The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).

The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.

The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.

    No more doomscrolling for you. Spend time with real people face to face, and you’ll feel the difference within a week.

      Head-in-the-sand strategies wont work, you’ll just pull your head out to a worse situation. It’s better to learn to put your fear and anxiety to use, keeping the treason of these Nazis in front of the entire world. Make them know how despised they are in decreasing polls. Resist everything they are doing, and encourage your friends. Apply Malicious Compliance wherever possible. Keep the pressure on your government officials. Recent town halls for both Republicans and Democrats have been heavily attended by EXTREMELY angry citizens. They need to know how angry we are, and how immensely outnumbered they are.

      Lean into your worrying, transform it into anger, and let that fuel your resistance.

        If the situation really is that bad, you’ll hear about it without any doomscrolling. If you don’t come across a topic in normal casual conversations or by reading papers in a library, it’s probably not actually that urgent.

        There’s so much unnecessary doom and gloom floating around on mainstream social medias that I can’t really consider them a healthy option for news consumption.

          I AM hearing about it without doomscrolling. Do you watch ANY news, or any other media?

          This isn’t just Liberal propaganda, these people are really dismantling our government at a record pace, and they are deliberately doing it recklessly to cause the most chaos. Not only can we NOT avoid it, we SHOULDNT avoid it. We need to turn our fears and worries into white-hot anger at what these MAGATurd Nazis are doing to our nation, and the world.

            It’s serious, so you should act accordingly. Stay strong. Just participate and influence your future. Use whatever means you are comfortable with.

          This is such a privileged take. And I know because I’m also privileged. I’m a straight, white, cis, male. I grew up in an Evangelical Christian home, and could pretend to be Christian if needed (though I won’t). You and I are lucky enough to be able to ignore this until we “hear about it without doomscrolling.”

          Like you do realize that this means that you’ll hear about it when shit is really fucking bad. I guess fuck trans people, right? Wouldn’t want to hurt my mental health to hear about the literal genocide that’s coming.

            If you allow minorities to be oppressed, it will eventually lead to the oppression of larger minorities. Eventually, they’ll also find a reason to come after you as well. Maybe it’s the freckles, or pizza toppings or political opinions. Either way, oppression has a tendency to expand.

      I understand where it comes from, but I think this is just bad advice. We cannot encourage people to ignore what is happening.

        There are healthier ways to stay informed. Doomscrolling has a tendency to cause intense emotions that probably aren’t very helpful during a time when staying focused is important. People shouldn’t ignore what’s happening. Instead, they should try to fix the problem. Unnecessary anxiety and fear is just counterproductive.
