I'm thinking if Alex Karp needs a 20+ point fascist manifesto then signing up to work for Palantir may be roughly equivalent to Homer Simpson signing up to work for "Hank Scorpio" of the "Globex Corporation".
but the question that seems to be more on target these days is
"Who here posesses the political will to offer the first push?"
I mean, Jeebus - TIMOTHY SNYDER suggested some months ago when he was "on tour" with Rachel Maddow in Los Angeles that pro-democracy people though doing "great on 'defense'" needed to be MORE ON OFFENSE.
It's not just us little people shrieking into the void hdere, damn
Would a tl:dr translation of their vision be that we should accept the techbros as our masters and never criticize them for being abusers, rapists, and all-around disgusting human beings? Because they're all altruistic in ruling over us, there's no such thing as grift, and they will protect us whether we like it or not?
I keep thinking sweet FSM what a pathetic, pale, ugly, dim world it makes when rancid, mediocre, drooling morons like this dumb as a bag of hammers smug stuffed shirt take power.
βAny business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.β
Core βfuck off and dieβ comment. THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T A BUSINESS AND SHOULDN'T BE RUN LIKE ONE. The measure of success of business is healthy profit; the measure of success of government is good governance. We pay public servants based on their contribution to governance, not to a balance sheet.
Or maybe heβs saying public servants are UNDERpaid? Seems unlikely, since the entire raison dβetre of these fuckers is drowning the government in the bathtub before it cuts into their profitsβ¦
And the release it on the day of the VΓ€derstolstavlan? Thatβs the view of a 22Β° halo over Stockholm in 1535, and if I have to know about it so do you

"you keep using that word 'moral' ... I do not think it means what you think it means."

My counterpoint is called the Giant Mulcher Manifesto.
Yes, well, by all means -- let's see that
Are there no Pits of Despair we can shove these dweebs into?
I think there are ...

We're not supposed to care that they're NOT altruistic

I more-or-less-respectfully submit that the term for having posted something on Xitter should be "Xat."
As in "Palantir's creep-meister has Xat another steaming load of self-adoring autocratic nonsense."

I confess to having had many of these same aspirations. In junior high...
It is just damned dark in here.
Recognizing circumstances for what they are is fucking gutting.
Tolkien Estate to the rescue?
I tried but just can't maybe later π. Hal? Is that you?
Not you Marcie.
