Politico: The Tech Right Pivots Left
Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process
Inside Palantir’s Manhattan lair, in an exclusive sitdown with Playbook, Karp — who once criticized the Democratic Party as “totally irresponsible” — deployed the word ‘progressive’ eight times to describe his philosophy while acknowledging Democrats ‘absolutely’ corrected in 2026 enough to win back his support in 2028.
Karp: “I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir— all of our products are essentially progressive.”

“Reactionary Imperialism” is closer to Anti-Imperialism in that its retarded attempts to “go back to the 19th century (or further, maybe even the Bronze Age etc)” it does damage to the institutions of Progressive Imperialism. It is, however, incapable of doing much long-term, it is just a stumbling block.
Something I’ve noticed in this era is how much more they tried to scream like Dennis Lyxzen of Refused after 98’s “The Shape of Punk to Come”— one of the best albums of all time, can remember so vividly having torrented it to my iPod hearing it for the first time in the heat of Disney World Florida waiting for the bus on a family vacation. I was strutting around like a rooster. Couldn’t help it.

His Jesus apparently would not take out a whip & smash the tables of the money lenders demanding an immediate debt jubilee.
James Talarico tells Jimmy Kimmel what he thinks Jesus would say on the floor of the US Senate about food assistance, Medicaid and deportations
“Jesus Christ is the most famous victim of identity theft”
“Scripture tells us that you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse the immigrant. You can't love God and oppress the poor. You can't love God and bully the outcast.”
“I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate?”
“depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family.”
