by ClearChannel, aka iHeartRadio, aka, the corporation that now owns or controls basically all terrestrial radio stations.

Warpigs is still banned by Clearchannel

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wow.

I did not know that.

Hooray for the enshittified cyberpunk dystopia.

Save a life, punch a nazi

RATM supported Sendero Luminoso.

Fuck RATM.

wp:Shining Path

The Shining Path has been widely condemned for its excessive brutality, including violence deployed against peasants, trade union organizers, competing Marxist groups, elected officials and the general public.[2]

...

The Shining Path's retaliation to this was one of the worst attacks in the entire conflict, with a group of guerrilla members entering the town and going house by house, killing dozens of villagers, including babies, with guns, hatchets, and axes. This action has come to be known as the Lucanamarca massacre.[39] Additional massacres of civilians by the Shining Path would occur throughout the conflict.[26][40][41]

...

American rock band Rage Against the Machine released a music video for their 1993 song "Bombtrack" as a response to the arrest of Abimael Guzman the previous year. The video expresses support for Guzman and the Shining Path, featuring various clips of the organization's activities, as well as showing the band in a cage to mimic Guzman's imprisonment.[145]

Nazi lives matter a little. You can tally them up to keep score.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

Mary Morello deserves some love as well. Tom has a show on sirius xm. I was introduced to Zeal & Ardor bc of them.

[-] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

As suggested listening following RATM, may I suggest American Idiot by Green Day. You may find similar themes in that album.

Careful! This type of wording earned me my final ban from Reddit!
