    Meanwhile, average Britons are fighting over migrants and lgbt. What I find is that none of those politically opinionated on these ever talk about economics. Odd, that people seemed to have talked less about taxing the rich and wealth inequality than before. Gee, I wonder if it’s because surveillance capitalism and techno-feudalism want people distracted from the theft of ordinary people’s wealth by the rich?

      There is nothing evil about palantir as a company or business model. They are a highly skilled big data analytics firm and just ingest clients data and output useful metrics.

      The evil is the client(governments) intention to collect and use this kind of data. Which has nothing to do with capitalism and is only happening due to liberalism being on the way out.

        You clearly know nothing or feign ignorance about its creator/CEO, Peter Thiel, who is evil, with evil intent, and evil aspirations.

          I dont care about some nutcase CEO yapping in vanity interviews. Show me something evil done by the company palantir. The things people are upset at palantir for are things requested by the people voted in to write laws. The criticism should be entirely on them.

        Palantir could refuse to accept the mandate and the money, but they didn’t. So the governments are evil, and so is Palantir

      “Stupid” does not apply here, unless you have an alternative version of reality. Corrupt politicians with no morals will sell the country if they get a cut, regardless of how it might affect those around the world, having only a selfish interest (for reelection purposes and whatnot) in the relative well-being of the citizens. This is logical and expected… they’re not stupid, they’re just amoral, selfish, greedy, unrepenting and inhumane folks. 🤷

    This deal would have been part of the agreements made with the US Administration. Part of the capitulation to illiberal forces.
