dealing with fascism

Project 2025 WILL Happen

This is the first time
many of us
will be functioning
under a Fascist Regime.

That is scary.
And we SHOULD be scared.

Some of us
won’t survive it.
Especially as we are
business builders
i.e. potential threats
to their leadership.

But the Fascists
in the US
have published
a to-do list for themselves,
an outline of
all the terrible things
they plan to do.

And that will make survival
a tiny bit easier.

The to-do list is called
Project 2025
and it is a lengthy 922 pages.

Higher ups
in the Fascist Regime
have confirmed
Project 2025 WILL happen.

They feel the election results
signal
the US people approve of this plan.
And there is nothing and no one
left
to stop them.

(Anyone who does try to stop them
will likely disappear.)

If you want to survive,
study Project 2025.
There are great summaries
crafted.
Read those first.

But also read
the entire 922 page document.

And then make plans.

(Canadians should do the same.
Because the Conservatives in Canada
plan to follow Project 2025 also.)

Your business is at stake.
But, more critically,
your LIFE is at stake.

Study Project 2025
and take it seriously.
It WILL happen.

Closing client k At The End Of The Month

My last post here
will go live
on November 30th.

I plan to take client k
completely down
at the end of January.

If I continue to post here,
I’ll post something
that will anger
the Fascists
soon to take power
in the US.

Fascists tend
to make people disappear.

I love sharing my insights
with business builders
but I’m not willing to f*ckin’ die
for that honor.

Plus I doubt
my insights will be very useful.

I’ve studied Fascism
extensively
but
I’ve never built a business
in that very unique environment.

And we know
that theory and practice
are NOT at all the same thing.

Everything ends eventually.
It is that time for client k.

History DOES Repeat

We, humans, do
the same sh*t over and over.

The path the US is on
right now,
for example?
It has been taken
hundreds of times
at least.

We can predict
what happens next.

Predicting what happens next
WILL benefit
ourselves
and our growing businesses.
Knowing the next steps
allows us to prepare,
to survive,
to prosper.

Learn history.
Because it DOES repeat
and you SHOULD
be prepared.

Don’t be surprised
by predictable events.

It Is Not Fear Mongering

Some loved ones
are telling me
I’m ‘fear mongering’
regarding the threat
of denaturalization.

Stephen Miller,
Trump’s senior advisor,
posted
on Twitter
that they will ‘turbocharge’
denaturalization
in 2025.

It isn’t fear mongering
if the threat
is bluntly issued
by people
with the authority
to enact that threat.

People in leadership positions
don’t ‘muse’ about
harming people
on public platforms.

That’s a
legitimate f*ckin’ threat.

If someone says
they will harm you,
believe them.

And take action
to ensure
that harm is minimized.

Keep Your Genealogy Records

The Fascists (Republican Party)
in the US
are openly talking about
denaturalization.

That’s the stripping
of citizenship
from citizens.

One day,
people are American citizens.

The next day,
these same people will be country-less.

And they could be ‘deported’
to random countries.

You can bet
all your startup funds
Fascists in other countries
(like the Conservatives in Canada)
want to do this also.

Which means
we are all at risk
of being deported,
whether we were born
in our current citizenship country
or not.

We should
be prepared for that
if it happens.

That means getting
our genealogy records
in order.

We should have copies
of birth certificates
and marriage certificates
for our parents,
grandparents,
great-grandparents,
as far back
as possible.

The goal is to have ‘proof’
we have a tie
to another country.

That will increase the odds
we will be allowed
to stay in that country.

Sh*t is getting ugly.
Prepare for the ugliness now.

Not Offending The Fascists

Many large American companies
are dismantling policies
that help women
and other minorities.

Why are they doing this?

The ‘official’ reasons
are varied.

But I suspect
it is because
they don’t want to
offend the fascists.

That might not be positive
for the world
but it will likely be positive
for these companies.

It is a politically smart move.

If these companies dismantle policies
fascists don’t like
and the fascists come into power,
they are less likely
to be immediately targeted.

If another party
comes into power,
these companies will reinstate
the policies
and the party leaders
will feel they had a hand
in the positive change.

Should you,
as an entrepreneur
and small business owner,
play that political game?

It depends on you,
on your customer base,
on your plans
for dealing with fascism.

Why I’m Posting About Project 2025 Now

Over the last few days,
I’ve been posting
about Fascism,
Project 2025
and the ramifications
of that
on business builders.

You might be asking
why I would post about this
NOW.

The election is in November.
The next US President
won’t take power
until January 20th.

The primary reason is
plans take time to craft.

And planning for Project 2025
is a HUGE process.

F*ck.
Project 2025 is 922 pages.
Merely reading it
will take time.

(And you can bet your entire start up funding
that there are implications scattered
everywhere
in those 922 pages.)

The other key reason is…
my action plan for client k,
if Trump’s Republicans get elected,
is to go nuclear.

This blog will be zapped.

I will likely already be
on the Fascists’ extremely long hit list
by then,
merely by warning you
about Project 2025,
but I won’t make it easier
for them.

I’m taking Project 2025
seriously.
You should take it seriously
also.

Fascists Act Quickly

It angers me
that I have to post this
but, as the billionaires
controlling the media
seem intent on promoting fascist leaders,
I think it is prudent.

Fascists tend to
signal their intentions
to their followers
long before coming into power.
They publish documents
like Mein Kampf or Project 2025.

These documents
serve as to-do lists.

And when the fascists
come into power,
they complete the items
on that to-do list.

Quickly.

First, they craft
more lists,
lists of people
that engage in the acts
they seek to punish.

This step often happens
BEFORE the fascists
come into power.

Once their secret hit lists
are complete,
the fascists quietly and quickly
make those acts illegal.

Then,
often that same day/night,
the fascists will
arrest the people
on their lists.

And many of those arrested people
will never be
seen again.

THIS is why
we, as business builders,
have to prepare
for the possibility
of fascism
NOW.

Because the fascists
are definitely preparing.

Be prepared to act quickly.

Have A Plan For Project 2025

Project 2025
outlines the Trump’s Republicans’
plans if they seize power
over the US.

Take it seriously.

Because it WILL
impact all American businesses.

Especially small and/or growing
businesses
like the ones
we’re building.

A LOT of activities
and associations
will become illegal.

Did you sell to a Muslim
or a Gay person
or an autistic person
or a woman
anytime in the past,
as one small example?

You might consider
purging your customer records
if Trump’s Republicans win.

Fascists move quickly.
You will have little,
if any,
time to react.

Create a plan
to deal with Project 2025.

Have an action list,
complete with how to take
those actions
quickly.

Lives could depend on this.

Not-As-Obvious Halloween-Themed Products

Some of your customers
have told you
they’d love a version
of your product
wrapped in Halloween-themed packaging.

But you also know
there’s a growing intolerance
in some of your target markets
(like the Southern USA)
for anything viewed as not Christian.

What do you do?

You change your packaging
to orange.
You change the font color
to black.

Bam.
You have Halloween-themed packaging
that you could sell all year round
and that no one can ‘prove’
is Halloween-themed.

Play with orange and black
this spooky season.
