CEO of Palintir: I Didn’t Change. Democrats Changed.

Palintir CEO Alex Karp:

I didn't shift my politics. The political parties have shifted their politics. The idea that what's being called progressive is in any way progressive is a complete farce. I've been progressive since the beginning of Palantir. I am continuing to progress. I grew up in a highly intellectually, intellectual, mostly Jewish, incredibly left wing environment. And every saturday and every Friday, I heard a lecture about how the Conservatives are going to destroy this country with illegal immigration, because it's going to undermine the fabric of the American worker.

That was 50 years ago. That's what it means to be a progressive. And being progressive doesn't mean just oh, it feels so good to be involved in dysfunction, things that can never work. A form of socialism that's never worked. Having no meritocracy. That's not progressive, That's pretend. That's honestly cowardly, and most people, half my old party, knows it. They don't speak up. It's bullshit. It will never work, and it does not help. You know, the biggest problem with that is it's not helping the poor people that they claim to serve. If you think that's helping a black person in the inner city, you're ridiculous. The last thing anyone in this country needs is a dysfunctional educational system and handouts that have never worked and are not going to work.

Tax Funded “Day Cares” in Minneapolis

Looks legit, right? Citizen journalist visits this "daycare" that receives more than $2M/year in tax dollars and 3 angry men call him a racist and demand that he leave. I've seen several dozen of these encounters with tax-funded empty "daycares" in several cities, many of them run by Somalians. In Minnesota alone the fraud has sucked in billions of dollars. At the same time, hundreds of millions of $ of cash has been funneled out of the Minneapolis airport:

Rand Paul:  "We’re at the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of millions in cash were openly shipped overseas through our airports. As Homeland Security Chair, I’m launching an investigation because Americans deserve to know where this money went."

Minority Can Rule: 3.5% of People is Sometimes Enough to Evoke Widespread Change

Can a tiny sliver of people change society.  Yes. 3.5% is often enough.  That's one person out of 30. It's happened often, even if the 3.5% are non-violent, as long as they are a cohesive and disciplined vocal minority:

Why cling to the myth that real change needs majorities—when data spanning a century proves a committed, nonviolent 3.5% has never failed? Erica Chenoweth’s research: Hundreds of movements analyzed. Once sustained participation hits 3.5%—strategic, disciplined, peaceful—success is guaranteed. No exceptions. The Civil Rights Movement nailed it: The 1963 March drew ~250,000 (<0.2% of Americans), but the real power was the unseen network—carpools, sit-ins, daily courage—that turned moral force into unstoppable momentum. Margaret Mead was right: Only small, thoughtful groups ever change the world. Now it’s proven. Key insight: This works beyond activism—in business, innovation, personal growth. Stop chasing consensus. Build your aligned 3.5%. Which movement (or moment in your life) shows this rule in action? What could you shift by focusing on that core minority?
