They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

  • Overall, we rate the Center for Individualism as right-biased based on advocacy for conservative-libertarian principles.

History

The Center for Individualism (CFI) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on promoting individualism, self-reliance, and free-market principles. The organization’s mission is to advance cultural change by empowering individuals to achieve personal and economic ambitions, advocating for limited government and personal responsibility.

Funded by / Ownership

A team of contributors and advisors leads CFI, though it does not publicly disclose its funding sources. The organization is also listed as part of the advisory board for Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation initiative to restructure the federal government to align with conservative policies.

Analysis / Bias

CFI’s content strongly supports right-libertarian ideologies, emphasizing free-market capitalism, limited government, and skepticism toward progressive social policies.

In “Socialism Cannot Work, Not Even in an AI-Driven Economy”, author Raushan Gross argues that socialist economic models are inherently flawed, especially in AI-driven markets, reinforcing the site’s anti-socialist stance.



In “I Became a Libertarian by Learning Three Life Lessons”, the author describes their ideological shift away from socialism to libertarianism, emphasizing free-market success over government intervention.

The site promotes climate and COVID-19 skepticism, as seen in “The COVID-19 Models Are Inaccurate; So Are the Climate Change Models”, which argues that both climate and pandemic models are unreliable, a stance commonly associated with right-leaning and libertarian outlets.

On social issues, CFI takes a strong stance against progressive policies in education. “Woke-e-Leaks: Parents (And Others) Against Marxist Political Activism in the K-12 Classroom” critiques what the site calls “Marxist” influence in K-12 schools, reflecting conservative concerns over education and ideological indoctrination.

Its content generally reflects a right-libertarian perspective, often criticizing socialist policies, progressive education reforms, and government intervention. While CFI offers well-articulated arguments in favor of libertarian principles, readers should approach its claims on climate and public health with caution and be aware of its ideological affiliations with conservative political movements like Project 2025.

Failed Fact Check

  • There are no documented failed fact checks for CFI, but the platform’s skeptical stance on climate science and pandemic models raises concerns about scientific accuracy.

Overall, we rate the Center for Individualism as right-biased based on advocacy for conservative-libertarian principles. We also rate them as Mixed for factual reporting due to one-sided reporting that does not offer counterarguments and skeptical science positions that do not align with the consensus. (D.
