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.

      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

            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.

              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

    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.
