About
Raz the Rational
Founded Demorats.org 2025
Execution over ego.
The work centers on shipping usable tech and field kits for groups that defend democratic norms.
Think: clean interfaces instead of clever speeches, road-tested ops instead of mood boards. The measure of success isn’t applause; it’s whether a community can act quicker, safer, and smarter tomorrow than it could yesterday.
The tone is practical, the vibe is playful, the output is tangible.

Pro-democracy,
no f*ckin apologies!

For years, Raz has stood squarely against Trumpism and the broader slide toward authoritarianism. This is not a fandom. It’s maintenance, craft, and civic engineering: build the thing, test the thing, deploy the thing where it helps the most.
A name that crosses wires—and cultures.
The name Rasenzwerg comes from the German word for "lawn gnome" and is a deliberate nod to James Zwerg, the civil-rights activist whose courage and strength helped bend history.
It sounds disarming—chubby, trustworthy, friendly—but there’s a sharpened edge hidden in the grin.
The name is an invitation across cultures and timelines, a reminder that the bravest ideas often wear strange outfits, and that genuine good is too often dragged into culture wars and spun into something it isn’t.
Raz embraces the remix: serious purpose, silly wrapper, results over theatrics.

Why Raz, why now?
Authoritarianism thrives on confusion and fatigue.
Raz answers with clarity and momentum: shipable code, repeatable tactics, and protective infrastructure for people doing the hard work of democracy.
The mission is larger than any character—to prove that care, craft, and cross-cultural respect can still outwork the outrage machine.
