Claremont Institute officials closely involved with Society for American Civic Renewal, which experts say is rooted in Christian nationalism
The president of the rightwing Claremont Institute and another senior Claremont official are both closely involved with the shadowy Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), an exclusive, men-only fraternal order which aims to replace the US government with an authoritarian “aligned regime”, and which experts say is rooted in extreme Christian nationalism and religious autocracy.
The revelations emerge from documents gathered in public records requests, including emails between several senior members of SACR: Claremont president Ryan P Williams; its director of state coalitions and Boise State University professor Scott Yenor; and others including former soap manufacturer and would-be “warlord” Charles Haywood.
Are there any thinktanks that aren’t trying to destroy America?
There are a few progressive/left wing ones, yes, eg The Institute for Policy Studies. But, unsurprisingly, conservative ones seem to have much more money and influence.
When is money going to be reworked? I feel like it’s time.
The ones not full of republicans? Is this a bOtH sIdEs thing?
It seems more like think tanks as institutions are more conservative than other intellectual institutions like universities. Think tanks are effectively used to turn private money into public policy justifications.
There may be some liberal or leftist think tanks out there, but I expect them to be far rarer.
Yeah I am pretty sure there are. Can’t think of them off the top of my head though
For being called a thinktank, they aren’t doing much thinking. If I was in a thinktank, regardless of where the money came from I would use it for good in some obscure way, fuck rich people.
For some “thinktanks” their job is simply to reinterpret information and release it formatted to support an agenda.
What the fuck is an “extremist fraternal order”. You mean like Delta Autoerotic Pi? Δ☠🍆∏
Fraternities and sororities are occupied almost solely by scumbags.
This is not surprising in the least.
It’s gottem so bad now that commenters need to look up the meaning of words before commenting.
