Meanwhile my dad: ‘you should really invest in this company Palantir’…

My brother is a total Palintir supporter because he sees his stocks rising. I tell him he’s supporting evil but he says their CEO is a Democrat and has nothing to do with Thiel🙄. Like most Americans he’s ok with evil if it pays well.

The CEO is insane. He apparently self-describes himself as a socialist but is the highest paid CEO on earth and fantasises about dumping cyanide-laced urine on people protesting state-backed brutality

That’s insane for someone calling themselves a socialist lmao

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Bro misspelled National Socialist

Fentanyl.

Fentanyl laced urine.

That's what he said.

Its basically a modern update on how the CIA would just dose their coworkers with LSD, but much more overtly weaponized.

... I am fairly sure that that would count as a war crime, if done on a battlefield.

90 years ago: buy Hugo Boss and Mercedes

If you did and held for say 30-40 years you would have an amazing return on investment.

Funny how a government can fail, but the corporations keep going

It's almost as if society has fully/mostly shifted to a full-fledged Corporatocracy...

Who could have possibly predicted this?
