Alex Karp, the CEO of the data-analytics giant Palantir, has taken a firm stand against the 'woke' consensus, publishing a 22-point manifesto that has garnered over 30 million views.

Karp, who leads a firm deeply embedded in critical UK infrastructure—including the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, and various police forces—openly challenged the prevailing progressive dogma that all cultures are equal.

In his viral post, Karp argued that some cultures produce 'wonders' while others remain 'regressive and harmful,' criticizing the West for sacrificing its own national identity on the altar of inclusivity.

He further advocated for a return to 'hard power' and universal national service, warning that the age of nuclear deterrence is being supplanted by AI-driven military superiority.

While Karp’s firm provides essential 'plumbing' for complex data sets, allowing the NHS to address decades of administrative inefficiency and supporting NATO’s 'kill-chain' technology, his blunt assessment of Western decline has triggered predictable pearl-clutching from the academic establishment.

Critics, including those at Edinburgh University and activist groups like Medact, have attempted to frame Karp’s common-sense defense of national sovereignty as a threat to democracy.

Despite these attempts to politicize essential government contracts, the UK government continues to rely on Palantir’s expertise to speed up cancer diagnoses and maintain naval readiness.

While some politicians have distanced themselves from Karp’s personal rhetoric, the reality remains that Palantir’s technology is an indispensable asset for national security and public service efficiency in an increasingly dangerous world.
