In France we have people on far-right billionaire-funded yet widely popular TV channel openly advocating for the adoption of ICE tactics.

We’ve also already got special administrative prisons with inhumane conditions for undocumented migrants for a while. Likewise, on paper, the far-right has never participated in any government since 1945.

Let’s not forget that the EU has delegated arbitrary arrest and violent policing of migrants to other states for quite a while now.

Dark times ahead, we need to fight now, but, indeed, also prepare for a worsening of the situation.

Yes, and don’t forget a bunch of EU countries just signed up with Palantir too. So it’s definitely coming to Europe. I think they’re trying to separate us Americans that disagree with this from the rest of the world so we have no one.

This is a global class war. Of course they’re going to pick out the big target. If they succeed in isolating us the rest of the western world is easy pickings.

Oh yea, Palantir. Reminds me that Thiel will be doing a conference in Paris soon 🤮.
