Palantir CEO and Trump ally Alex Karp is no stranger to controversial (troll-ish even) comments. His latest one just dropped: Karp believes that the U.S. boat strikes in the Caribbean (which many experts believe to be war crimes) are a moneymaking opportunity for his company.
At the New York Times’ DealBook Summit on Wednesday, Karp was asked about the worries over the unconstitutionality of the boat strikes.
“Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product."
This is bond-level villainy.
Too many Lex Luthors walking around these days.
Apparently free speech is when you can’t criticize Israel but can advocate for war crimes.
Free Speech is when you have money and the more money you have the more free your speech is.
Crazy to even talk about “Making War Crimes Legal”, as though this is anything more than a bureaucratic speed bump for the Thielist Techno-Theocracy.
Those monkeys would kill the shit out of the hoarder long before scientists got a hold of it.
that monkey that loses its shit for equal pay lives rent free in my mind.
Scientists would study that monkey
Well, jokes on the scientists. We’ve killed most of the primate population and now we’re moving on aggressively to the homo sapiens sapiens. So no more monkeys. No more bananas. And the scientists are on notice.
Slavery was pretty good for business too I hear.
This dude has got to be trolling otherwise he needs to be put in a mental institution.
He’s really unwell. His view of the world is a clear and present danger to it.
Carp, Thiel, Musk, Vance and a bunch of these douchebag technofascists subscribe to this really nonsensical philosophy called “dark enlightenment “ it’s basically just the feudal system with mass surveillance and AI to enforce it. They openly advocate for the dismantling of democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment
basically china
Well china has lifted 800 million people out of poverty and these men want to force most of us into poverty or worse because they’re literally fascists
So the ends justify the means? If that’s the case then you basically agreed with these evil cunts because they claim their goals are for the good of people. They are dumb but they aren’t describing a dystopia any more than China is a dystopia.
Personally i wouldn’t go down the chinese route and kill 100 million people just to have the dogshit human rights, labour rights and environmental regulations and go from 50c to $1.20 a day.
DHS has literally said they plan to get rid of 100 million people. Stephen miller has talked about it and project 2025 has too.
Ok but you’d be ok with that since the ends justify the means to you.
Dude seriously American capitalism has killed way more than 100 million. Your Chinese strawman isn’t an effective argument. Especially when we’re constantly starting wars all over the world and literally bankrolling a genocide.
I think what these men want is much worse
China invests in infrastructure these tech douchebags are welfare queens extorting the American taxpayer to the detriment of our infrastructure. China has universal healthcare. China has affordable housing and affordable food. These techdouchebags don’t want to invest in any of that they want a permanent slave class and the pedophile oligarch class. China literally executes people like this. What we are facing is much much worse and American capitalism has killed well over 100 million people
Part of it is to get into the media.
Ill bet my nuts that this guy is on drugs.
Not saying someone should assassinate this guy. But man would it be convenient for someone to off this guy.
Also he has meth teeth. Bro is a drugo.
34th Rule of Acquisition: War is good for business.
Do we need a purge? One day per year for doing something about the CEO problem?
He created a company named after the evil wizards spy glass, he is not subtle about his villainy

Blowing up unarmed fishing boats is not a “constitutional question” it’s a straight-up criminal act. War crimes are well-defined, so there’s no wiggle-room about what one IS.
The problem with constitutional immunity is that it protects indiscriminately. And presidents are using it to commit acts of barbarism rather than as necessary acts to protect national security.
War crimes are well-defined, so there’s no wiggle-room about what one IS.
It’s not a war crime actually. A nation state cannot declare wars on individuals under which the war crime would come about. Article 7 of the Rome statute (The UN thing that defines war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, etc.) defines blowing up civilians as a crime against humanity.
Jesus fucking Crapcakes.
Are we VC funding target lists because it’s illegal to pay for them?!
Does this guy ever stop and think, “the shit I say is fucking horrible and makes me look like an irredeemable asshole?”
With his shitty hair style, probably not.
Also: Does Palantir have a PR department to tell him how this stuff reflects on the company? Cuz it’s baaad.
I’ll find myself nodding and agreeing with so many of his values in the first half but then there’s this sudden hard left like whoa what, chill for a sec man
