> Palantir builds software that customers use to work with their own data
After DOGE, a movement Palantir aided [1], I think it's fair for folks to wonder to what degree these firms have been infiltrated by extremists. Someone who will convince themselves that exporting to ICE or the Proud Boys the names of every New Yorker whose medical records say they are gay, circumcised or have had an abortion is legitimately the right thing to do.
Given Palantir's offering is becoming less differentiated by the day, I think it's fair for people to look for alternatives.

> pay our enemies to reveal their secrets to us
Something tells me China has better opsec around such leaks than we do.
"where key decision makers in government have the tantalizing options to make hundreds of thousands of dollars by synchronizing military engagements with their gambling position"
To wit: where key decision makers in government can get paid to reveal war secretes to our enemies.

> interfering in a foreign election should be understood to be grounds for war
Requires a rigorous definition of interference.
The allegations here—trying to catch politicians on tape being sleazy and then releasing them-doesn’t seem to rise to the level of calling for a kinetic response.
> lot of people were called crazy or worse for believing it might be possible
Sorry, when were questions about Slovenia’s voting system considered crazy?

> Afghanistan as well
Sure, if you’re Turkmenistan or Afghanistan, the latter which is being bombed by Pakistan, you’re fine. Also if you’re Azerbaijan, fuck you.
What’s the argument? Like, Oman was trusted by parts of Tehran on diplomatic matters. They still got bombed. Trying to rationalize this is untenable—it was a stupid strategy of throwing toys out of the pram.
> only attacked countries that host US bases, correct?
No. Azerbaijan hosts no U.S. bases. Also, the Gulf hosts U.S. bases in part to protect against Iran. Blowing up hotels while missing American warships underlines why Iran is a shit neighbor.
