Wyden, Ocasio-Cortez Demand Answers from Palantir About Plans to Build IRS “Mega-Database” of American Citizens

Aaannd...

Just exactly what will fucking happen when Palantir tells y'all to fuck right off (with the backing of this attempt at an administration)???

Fuck all is exactly what will happen. 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ 💩

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 12 hours ago

It's already happened.

Palantir says “Fuck off,”.

More like:

"Should we publish your search results, that text with your affair and have your teenager arrested for his drugs? No? Then come over to the office on Friday at 4 PM and suck our dicks. We mean that literally by the way. Brush your teeth beforehand."

If they don't comply, the Dems are going to SLAM and BLAST them with slightly strong language, but no swearing allowed and no actions.

Strongly worded letter coming up

Well, some are, and be formally condemned by the rest of the party for breaking decorum

Of all the red lines we’ve crossed so far, this one almost feels like small beans. The standard has gotten very out of whack in a very short time.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 8 points 12 hours ago

Should it be? Yep, along with countless other things people have just let go.

However if folks don’t wake the fuck up soon it really won’t matter.

And yes, I know about the “No Kings” rallies and 3.5% and all that - just ping me when there are actual CHANGES resulting from it.

I believe the holocaust museum calls these sorts of lists the point of fight now or die one by one

If you ever registered democrat (or any left-of-center party), you are probably already a list of people that they will murder

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

I'll take as many pigs with me as I can.

I registered Republican but vote liberal, my goal was to mess up gerrymandering, but I dunno.

Is your state Open Primary? Because otherwise you can't vote in the democratic primary, which mean that, in-turn, you can't vote to fix the terrible candidates that the dems have been nominating.

And even in an Open Primary state, I think you have to specifically request the democratic primary ballot, which means there will be a record of that request.

Sternly Worded Letter incoming.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

If they're talking about it openly, I bet it already exists

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

[–] MysteriousSophon21@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir's Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

This is an awfully "big government" move from the small government crowd.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 hours ago

Karp + Musk + Thiel + Vance + Trump = 💩

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

90s were such a fruitful time for art, really.

Everything happening I've seen predicted in Star Wars EU, they are literally building the Empire the way it existed there (not this particular article, but the whole moment of history around us).

But somehow I don't feel too happy about owning trekkies.

Dems pretend to matter.
