They are bad people doing bad things on behalf of even worse people.

True.

Also important to remember that they can't steal what you don't put in the cloud.

I assume they do sometimes have feelings but it's pretty hard to imagine how people who'd agree to work for Palantir would feel about literally anything other than being highly paid which they presumably enjoy.

Really? I can think of all sorts of personal information that a Palantir employee would not want out there, especially in the hands of an entity with similar ethics and morals of their employer.

For example, what rate of pay would make you not care that someone knows the names of all your children, where they go to school, and the names of all of their teachers? Or where your siblings live? Or the physical location of your mobile phone whenever its turned on? Or your browser history?

This is the MO of every parasite and rapist.... They do bad shit to you, and you can NOt hurt them

Until people figure put thus dynamic, nothing will change.

It is a class war, act like it

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
