    Heritage foundation: “The revolution will be bloodless if the left will allow it to be”

    The left: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

      Frankly, most of the “left” in the US are wimps. Unwilling to act, unwilling to train to be effective, and damn sure unwilling to risk our own asses for someone else.

      A few years ago, George Floyd sparked protests, the concentration camps for illegal immigrants drew complaints, and there was jack shit achieved. You couldn’t get a dozen people together to do anything useful. Oh, they’d wave signs and chant, but that’s about damn pointless in the face of christo-fascism.

      I don’t think there’s enough of the armed left that are willing to do anything at all. You’ll have some crazy bastards putting up individual fights because they can’t do otherwise, but fear of change is going to paralyze the rest. And the unarmed “left”? They’re not even cannon fodder. They don’t and won’t do anything useful at all.

    boss: “Hey, should I suggest that we bid on the contract for the Heritage Fou-”

    me: “Do it and I’ll set off a thermite grenade in the server room.”

    boss: “…oh, right. Nevermind.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the right-wing Project 2025 playbook.

    On Wednesday, as part of a string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose transgender rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.

    In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted right-wing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.

    In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.

    They included an archive of the Heritage Foundation’s blogs and a Heritage-aligned media site, The Daily Signal, as of November 2022.

    SiegedSec targeted the Heritage Foundation in early June, according to vio, who denied involvement in the earlier attack.
