Swedish police have been secretly using Palantir's AI tools for atleast five years to profile citizens, pulling data from BankID, phone operators, social media. When journalists asked for documents, police refused, citing "national security."

This is Palantir. The company a UN report accused of being complicit in Gaza genocide. The one tracking immigrants in the US, building registers of British citizens' sex lives and political views.

They're using tools from that company on Swedish citizens and won't even admit it exists. National security is being used to justify mass surveillance and it pisses me off.

What is the world turning into? Is this what we want for our kids?

"And essentially they're capturing, they're just capturing everything, capturing democracy, spending, you know, Elon Musk spent over $200 million, almost $300 million, excuse me, to try to get Trump elected, spent over $20 million in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race."

Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @gilduran to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.

Listen to the full episode: https://techwontsave.us/episode/303_peter_thiel_is_the_real_antichrist_w_gil_duran

"Yesterday, I published an article that began:

'Welcome to the Great AI Bubble, a metastasized trillion dollar tech tumour so massive it’s practically visible from space.'

And today, in a strange bit of timing, news lands that Peter Thiel - the closest thing the modern world has to a real-life Bond villain - has dumped his entire holding in Nvidia, the chip manufacturer."

"Information flows through platforms owned and controlled and manipulated for their ends by these same men. And shocks to the system are exactly what the disaster surveillance capitalists want."

Wie kann man "zum Schutz der Demokratie" eine Software von jemandem kaufen, der das erklärte Ziel hat, die Demokratie abschaffen zu wollen?

Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist. What actually is the Antichrist?

By the ninth century, influenced by the Christian idea, Islam and Judaism each had their own Antichrist figures who would come at the end of history.

#CapitalistRealism exposed: This email isn't a prediction of #socialism; it's an autopsy of late #capitalism. #PeterThiel identifies the system's fatal flaw: when people can't own anything, they stop believing in ownership itself. He’s not forecasting a revolution; he's stating a simple, brutal equation: no stake in the system equals no faith in the system. This email is one of the most quietly revealing artifacts of the entire post-2008 era.

An email from Peter Thiel dated January 5, 2020, discussing Millennials' attitudes toward socialism. Thiel argues against dismissing their views and suggests understanding the economic challenges they face, such as student debt and housing affordability. Addressed to Mark Zuckerberg, Nick Clegg, Antonio Lucio, Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen.

"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop: #Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → #thestate feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — #privatizedsovereignty."
