Summary
Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and architect of Trump’s Project 2025, employs intense fire-related rhetoric in his upcoming book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, advocating for a “controlled burn” of institutions he deems corrupt or antithetical to conservative goals.
Roberts calls for dismantling entities like the FBI, Ivy League schools, and the New York Times, framing it as necessary to “renew” America.
His incendiary language has sparked controversy, with critics alarmed by the violent imagery and its implications for Trump’s second term.
adjective Of, relating to, or being a group of civilians organized in a military fashion, especially to operate in place of or assist regular army troops.
Literally the first Google result lol
Also said (kinda) paramilitary so settle down there guy lol
And literally doesn’t resemble scouts at all. Nothing to settle down. I just think this is a really really stupid comparison.
They have ranks that resemble military ranks (1st class, 2nd class ~ 1st lieutenant, 2nd lieutenant) etc and have a hierarchical leadership structure.
That isn’t an expressly military structure though. For fucks sake, almost every company in the world is hierarchical. The same goes for class, it’s just classification, not military.
Army lets you come in at a higher rank if you have your Eagle rank.

I dunno man sounds a little militaryish to me…
Also were you ever in the scouts?
And you can get into better job positions with it too. It’s still nothing close to paramilitary. And for whatever it matters, yes, I was in scouts from cubs through my Eagle. I’m very familiar with the organization and with the military.
I was also in scouts from cubs through Eagle and I still think it fits the definition of (kinda) paramilitary lol.
We clearly just have different definitions of that word and therefore I’m just going to have to agree to disagree with you.
I guess so, and that’s fine. It’s the internet, we all have opinions and they all suck lol.
