The surveillance giant has exploded in value as it’s scored massive contracts from the Trump administration.
Major military contractor and surveillance giant Palantir has posted a chilling manifesto on social media that calls for tech companies like itself to play a larger role in a dystopian future where imperialist and white supremacist powers are unleashed and Americans are increasingly subject to the whims of the surveillance state.
The post contains 22 points it says were summarized from a 2025 book, The Technological Republic, written by Palantir co-founder Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska, head of corporate affairs and legal counsel to the company’s CEO.
The company, also co-founded by Peter Thiel, says that the U.S. should adopt mandatory national military service on a “universal” basis. The military’s needs should be prioritized above all because “the ability of free and democratic societies to prevail … requires hard power,” rather than soft power.
Pete, Pete, Pete…we didn’t ask, you shouldn’t tell. How universal could it be if we are blocking transgender individuals from joining the military?
You (Thiel, not “you”, parent) do realize that from 1993 to 2011, you would’ve been banned from the service too, right?
Although you wouldn’t have served anyway. Obscenely Rich white folk aren’t “universal”.
I’ll be damned if my kids have to serve and die for some billionaire to get a few more billion. Especially at the bequest of a fucking draft dodger.
