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.
...
Karp has never been shy to give his full support to violence that he deems necessary. In a letter to investors from earlier this year, Karp quoted a political scientist to say that the “rise of the West was not made possible ‘by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion… but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.'”

He has also been vocal about his stance against open borders. Karp has repeatedly praised Trump’s immigration policy and offered Palantir’s services to ICE.

“I’m going to use my whole influence to make sure this country stays skeptical on migration and has a deterrent capacity that it only uses selectively,” the Palantir chief said on Wednesday.

3. And there are people that insist that evil does not exist...

I hope the last year has been a true wake up call….

5. IG Farben, Krupp, Deutsche Bank, etc. would enthusiastically agree.

Stop calling us Nazis!

Anyone remotely familiar with authoritarian regimes and capitalism will be able to read between the lines. Human misery and degradation will be calculated into revenue forecasting and cash flow. What a splendid future the right-wing establishment has planned for us!
