If this person were to drown in a shallow puddle humanity would be unquestionably better off

    Sociopath. I hope a roach crawls up his urethra.

    The Palantirs in Tolkien's world twisted and corrupted those who used them into evil, paranoid creatures (like Saruman).

    This seems like life imitating art.

    It wasn't the palantirs themselves, it was the fact that Sauron had one and used to to twist others to his will.

    Wiping Palantir off the face of the earth would contribute substantially to the upward march of humanity.

    Rolling back anti-slavery laws would also be good for business.

    In fact some new laws making anyone whose net worth isn't at least 50 million USD, a property of a randomly assigned mega-corporation, would be amazingly good for business!

    CEO's only say this shit when they've already broken the law. I have no doubt in my mind this dude has committed war crimes.

    Meaning they should just be arrested and charged already, and not by some special agent, but by a rookie cop just barely out of high school and policy academy and it should be their first felony arrest. Make it as humiliating as possible for them.

    Eh, not to be 'that girl' but the context of this article doesn't seem to match the title. What he's saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it's activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.

    His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information...so the government needs to keep paying them.

    Ragebait?

    “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,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.

    Thanks for the additional context, but that's a dumb argument. There is no constitutional ground for these strikes, with or without his bullshit product, because there is no war. They're committing straight up murder which is (still) illegal.

    So? Doesn't mean any crime against him is because of that? What if it turned out Brian Thompson was a closeted homosexual. It doesnt make his killing a hate crime.

    And next they request slave labour to become legal again, right? Because that’s good for business as well.

    it goes both ways, you cant complain if your enemies target civilians or use biological or chemical weapons

    It is hard to argue he isn't correct.

    However.... Wow. It's so shocking to see how happy people are these days to flaunt how evil they are. It's not like evil people didn't exist before, but it's almost like they are celebrated these days.
