Still can’t believe someone decided to name a company Palantir.
I can.
Thiel is on the spectrum, and was bullied for it. But because he was privileged, it couldn’t have been his fault, all the peasants are just stupid. Tolkien was his escape.
Hitler was treated like a prince by his mother, and lost his mind when he was rejected from art school. By the Jews, of course… The Jew part was sarcasm…
Himmler was a D&D nerd who tried to create his own Viking Religion, beheaded subjects to cast a spell where the heads were supposed to speak prophecy, spent a ton of Deutschmarks looking for The Holy Grail, Mjolnir, Gungnir, etc. Magical thinking. Delusional.
Musk pays people to make him look like a “L33t G@m3r” to impress edgelord teenage boys.
Trump wants a military parade to try to impress Putin, Xi, Kim, etc., because he thinks they’re badass, and wants them to think he is.
All of this is narcissism. Which is a psychological defense mechanism against a massive inferiority complex developed in early childhood, due to neglect, abuse, or both.
These people have the emotional maturity of pre-pubescent children. And always will, Which makes them very dangerous, due to having virtually unlimited wealth.
Imagine a child under 10 years old with the wealth and authority to do anything they wanted to you. That’s what we’re dealing with.
And putin was a nobody who started as a useless agent in then soviet part of Germany, then carried a bag after a city’s major and only then, with connections, he was put in power by oligarchs with none of them believing he’d be anything but a doll, until his goblin ego led him to rob, poison or throw out everyone he disliked.
Putin may have started at the bottom, but he’s smart, and competent, and made his way to Premier on his own talent.
I don’t agree with what he’s done, our his suppression on the Russian people, but he earned what he has.
What did he say when Kursk submarine became a grave to many young people?

You can look up exif data and search for the same picture to find exactly none.
I have a pass since I lived there for all of his presidencies unlike you. Sorry if I assume incorrectly, but I feel like you hate your own gvmnt, but at the same time ready to deny me the same right. People downvoted you because my opinion is popular in this /c/, right, and I downvote you because I’m fucking tired that you and the likes deny local voices, of people whose life got progressively worse, not because of geopolitical struggles between different civilizations\ideologies, but because of fucking greed and powerplay of these fuckung functioneers. You’d not like it there. And as a patriot I hate him and try my best to make at least my small circle of people live better.
Even those, who are pro-Putin and pro-war struggle to wrap their mind around the level of idiocy and madness that happens in our society, and it only grows. In, like, just material dimension, this bottle could’ve been priced at 200-250 roubles twenty years ago, and now it’s a bit over 700, while our wages haven’t grown as quick or at all. The same with a street safety since many faced PTSDed drunk soldiers like in the Afghan\Chechen times, neo-nazis having their time with everyone asian-looking like me and general thievery\extortion since many people are beyond the poverty line and get desperate. I’ve already fought with a couple of these dipshits myself as a guy with some experience, and that’s wrong to project my experience onto nation, okay. But I feel like there is a person who should’ve made all these problems if not non-existent, but at least bearable, and all he fucking does is hallucinating about overtaking the world and calling Trumpie for a chat. Thanks for fucking nothing, fuckass.
Bloomcole uses whataboutism to promote russia, putin and nazis in russia. He will try to mask it. He never condemns russia actions but justify them by saying [insert country] is worse and then he try to derail the topic away from russia, putin and the multiple nazi groups in there. There was even a post he was saying how great putin is. He is a known troll and has been banned before. https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected]
Good to know, ty.

The whole premise of NATO extension is fake. Why are you parroting that point, what’s up with that even? At most, it’s defensive equipment, and I don’t see how it hurts us, but as a political bargaining chip, I could’ve demanded something in return for denying our attacking capabilities. I guess, it isn’t even counted, that USSR and then Russia made the same perimeter at it’s border.
Russian nazis, as fringe as ukrainian ones, are more of a problem to me, especially because at one point they’d become the priveleged class (as promised by the Pres himself) and I’d be sent to prison for deleting their noses and kneecaps. I’ve kicked one nose in, and they let it slide in the latter 2010x because the guy carried a fucking swastika. But now they are well-enabled, because nazism is the fundamental brick to the current regime.
As a leftie, I feel myself very uncomfortable, because everything from queer issues to any sort of activism puts a darts circle on your back.
You can’t even spell such things, or someone would snitch on you and ruin your life. That’s the future you’d like?

Would you explain why? I’m not familiar with any reference.
It’s basically a crystal ball from tolkiens works- they can be used to communicate or show different times/places, but they’re not really reliable. (Edit: they’re also specifically vulnerable to being manipulated and used to selectively show misleading but true things if they fall into the hands of very powerful wizards, and Sauron’s use of them has been broadly compared to wartime propaganda, which is actually especially relevant for the type of data mining they do.)
The unreliability is a reason not to name your company after them, but I don’t know if people would be as surprised by the names “crystal ball“ or “scrying pool” or other unreliable magical methods of seeing things.
Thank you!
Of course! It did also just occur to me that they’re also specifically vulnerable to being manipulated and used to selectively show misleading but true things if they fall into the hands of very powerful wizards, and Sauron’s use of them has been broadly compared to wartime propaganda, which is actually especially relevant for the type of data mining palantir does.
It’s like Palantir is actively trying to top the tech company bad karma leaderboard.
I mean, they named themselves Evil Corp
THIEL is obsessed with spying thats why he named after the scrying sphere in lotr.
I dislike the guy, but he’s just obsessed with Tolkien in general. He’s had multiple companies named after his works. Including Mithril, Rivendell, Lembas and Arda.
anduril, dont forget that one, i think that one was drone tech. just like conservatives, he co-opts perverts the meaning of words.
Would you kindly fuck that shit up?
Peter is autistic, openly, and considers it one of his strengths…
Does this have anything to do with the telepathy tapes?
Or iz my tin foil hat on too tight?
