The company that " knows everything about you" is going from strength to strength as war rises and and the so-called "liberal" West turns into a dystopian novel.
in all seriousness, palantir and clearview are way more dangerous than most of the other shit going on out there. only Putin has greater max evil potential (when considering not only politics and military but also Russian Mafia and western politician campaign secret donations).
It’s amazing how Russiagate malarkey and the Ukraine war has people thinking Putin is some cartoon evil mastermind. There is no greater “max evil potential” in the world than the US empire itself, of which Palantir & Clearview are constituent parts.
I 100% agree with you about Clearview and Palantir. Really, 1,000%.
Putin, on the other hand, has passed his peak unless he’s gong to get the nukes out. His potential at this point is simply how much longer he is around to keep perpetuating his “3 day war.” Which is not nothing. The guy needs to go the fuck away, and the US justification for using nukes in Japan was that forcing a surrender via attack against civilian targets prevented a years-long slog and invasion. Well, here we are again. Justify whatever is needed to ensure he falls out a window one day this week. The power vacuum without Prighozin around is just going to revert to 1992 style robber barons anyway. It always would. There’s never been an alternative to that.

That was the US’s public-facing narrative, not its actual justifications. Japan was already ready to surrender at that point, but the US was worried that Japan might surrender to the USSR instead, and the US wanted an unconditional surrender, not one with conditions. It also wanted to scare the living shit out of the USSR, to discourage it from further spreading its influence. And it wanted to test the bomb on a city that had been left intentionally undamaged during the war, namely Hiroshima, for its own nuclear weapons research & development.

theyre basically Albion from watch dogs legion.
The company I work for is using software sold by palantir.
The software itself is benign, and quite clever and useful, but regardless it feels like we’ve made a deal with the devil to me.

🙄, but I’ll only address:
