Chuck Darwin<p>Revealed: far-right figures try to create white nationalist ‘haven’ in Kentucky</p><p>A venture fund and a real estate startup – both with links to far-right organizations – are promoting a residential development in rural Kentucky as a haven for fellow rightwingers.</p><p>The promoters have presented the planned development as an “aligned community” for rightwingers who want to “disappear from the cultural insanity of the broader country” and “spearhead the revival of the region”.</p><p>The move is the latest effort by the far-right to establish geographical enclaves, following in the footsteps of movements like the so-called “🔹American Redoubt🔹”, which encourages rightwingers to engage in 👉“political migration” to areas in the interior of the Pacific north-west.</p><p>But the underlying finances of land offerings associated with the “♦️Highland Rim Project♦️” (HRP) in Kentucky suggest that buyers will pay a steep premium for living in a remote ideological enclave, while the scheme’s promoters are set to collect tidy profits after making few apparent improvements to the land.</p><p>The development was announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, and in a special edition of the New Founding by 👎Joshua Abbotoy👎, who is managing director of venture fund❌ New Founding❌ and principal of real estate developer "Kentucky Ridge Runner LLC" according to company records.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/rightwing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rightwing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/americanredoubt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>americanredoubt</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hrp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hrp</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PoliticalApartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalApartheid</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/abbotoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abbotoy</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/NewFounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewFounding</span></a><br> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/20/kentucky-far-right-community-real-estate-development?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2024/j</span><span class="invisible">an/20/kentucky-far-right-community-real-estate-development?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
