“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power

They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

@DeliaChristina if they are saying this, then they have reason to believe that they are untouchable.

@ramin_hal9001 @DeliaChristina

They have been babbling shit like this that totalitarian, genocidal cult bullshit that @gilduran has been reporting on for quite some time now.

Like he says none of this is hard to find you just have to listen to what they say in their own conferences.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ramin_hal9001 @DeliaChristina @gilduran

This is what I've been saying from the start.

They're playing a giant game of chicken because whoever flinches and slows down enough to do anything RIGHT gets out-competed and every means is justified by the "but WE have to win because WE are the good guys who will fix things once we rule you all" ends.

@DeliaChristina These men are such losers in life. Imagine being this sad and small and pathetic. Ooof. We cannot be rid of them (via the ballot box and societal shunning) soon enough.

@DeliaChristina The difference between a mad man on the street and one who lives comfortably is based on wealth and social standing... what im saying is you can't put a suite on crazy and expect it to sound sane. The only issue is that instead of getting him some help and out of the public eye, his close circle want his money, so they will give it credence.

@Gh0stlyM0use
Those guys aren't mad. They have a deeply flawed logic, they are completely disconnected from the real world, they might be evil but they are far from crazy. They are rational in their evil. It's planned and if no one pushes back, they'll keep taking things away to get richer and cater to their peer group.
But they definitely aren't mad
@DeliaChristina

@samuelFRDE @DeliaChristina i dont think they are all insane. Just Peter. But i do understand their end goals are not ones I share.

Guess it's a good thing the tech can't do what he claims, then.

@katrinakatrinka @DeliaChristina and that working class people aren't the toadies for fascism that he thinks they are

@DeliaChristina We need to quickly put all our energy into creating a tool that can destroy society! Otherwise bad guys who are not us will do it first.

Male fascists are always misogynists, and he's a hell of a fascist.

@proscience @DeliaChristina Does that mean it is impossible to have a female feminist fascist?

I suggest you re-read my toot.

Colman Reilly Mar 13

@proscience @JustinMac84 @DeliaChristina though I’m not sure fascism is compatible with anything any feminists who recognise as feminism. Cf terfdom.

@spocko @DeliaChristina What in the almighty HAIL is he saying?

@thepoliticalcat @spocko @DeliaChristina I think he's upset because Female Speak Gud And He Disrupt But Not Can Speak?

@spocko thank you.

Hearing the words spoken is much more meaningful. The post by @DeliaChristina no longer has my boost.

Because Disqus can be problematic, here's a plain text copy of your transcription:

I knew nothing about Alex Karp until today. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Karp> is enlightening.

@grahamperrin Thank you SO MUCH FOR THE PLAIN TEXT TRANSCRIPTION!
Question, how does the pastebin set up work? I could have done that for the whole transcript if I knew how it works, how long it lasts & how links.
I wanted to put the transcription in the Alt but it was 218 characters too long.

The Janx Devil Mar 13

@spocko I don’t think those comments make any more sense with the context than before. The dude is just wrong about how technology intersects with social dynamics. It just doesn’t work the way he shows he is thinking it works. Nothing works that way.

@janxdevil I agree. When I posted that I was thinking about how people with money & power who have a certain world view will push to make it come true.

The Janx Devil Mar 14

@spocko Sure. And that’s bad. No question. But at least we can avoid succumbing to the mistaken belief that they can ever succeed. They’re just wrong. Stupid, bigoted and wrong, but they’re not going to succeed in doing the impossible.

@spocko @DeliaChristina What a fucking timeline

@mojala Agreed. I posted this image of a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud back in 2016 & I wrote

"Do we have to wait until Trump launches a nuke until we fix this timeline?"

After Biden was elected I thought we had stopped that timeline.

But we re-elected Trump so I recreated the image.

@DeliaChristina

@DeliaChristina honestly, it's not shocking at all. Of course they think this way

@DeliaChristina

I am always surprised at how stupid these tech titans are. I mean, obviously they're good at something. Baffling investors with bullshit being a top skill. But truly, as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Colman Reilly Mar 13

@jawarajabbi @DeliaChristina no, they’re not especially good at anything. They got lucky at a time when someone had to and they’re riding on the proceeds of that and the assumption that they got rich by special merit.

The Janx Devil Mar 13

@DeliaChristina I would be even more alarmed if his train of thought in the matter made any sense, but it doesn’t not even a little bit, so it seems pretty easy to classify it as ordinary banal misogynistic delusional thinking. His forecast is predicated on complete bullshit and should be discounted completely. He’s an asshole, and that’s bad, but that’s all there is here, I think.

GhostOnTheHalfShell Mar 13

@DeliaChristina

he’s fucking lying. These assholes are perfectly clear that what they are interested in is totalitarian power where they run their little city states controlled by mass surveillance in automated kill chains.

It’s a fucking lie for him to say that working vocational working men are going to be better off.

Again, for the people in the back of the room, rights are being determined by wealth. Check your net worth if it’s not nine figures you don’t count along with the rest of us

Thought I have is this guy passionately hates his mother

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Karp#Early_life_and_background

Alex Karp - Wikipedia

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeliaChristina He should hate his stylist. Good Lord.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @DeliaChristina Also this stood out like a screaming red flag:

At each [institution], he would think, "I can navigate this place, but I am not a part of it."

Guaran-damn-tee you he has thought this way about every organization he's been through his entire life. In the machine, but not of it. Manipulating things from within for his own benefit. A completely different class from his so-called "peers." Palantir is more of the same.

Pure jackassery. It's a coping mechanism for formerly bullied kids who decided they WOULDN'T fit in. Rewriting the narrative to make themselves the heroes.

@DeliaChristina I don't see how anyone could have ever thought a company named fucking Palantir wouldn't be pure evil. Eagerly looking for new companies named Skynet and Luftwaffe to announce their next product: The death star.
