    Lots of people will be happier the day Peter Thiel dies… He’s disliked in the same range as Musk, without having anywhere near the public presence.

      Peter Thiel is one of the many money men that want to privatize everything, dismantle federal government, hand keys to “network states” (company towns but somehow worse).

      Goal is none or self regulation. Maximize profits. They want to shape the world into this hyper capitalistic society and surveillance state. Palantir is just one of those companies in a massive portfolio to fulfill this stupid dream shared by many industrialists.

      Waiting for them to die is the best you can do since you all keep voting for 1 of the 2 parties that serve these oligarchs.

        I tend to vote for the Australian Greens party. They never seem to win the US elections though.

          Oh sorry, had mistaken you for American.
          I’m sure they have at least the same odds of winning the US elections as the American Greens.

    Everyone hates Palantir, but the only difference between them and every other massive tech company, is they started off evil rather than having to work their way up to it.

      Yes but then they worked for Blue MAGA, so they were OK.
      Unlike Snowden who had to run bcs Obama wanted him arrested.

    I would not be surprised if Palantir told Krasnov not to fuck around and disturb their live-fire Ukrainian laboratory.

    I don’t talk back about defense nowadays. Running your mouth just gets you sicker and sicker and on top might be a big hole in your foot.

    If you think the Internet is a haven of free speech, you might not have read the memos.

    I think Palantir is good for America. Aside from the whole eightys scifi hellscape thing.
