In the lead up to the November 2024 US (s)election the fervor around identity politics has become more polarized than ever. Both sides of the false left versus right dichotomy have become more vitriolic than ever in their respective echo chambers. Like rival gangs warring over a particular street corner neither with any regard for the common people, they objectify their opponents and cajole their constituents into further perpetuating the statist charade that is political theater.
Over the last few years as we have witnessed The Great Inversion take its hold on the minds of the masses within the right wing side of the spectrum, we have watched rise of what can generally be referred to as “The New Right”. This inversion is akin to a controlled opposition psychological operation, particularly in regard to the prevailing narratives of the Trump deception, i.e. the illusion that Trump is saving the people from the so-called “Deep State”.
This illusion is being peddled by this New Right, an uber-authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, neoconservative sector of the political sphere maintaining themselves as faux populists while retaining all of the inherent systemic supremacies of the typical US oligarchy. They are a branch of that same oligarchy, draping themselves in a pax-Americana to be presented as a bulwark against the “woke left”; seemingly preserving traditional American values against the encroaching dregs of Marxism through a veil of pseudo-patriotism. A new polarity in the old paradigm.
This polarity has contributed to the political rise of figures already entrenched in the orbit of the likes of Peter Thiel, and pervasive agendas such as Project 2025.
Thiel, founder of the CIA cut out surveillance technology corporation Palantir, has been a darling of the military industrial complex, member of the steering committee for the Bilderberg Group, and since 2016 one of the primary donors for the Trump campaign, as well as maintaining significant influence over the current campaign through his bankrolling of J.D. Vance.
While this New Right promotes Project 2025, a road map to radically reshape the federal government during the next Republican presidency that is reviled by the left as an existential threat to human rights and civil liberties, it reads more like a reboot of Reagan era neocon policy with a MAGA twist. Not exactly the boogieman it’s been made out to be but still a boon for centralizing even more power into the hands of the state.
Amid this rise of the new right overlapping with the great inversion is a group of figures already deeply entrenched within right-wing circles both in the open and behind the scenes who wish to influence the direction of policy.
The group has privately dubbed themselves “Off Leash”.
