    Dear lord, will this company just fuck off and die already? What do they have on everyone that they can secure these deals? Palantir is already embedded into the UK’s police systems. Scary stuff.

      What they have is money. People sell their souls and that of their countrymen on the cheap.

      They’re embedded in much of the West’s systems. It’s full mask off and I don’t want to hear another word about sUrVeIlLaNcE sTaTeS, gReAt FiReWalL, aUtHoRiTaRiAnIsM until we root it out and politicians, BoD, C-suite are effectively segregated from society in genpop forever, and our money seized and redistributed back to the working class. Or, you know…

      What they have on them is money. Palantir, specifically Peter Thiel, are among those leading this charge, and since their cause is wildly unpopular, they’re hiring their army instead of them enlisting on their own.

      All these people that talk nonsense on TV and YouTube, and have no evident logical consistency while advancing authoritarian thought are paid spokesmen. Notice how washed up celebrities in need of more cash often take a right-wing “heel turn” to get in on grifting the uneducated and uninformed, and the only people talking like them for free are members of the working class that have been fooled. You know they’ve been fooled, rather than genuinely holding those beliefs, because they can never, ever support their reasoning, and nearly always become increasingly agitated when engaged in debate when trying to defend those points only to realize they’re completely unarmed.

      Well I don’t here much about Monsanto any more. So, like maybe its possible? But I’m rereading some Ghost in the Shell and betting more on that type of future
