Over the past eight or so years, I've been asked on numerous occasions how I could be so certain that Trumpworld and the right wing authoritarian tech billionaires that are funding the movement were literally fascists. The simple answer to that question is because I know where the ideas that motivate them and animate their movement come from. As openly fascistic as the Trump regime's exercise of power has been so far, if you peel back a single layer to look at the people providing the ideological framework for those activities, you almost always find literal nazis.

Take for example the Trump regime's frequently self-identified "war on woke." On its face, the collection of policies and activities used to wage the "war on woke" so far have been fundamentally Christian Nationalist, white supremacist, patriarchal, and eliminationist in nature. If however you peel back the top surface of this "war" you find three major ideological propagandists driving the entire agenda: specifically Peter Boghossian, Christopher Rufo, and Richard Hanania; whose frankly odious ideas have had a huge influence on the Republican Party, and the Trump administration. These three have waged a war on higher education, diversity, and the very concept of racial or gender equality, that is expressly endorsed by most of the same far right billionaires who paid to make Trump president; including Marc Andressen, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, and Vivek Ramaswamy. So what happens if you peel back another layer of this fascist onion to find out who is funding and promoting guys like Hanania, Rufo, and Boghossian? You find a rich cracker tech bro, and a eugenicist running a recently rebranded foundation that supports white supremacists, promotes scientific racism, and was literally founded by Nazis. No, really:

Trump’s War on ‘Woke’ and DEI: Incubated by a Nazi Eugenics Foundation

"The ‘war on woke’ did not suddenly appear. It is an idea deeply rooted in a form of scientific racism that has been laundered into the mainstream over decades by the Pioneer Fund and right-wing activists connected with this group.

This nexus of ties to Pioneer Fund entities and ideology throws new light on how the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are the fruit of a broader white supremacist endeavour inspired by Nazi-aligned ideology.

It also suggests that the increasing normalisation of the Nazi salute by Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and others is not an accident either – but a signal; one we would do well not to ignore."

Unfortunately this article is a long read, and it's easy to get bogged down in the idea that the problem here is the "ancient" history of the Human Diversity Foundation/Pioneer Diveristy fund, but if you keep reading the author is very clear that the politics and priorities of the foundation, haven't changed much in the modern era.

"But last year, Hope Not Hate revealed that a network of white supremacist activists was secretly rehabilitating the Pioneer Fund under the new Human Diversity Foundation brand identity.

The aim has been to normalise the Pioneer Fund’s Nazi-aligned scientific racism in the mainstream through the notion of open debate and ‘free’ inquiry. Scientific racism has been rebranded as the story of ‘human biodiversity’.

The key funder supporting this initiative was revealed to be American technology entrepreneur Andrew Conru, who donated $1.3 million to the HDF. Around the same time, Conru was also funding the most influential conservative voices attacking DEI and ‘critical race theory’ – Christopher Rufo, Peter Boghossian, and Richard Hanania.

HDF’s magazine, Aporia, was founded by British far-right activist Matthew Frost. Conru’s donation provided him with a 15% stake in the group. It has defended Richard Lynn’s pseudoscientific racism, published an interview with Nazi sympathiser Jared Taylor, and in 2024 claimed that racial stereotypes are “reasonably accurate”.

Hope Not Hate’s undercover reporting recorded far-right activists associated with the HDF calling for “remigration” – the ‘mass removal of ethnic minorities’.

Kirkegaard is the long-time editor of the Pioneer Fund-backed eugenics journal Mankind Quarterly, a founding board member of which was Nazi eugenicist Otmar von Verscheur – who taught and mentored Josef Mengele, the notorious Nazi SS officer known as the ‘Angel of Death’ for performing medical experiments at Auschwitz.

In 2023, both Kirkegaard and Frost attended a notorious neo-Nazi gathering known as the “Scandza Forum” in Estonia, hosted by Scandinavian neo-Nazi Fróði Midjord. The conference was that year renamed ‘Guide to Kulchur’ after a book by Nazi sympathiser and Holocaust supporter Ezra Pound.

Kirkegaard inherited the assets of the Pioneer Fund from its former long-time president Richard Lynn before he died in July 2023."

Deux années de suite, j’ai suggéré, sur mes réseaux et directement aux organisateurs du Tour de France, que le départ ait lieu à Valenciennes plutôt qu’à Wallers. Je suis convaincu qu’un tel choix offre un impact bien plus important pour notre arrondissement, tant sur le plan économique que médiatique. Aujourd’hui, je me félicite de voir que mon message a été entendu et concrétisé cette année. C’est une belle opportunité pour notre territoire.

Hitlers SS als Vorbild: Undercover-Videos enthüllen Pläne von AfD-nahem Influencer

Erik Ahrens versucht, pseudowissenschaftliche Rassentheorien massentauglich zu machen. Sein Netzwerk reicht bis nach Österreich und zur FPÖ

Really good research from 'HOPE not hate' on the Human Diversity Foundation (HDF), a kind of successor to the Pioneer Fund, continuing its work of supporting and funding "scientific" racist research.

As is so often the case, a mega-rich asshole from Silicon Valley has coughed up a lot of the funding. In this case, that asshole is Andrew Conru, founder of Adult FriendFinder (sorry, swingers), who has given HDF no less than $1.3 million.

Among the other major players are Emil Kirkegaard (legal name: William Engman), who is easily one of, if not the, best known race "scientist" in the world.

Another is Erik Ahrens, a close associate of "identitarian" figurehead Martin Sellner's and a member of Alternative for Germany (AfD). He specifically wants to turn "Germany, or probably eastern Germany, a state power," into a white ethnostate and is seeking to build an "international network generating revenue in different countries" in order to do that.

Anyways, good work all around, and well worth reading.

From the article:

In an online presentation to our undercover reporter in October 2023, Matthew Frost claimed that HDF has two arms. Emil Kirkegaard runs the “underground research arm”, a continuation of Pioneer’s main activity. It is a group of academics and independent researchers that convene weekly for a video call to coordinate ideas and share access to genetic data sets.

The team aims to slip papers into academic journals with higher impact and circulation than their own publications. If unable to do so, HDF will publish the group’s papers in their print journal Mankind Quarterly or the OpenPsych website, which has been described as “a pseudoscience factory-farm”. Kirkegaard is associated with the management of both titles. During a research team meeting in November 2023, Kirkegaard told his researchers that an article on “international dysgenics” was unlikely to get accepted by a proper academic imprint unless their colleague Bryan Pesta, a former scholar at Cleveland State University, could “make the words soft and sweet”. HDF leaders discussed a “pipeline” whereby the underground research team would publish scientific racism articles that would then be promoted by HDF’s public operations like Aporia or Edward Dutton’s YouTube channel, “The Jolly Heretic”.

A diagram shown to our undercover reporter shows that the research team has approximately 10 members. The meeting our infiltrator attended had 11 writers from the UK, the US, and Europe, including Kirkegaard. At least one contributor (Meng Hu at the University of Hong Kong) was not present. Several of the team are known in the world of scientific racism, and had contributed to Aporia or had in the past been funded by Pioneer. Chief among them is Bryan Pesta, who between 2019 and 2022 received Pioneer money and was dismissed from his academic position at Cleveland State University in February 2022 for misusing genetic data in his research.

Davide Piffer is also part of the team. His 2013 paper on intelligence and race was cited by Payton Gendron, the terrorist who shot dead 10 Black people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York in 2022. The gunman wrote in his manifesto that Black people have a “lesser IQ”, concluding: “We must remove blacks from our western civilizations.” In past research papers, Piffer was credited as a member of the psychology department at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, however a representative said he never completed his PhD and left after a year in undisclosed circumstances.

Members of the research team are sometimes successful in smuggling their articles into peer reviewed journals. Piffer co-wrote an article with Kirkegaard focused on IQ for the journal Twin Research and Human Genetics, published by Cambridge University Press, in March 2024.

[07:25] 'Miniversie van Tata Steel vergiftigt Coevorden'. Na zes jaar klagen over houtstof, roet en lawaai is buurt 'radeloos, redeloos en reddeloos'

De gemeente Coevorden is in 2017 de fout ingegaan door vestiging van houtafvalverwerker HDF/Prezero toe te staan. De buurt rond de Parallelweg in Coevorden klaagt al zes jaar over houtstof, roet en geluidsoverlast van dit bedrijf.

Having one of those 3:22 in the a.m. moments when I got "stuff" to work!

Also, ugh, dealing with #netCDF libraries reading hierarchical (grouped) #HDF datasets and having to deal with unnamed dimensions. Also, ugh, again.

The person who pinged me about this won't look too good dealing with the data product developers on his end if he keeps arguing for standards that, e.g., mean my software can read and plot the data. But forget moi, CF rules!

Otherwise. Ooof. My bad.

“Among its many well-known capabilities, GDAL has a hidden superpower — the ability to read scientific data formats like Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), Network Common Data Form (NetCDF), and Gridded Binary (GRIB). Many essential climate and satellite datasets created by the likes of NASA, NOAA, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the European Space Agency (ESA) are stored and distributed in one of these formats. They contain records of everything from global temperatures to land cover to ocean salinity. Unfortunately, many people who’d be interested in using these data don’t even know they exist…”
