I'm sorry, is Palantir a self-sustaining AI with zero human employees?

Or is it a corporation of people that is (I know, try to stifle the laughter) supposed to have at least some morality? I get it. Corporations haven't functioned as any institutional morality since their inception as a legal framework, despite the Supreme Court handing them immortal citizenship with effective privilege over any real citizen.

So far we have:

- masked paramilitary agents chasing down the lowest rungs of "at first they came for ..."

- deployed formal military to democratic cities for intimidation

- cowering, terrified tech CEOs embarrassingly kissing ass

- Threatened, capitulated universities, law firms, and fourth estate tv companies

- Massive amounts of purging of civilian institutions from any oversight

- Purging of military leadership based solely on blind loyalty to the president

- Massive fraud leading to multibillion dollar increase in Trumps wealth

- A supreme court that may as well have been disbanded that has handed unlimited privilege to Trump's executive branch

And waiting in the wings is Palantir-enabled TOTAL INFORMATION AWARENESS of the entire populace.

So back to Palantir, the absolved "just a tech firm" that has been providing turnkey authoritarian control to the US government for decades now. Of course it won't function as any bulwark against the coming storm.

Oh, I think I understand Palantir very well. Anyone that works there should know that you exist to set up totalitarianism. That is your function now. "Homeland defense" and all those weak USA PATRIOT act justifications and funding are now far in the rear view mirror.

Up ahead: Mount Totalitarianism.

Cloak yourself in doublespeak, Palantir.

I have likely marked myself for death.
