      Palantir employees make Philip Morris employees look like they’re running soup kitchens.

      It’s crazy that someone could be smart enough to work there… and not know they are the baddies.

      Yes, you are that bad guys. You are literally doing things the badguys in shows and movies are depicted doing.

      Don’t worry, they’ll be replaced by fresh college grads who haven’t been infected with empathy yet. Rinse, repeat.

      You’re literally named after the object the bad guy uses in lotr, and now you’re wondering?

      “Tech bros again discover something totally obvious to everyone else”

      Dear Palantir employees, if you can listen to your CEO speak without arriving at that conclusion on your own, your brain is broken. That’s not an insult it’s just biology. Seek therapy.

      Google had a motto “Don’t be Evil”‘ which they changed to “Do the right thing” in 2015,which can easily be interpreted as do the right thing for the company line and stoke holders.

      Well, you named your *internet* company after fantasy corrupted communication equipment, like wtf is everyone supposed to think? Was “Eye of Sauron” already trademarked, or what?

      Mass and invasive surveillance like theirs is antithetical to the spirit of the US constitution (4th amendment), the founders just didn’t manage to predict something like it could be possible.

      I literally turned down a Palantir recruiter in the early 2010s because “what your company is doing is evil and I don’t want to contribute to it”. The recruiter’s voice dropped and they actually stopped trying to sell it, lol.

      There is zero defense for still working there after what the leaders have divulged publicly about themselves and their vision of the future. Nobody that works there is a person with no other options. They’re all top talent, have security clearances and more and would be very sought after. So yes, they are ALL the baddies.

      Is it that they’re a defense contractor with a political manifesto trying to bring about an untra militarized surveillance state?

      You are for now but there’s hope, some of you employees have access we couldn’t dream of. Sabotage it, shut it all down from the inside. They’re gonna boot you when they figure out how to replace you with the systems you helped create.

      I think if you are going to post an article behind a paywall, the polite thing would be to copy it into the comments.

      Oh the company that helped bomb those schoolgirls?

      Well yes, probably very much the bad guys

    34. Themodsarecuntz on

      We named our company after a corrupt magical device that allows you to spy on people.

      Are we the bad guys?

      You are the fucking enemy.

    37. Illustrious_Act_3488 on

      Yes, anyone and everyone who works for Palantir is a bad guy or person.

    45. SomeSamples on

      Just to make it clear. Yes, all your folks work for Palantir are the bad guys. So fucking bad.

    47. Alert_Particular6733 on

      They absolutely are.

      No amount of money is worth being a traitor to the people.
