Don't judge the tech bros on how cringeworthy or clumsy they are. Judge them on their intent
Our reactions to things like this are "hey everyone, this is really dumb. Lol"
It feels good to speak on the ugliness and stupidity and get affirmation others also see how fucked up it is
But there is no protection in that, it's a momentary salve, it doesn't make it go away

Stop laughing. Start fighting
Peter Thiel and Alex Karp's company #Palantir has increased in value by about 6-fold in the past year. Thiel is a Republican and big donor to #Trump and Karp is progressive and a #Kamala supporter, but their intetests align on making money from war and "killing their enemies" as Karp has said before. This bipartisanship is not unusual. Both Democratic and Republican politicians are invested in the company. The Machine is working as designed and their power to surveil and kill people they disagree with is at an unprecedented level. Read more about the company in this NPR article.

Kolumne: Ich habe einmal so knapp wie möglich zusammengefasst, warum deutsche Behörden wirklich auf gar keinen Fall von #Palantir-Software abhängig sein sollten: Weil die Herren dieser Firma Finsterstes im Schilde führen, und das sogar ganz offen sagen. Und Software Macht ist.
