At best thats wierd, at worst he's an actual fascist
(context: Oswald created and ran the british union of fascists in the UK, married the diana mitford with both Goebbels and Hitler present. )
Interesting.
Mosley's speeches are not common knowledge. For example if you reference "rivers of blood" someone who's vaguely knowledgable in British politics will have a basic understanding of the reference. (Enoch Powell)
if you said "Hurray for the black shirts" someone might know you're talking about the daily mail's endorsement of Mosely. But thats the Dailymail, not Mosley.
But if you say "britian first speech" you'll get blank looks. Even if you're a politics nerd.
So for someone who is pretty uninterested in british politics, to memorise a speech from oswald mosley, is deeply fucking weird. Now, if that had been some politician like Lloyd George or Disraeli, you know someone who was actually a good orator, still weird, but not much else.
To memorise a speech from a fascist, who married a fascist, organised a fascist party, was interred for being a fascist, and tell it back to the grandson of that fascist, who you employed mainly because he's the grandson of the fascist, is big fucking tell that he's a bit fascist.
The 1939 Mosley speech at Earls Court was an antisemitic, fascist, anti-parliament speech framed as a call for peace with Nazi Germany and for authoritarian national renewal. Karp quoting it in an interview isn’t evidence of sympathy; it fits his reputation for provocation rather than any shared ideology. The speech itself is a clear example of populist authoritarian rhetoric built on grievance, elite conspiracy, and rejection of liberal democracy.
Fascinating that Karp reportedly recited part of the speech to Mosley’s grandson, did some tai chi, left without a goodbye, and then hired him to run Palantir’s UK operation.
The speech text is online, but I’m hesitant to link it directly given sensitivities around perceived extremist material and online moderation in the UK.
I'm british, fuck that. Read it here:

Also I'd recomend reading it, rather than getting a summary. because you need to see the banality of what he's asking for, and how tame (sadly) it is compared to currently pricks like Jenrick and Farage are asking for now.

recited from memory Again, at best its deeply weird, ungenerously its a power play, at worst is someone who's fascinated by fascism.

They want to establish cities that are exempt from most US law and regulation (or whatever host country they leech on to), giving the company that owns the city basically complete power over everything and everyone that has the misfortune to be there.
The US recently pardoned a major narco-terrorsist in the hopes of propping up the Honduran experiment.
I'll preempt anyone else: Yes I probably exaggerated a bit in how I described the idea. Still, these assholes are working to eliminate wages, labor laws, environmental regs, property ownership, etc.
