I wonder when people will stop being scared to speak out. Is it once they lose their job due to stolen data? Is it once Palantir decides they are a threat and they lose their freedom? Is it once they lose their own land? Is it after starting the 10th war?
NoKings is this weekend, millions are speaking out together
Yes. The problem is, it is only this weekend.
1. It's the first of the year, there will be more NoKings
2. There are many more protest besides NoKings
3. Direct Action is better than no action. We only vote once every 1/2/4 years. This helps get people moving, to take their first steps. Case in point, this year I am printing whistles and information
Lol. These NoKings protests are so incredibly pathetic and ineffective. These bunch of airheads standing on the side of a road or bridge with close to non-existent foot traffic so there is not the smallest possibility of them inconveniencing anyone.
What are they even expecting their so called protests to achieve anyway. These people have absolutely no goals or plans to have any. Guess it's a way for them to have an roadside party instead of whinging about politics online lol.
What do you suggest instead?
At the risk of stating the obvious, Black Cube is an actual private intelligence firm that sells spy services [1], while Palantir is a software firm that sells software (even if that software is used by intelligence, gov, etc). You can go spin up a free Foundry instance [2] and test it, and it doesn't have secret buttons to imprison people.

Yes, they are master hackers - they even hacked the scrollbar on their web page.
And yet both these technologies are being used to subvert democracy and suppress opposition… almost like it doesn’t need to be fully automated fascism to be fascistic.
Kind of them to put the evil right in the name.
