Billionaire says this. Billionaire says that. I don't give a fuck what this parasite says. Him and others like him will face their reckoning day.

Palantir is a multinational data capture and analytics company.
What exactly is he/it being patriotic to? The US? If so, the company should be banned everywhere else in the world.
Murdering Palestinians with Palantir enabled kill-chains in military networking solutions.
That kind of Patriotism.
What exactly is he/it being patriotic to?
To himself obviously. You can even feel the narcissism coming from his fucking face.
Israel
Leeching off a dying empire with miltech... Now who's the real parasite Alex?
While detractors warn Palantir fuels the surveillance state, Karp argues the company exists to prevent abuses of power—by making the U.S. so technologically dominant it rarely needs to project force.
Does this make any sense at all? Even if they were able to make it the U.S. never needs to "project force", how does that have any bearing on preventing abuse or the U.S. becoming a surveillance state.
Preventing abuse by giving them everything they want, so they don't get mad and start abusing all of the stuff that was just given to them.
Exactly. It's a power move to change the subject. Imagine addressing people's issues... you're just sitting in their domain. You have to change what people are talking about too. He doesn't need to keep defending against X, Y, and Z if we start attacking his idea of "the greater good" and "agentic force projection."
Ah yes, the old slap some, "patriotic" shit on it.
A word I've been tired of for about 20 years now. I remember once all the bush s*** happened after 9:11 in the invasion of Iraq, Patriot became the new badge of honor of morons.
I remember actually having a few conversations or even debates with people over politics and then suddenly they would shout "what, you don't think I'm a fucking patriot?"
What boring dystopia we've been in for the past couple of decades.
There is nothing patriotic about spying on your neighbors, I thought we learned that several times already.
Builds army of surveillance tools
"Stop calling it surveillance" These people would be so funny if they didn't have such a negative impact on millions of people
Violating everyone's 4th amendment rights is unpatriotic
But is it very fascist, and that’s so hot right now.
Disgusting scumbag. Fuck off and die.
Fortune gives Karp soapbox from which to say whatever he wants, unchallenged. Eventually, though, they get to..
Critics—especially civil-liberties groups—have accused Palantir for years of building analytics tools that enable government surveillance. Karp says these attacks rely on caricature, not fact.
Then, at last, they finally demonstrate some journalistic Integrity and rebut his statement with why those groups make those accusations.... Oh, wait, no they don't. They just end the article with one final quote from him that could just as easily have been from Hitler.
“Pure ideas don’t change the world,” he said. “Pure ideas backed by military strength and economic strength do.”
What? Criminal scum complains about being called criminal scum?
I’m getting so sick and fucking tired of people tying earnings potential to whether something is good or bad. Same thing with tying wealth to intelligence. It is so monumentally stupid and shortsighted.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp is sick and tired of his critics
I'm pretty sure that goes both ways.
This company should be dismantled and Thiel and Karp should be arrested for violations of our fourth amendment rights. Treason. Prosecute to fullest extent of the law
Remind me to never let the people I live with buy a ring camera.
I moved out of my parent’s house a couple years ago because of their cameras everywhere. I had zero privacy.
What an asshole. If the same thing that makes your government powerful also makes your government evil, than supporting that thing does not make you a patriot, it makes you a fascist.
Yeah that fucking logic was so goddamn backwards and moronic I couldn’t even stomach it
I used to think I couldn't hate anyone more than Peter Thiel, but I fucking hate this guy so much.
Would it be morally wrong to kill people like this?
If we assess the amount of damage they are doing to society against the amount of benefit they bring .... I think you're in the clear.
I’d argue it’s morally reprehensible NOT to exterminate these parasites.
It's aelf defense since they continue to make decisions that they know will kill people.

Patriotism would be auto finding violations of the constitution and bringing up legal action for every one.
COVID missed a few assholes.
More like no morals makes you rich. Evil and money are on the same side of the coin in this presidency.
Punchable face.
Patriotic nationalism is a religion that worships dirt.
Surveillance can only ever be used for oppression.
Financial obesity is neurotoxic.
FLAG!!!!
Boohoo he's "sick and tired".
Get raped and die you fascist fuck.
Why do they keep reporting what mirror dimension Taika Waititi said?
The guy considers himself a democrat
Let's leverage the full capabilities of these "tools" to stalk, analyze, and publish whatever it finds on this little CEO, and see how "patriotic" he's feeling after like a week.
It's all "smart investing" and "patriotism" as long as it's used on somebody else.
Real patriotism would be mercilessly stamping out threats to The People's life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
Threats that these asshats and their toys embody without question.
By patriotic, I guess he means taking money from Eppstein and Thiel and obtaining further funding from Israel to develop an application that is as unethical as possible? Unfortunately, this bastard is successful because there are influential people all over the world who think this is great - or they get payed to think so.
In Germany, for example, one federal state has just amended its police law to enforce the use of Palantir products against applicable law and, of course, against the will of the population – with the support even of (allegedly) leftwing parties whose voters strongly reject this. Well, you don't need to buy the voters, just a few politicians.
It is truly a shame what representative democracies have degenerated into due to the power of a few very influential and utterly unscrupulous billionaires.
No CEO is needed. He should become a better person and quit.
Fascism and prosperity gospel, both are a circle on the Venn diagram.
This dumb curly headed fuck can suck a bag of dicks.
Gross
PUTS!
Coked up like a child dizzy on lemonade
