  1. This is one of the biggest threats to our beloved Europe right now and they will use rightwing-nationalists and they will try to indoctrinate christians as tools to attack us from within. We need to be ready and stop them wherever they try to get a foot on the ground.

    This also includes, as stated from the article above: „It is known to have featured contributions from two prominent right-wing organisations: **Hungary’s largest private educational institution with a Brussels-based thinktank, Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC)**, and **the Polish Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture**. Also participating was the **American Christian legal activist group, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).**“

  2. I hope we are resilient enough to not be influenced by a right wing extremist, antidemocratic organization.

    Last time we went down that path 70 million people died.

  4. They are moving onto Scotland next due to the election next month..

  5. Europe doesn’t need more like Farage that’s for sure.

  6. How much influence pressure and coup attempts do we think are enough before we classify them as a terrorist organisation?

  7. The strong stance of the European system is far too complex and with solid foundations. Brexit, Covid, Ukraine has also strengthen the Union.

    The Heritage Foundation will fail.

  8. I don’t see the trigger topics being the same in Europe as the U.S. tbh. While there are some pockets, there really isn’t all that much of a Christian conservatism and religious fundamentalist thing in way you see it in the U.S.

    Where Europe is very vulnerable is around far right nationalism and just the usual groups that lean towards fascism and authoritarianism. It’s a dangerous mix but it’s not generally bolted to social and religious topics as is the case in the US
    There are exceptions in some counties, but they’re outliers.

    The US has some unusual issues around the very hardcore evangelical and Christian fundamentalism culture in some regions — that isn’t really replicated in Europe.

  9. I mean, at least they use very incompetent people, look at Trump, Musk and others, they are a massive threat, of course, but they are also undermining many of their own efforts, maybe this can be exploited by the EU when fighting the Heritage Foundation.

  11. People should begin with reading the contracts and agreements that make up the European Union. We are not like the USA and as much as they would like to do it, they cant. We shouldnt tolerate the extreme wings either in our national levels though.

  14. I dearly hope our soon-to-be German government has learned something from the recent events as many major heads (Merz and Spahn especially) are having worryingly tight ties to transatlantism and US economical philosophy.

  15. Here in the U.S., I would like to see the Heritage Foundation be disbanded and all in it to be labeled as terrorists. This is exactly what terrorists do. How, exactly, did the U.S. go from fighting terrorists to becoming them?

  16. [I predicted this mere hours ago. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/5baVkr0sDU)

    >”And for anyone who’s forgotten a key characteristic of American Christianity: **they invade.**

    >Trump is establishing control at home and then he’s highly likely to wield our military in expansive endeavors.

    >My point being if you think things are bad now? You are going to *wish* for today in the future.”

  17. What was unthinkable half a year ago is reality now.

    USA are moving from strongest EU ally to Russian level of threat, far lower than China.

    This is just crazy, what one incompetent moron can do.

  18. One big problem is that we give these guys no accountability and recognition by referring them as an org. The average person doesn’t know anyone involved or behind The Heritage Foundation. They’re faceless organisations, the people involved need to be named and reported on rather than giving cover calling it by it’s organisation name. Individuals please

  19. They are. All of them are true evil, fascism wrapped in a flag, carrying The Cross.

  20. IF the heritiage foundation can infiltrate the Vatican and set a pope that is hardcore Christian we’re really fucked

  21. Heritage Foundation telling EU to go get its shine box and then ending up in the trunk of car about to be thrown into a shallow grave upstate.

  24. Ive been saying this for awhile. If you read the yarvin and thiel bullshit that these morons are getting their ideas from, their little techbro fiefdom system doesn’t work if only the US is under their control. They need the majority of the world to fall in line for it to really work. They can’t establish it because it will split the military and nukes, and leave huge holes for invasion.

    Invasion becomes a non issue if every major country is owned by them. The fiefdoms were never about different sections of the USA, it was about different countries, like Musk owning USA, bezos owning the UK, ect.

  25. The main thing is that your countries have to strengthen election financing against corruption.

  26. Oh for God sakes, their are already in Europe for years. They either create new organizations, like the one that contributed to Brexit, sponsor existing or use lobbying groups in Brussels.

    To tackle them EU has to end Lobbying, impose the Digital Act without reserves, and create an European organization dedicated to counter disinformation, lying, hate speech and interference.

    Europe should look at Taiwan, the country that tackles more disinformation or interference attempts, and copy them:

    [Taiwan’s vibrant fact-checking ecosystem includes fact-checking organizations like Cofacts, Taiwan FactCheck Center and MyGoPen, as well as organizations like the Taiwan Information Environment Research Center, which provides literacy education and conducts multidisciplinary scientific research on information manipulation. Taiwan AI Labs uses AI technology to track the flow of disinformation in Taiwan. A unique aspect of this ecosystem is that these organizations are very willing to work together, as “the danger, the threat that we are facing, is real,” said Su from Oakland University. Freedom House credits Taiwan’s diverse and cohesive civil society responses and media literacy efforts with making Taiwan “very resilient” to China’s persistent disinformation campaigns.](https://dominotheory.com/how-taiwan-tackles-disinformation-as-the-most-targeted-country-for-information-manipulation-in-the-world/)

  27. We already experienced the dark ages. We don’t want that again.

  28. Its nice to see this gain acknowledgement, the US as it currently stands ,its government and the various far right oligarchs and far right Christian fascist organizations that serve as both the current puppet masters of the regime and its additional arms pose as much of a threat as Russia to the free world .The Heritage Foundation has said it wants the EU destroyed, and Trump also has said as much . These organizations want to turn Europe into fascist vassal states controlled by fascist oligarchs and religious fanatics .

  30. American here. I recommend stocking up on Raid Pest Control before you, too, are overwhelmed by the roaches.

  31. I hope we are enough secular to not give them enough leverage.

    Fuck Religions. Believing in Gods is such a stupid thing in this day and age.

  32. Can´t these ´think tanks´ be dissolved and any foreign members deported? Deportation of ´people who are a danger to the state´ is an acceptable measure to ensure national security in… parts of the world these days.

  33. As an American, all I’ll say is take their desire to expand to Europe seriously. Do not assume your governments, societies, and cultural norms will save you or stop them. They will bide their time and slowly extend their tendrils throughout Europe, gradually bringing the most extreme views into the mainstream and then it is too late.
    I wish you all the best in combating what I consider to be an existential threat to world peace.

  35. Good luck my European friends. Though I suspect you guys won’t stand for that shit.

  36. Guys. These people are evangelical, sexually repressed (possibly deviant) incels that seek to destroy all the “clubs” they couldn’t get into in high school because they were weirding everyone out. They are not serious people but they are dangerous. Also, they are idiots. Drive them back into their prayer closets and vacation Bible schools. Give them no quarter.

  38. People saying Europe doesn’t trigger with the same things the US does… see how easily they got the americans by spamming about south american migrants. You really dislike their odds, when countries like Portugal now have around 15% of their population as migrants and a lot of them are from Pakistan?

    If they start pushing the buttons on countries that are almost breaking full of migrants, they will find people who will listen.

  39. Europe should declare the Heritage Foundation a terrorist organization.

  40. As an American, for fucks sake, take these people seriously. Like drone strike seriously, not Chamberlain “peace for our time” seriously. Not “it cannot happen to us” seriously. This is a cancer that will invade and spread.

    There have already been whistleblowers from Twitter who have quite literally worked on AI chatbot agents who are meant to act as real accounts to push far-right nationalist messages, and that their system has been tuned to amplify them and similar messaging.

    There’s no “in your face” attack here, it’s continuous and constant misinformation and propaganda warfare. They will brainwash your fellow men and women into selling out their own country and people. Taking a soft approach to thugs, cheats, and liars will not win.

  42. Most of you don’t understand how they attack. They start with something benign like insurance reform. They instituted highly successful statewide insurance markets in Massachusetts, One of our most liberal states. They backed a candidate that rose to national popularity, Mitt Romney, A former governor of Massachusetts.

    Within 12 years, They were beating the drum hard for Trump. Obama passed a nationwide version of their insurance market plan, And they came out against it. Now they’re enacting a plan to dismantle our democratic institutions.

    One of the fascinating things about them is how they use Democratic levers of government, against government. For example they use our transparency laws to launch hundreds of thousands of frivolous records requests. Their goal is to show government doesn’t work by breaking it.

    It sounds dumb, but they are talking to dumb people. That’s the biggest takeaway.

  43. All these conspiracies about freemasons… illuminati and what not which has turned into nothingburgers each and every time and yet the conspiracy folks and “JAQ” (just asking questions) scream how they plan to take over the world anyday now.

    Yet now that we got a real breathing conspiracy group wishing to undermine people’s freedom to be controlled by a selected few, it’s crickets from the conspiracy folks?

  45. Russian propaganda isn’t just on the U.S. side of the Atlantic.

  46. When is the EU going to treat maga-America as our enemy, because that’s what they are!

  48. The heritage foundation better learn 25+ languages. Since they’re American I doubt they speak more than 1.

  49. Y’all should be arresting anyone affiliating themselves with these people. You cannot handle fascism with a soft touch. Here in the US, the Boomer Democrats have been playing nice with the corrupt GOP since the 70’s, and on the flip side the GOP is out for blood over anything that could be perceived as the Democrats doing something wrong. And all the Boomer Democrats do is lose lose lose. The fascist Republicans are pushing the line back further and further. Write your politicians and tell them that the US is a cautionary tale.

  50. Good luck EU. The stupids in America couldn’t resist the siren call of fascism, and you guys are chock full of fascist curious.
