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.
I hope this period will be the end of folks whining “ughhh why are you so politicalll”. We’ve got just about every mainstream corporation backing fascism and now outright publishing edgelord manifestos.
Just imagining someone groaning “You don’t gotta be political all the time” and then opening up Google to find they put up the “Restore the Sanctity of the White Race” homepage theme FFS.
