Just a quick aside on this: ICE’s budget exceeds that of all other federal agencies combined (their budget is equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country). For obvious reasons, this “agency” is likely also Palantir’s biggest source of revenue.
I wonder if that’s a secret police force? I’m from Germany, though - and hey, what do I know about it....

About Palantir?

I’m aware of that - unfortunately.
I meant that ironically, since Germany, of all countries, has a history marked by totalitarian surveillance and oppression due to its Nazi past.
What is happening in the U.S. and what Palantir stands for bears a striking resemblance to the strategies of the Nazis during the Third Reich.
This makes it all the more alarming that even the Germans have clearly learned nothing from history and now want to engage in baseless mass surveillance once again - and to do so, of all things, with Palantir, a dystopian tech giant owned by a self-confessed fascist and enemy of democracy.
Irony detected, all good.
What is happening in the U.S. (...) bears a striking resemblance to the strategies of the Nazis during the Third Reich.
Ain't that the truth.
In 2025 I told my German family that what's happening there right now is very much comparable to what happened in Germany in 1933. They balked, saying I'm exaggerating, but they have changed their mind since.
Palantir is the enemy humanity.
As an American, I DID THIS.
And that's just the USA.
So many countries are infested with decision makers who think it's the bee's knees.
