And for the record, uh, that project 2025 stuff is heavily plagiarized from the foundations of geopolitics by Alexander Dugan. Look it up.

Why people recommend it

The Foundations of Geopolitics by Aleksandr Dugin is a controversial political science book often described as a strategic blueprint for Russian influence, foreign policy, and disinformation campaigns. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, Ben Bowlin frequently referenced the volume to analyze current international relations and propaganda tactics. Bowlin brought up the book when discussing the intellectual origins of Project 2025, pointing out alleged similarities to Dugin's strategies, and he used the text to examine ongoing debates surrounding the author's relevance in modern geopolitics. Furthermore, Bowlin cited the publication as a guiding manual for Russian disinformation and evaluated how certain United States policies have historically aligned with the strategic goals outlined in Dugin's work. Throughout multiple episodes of the podcast, the host used the book as a reference point for understanding far-right international alignments and the broader mechanics of global political manipulation.
