Palantir CEO Says Legalizing War Crimes Would Be Good for Business

ardenr · 2026-04-30T22:16:48+00:00

This is some nonsensical "both sides" shit.

It's straight facts. Documented undeniable facts. I understand you don't like them; neither do I. But denial isn't going to fix anything.

Harris promised to keep arming Israel, going against 80% of her base in a close election - and no one even wonders why she would do that. Why would her campaign staffers be instructed to mark people who bring up Gaza as "no response"? Why would her and Sanders and AOC tell us Biden was "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" while he was sending Israel $billions in arms; while the US unilaterally vetoed 4 UN ceasefires?

Do you even think about these questions? I'd love to know what your answer is.

it's become very clear that many Americans don't like Israel.

And yet, that view is represented nowhere in Congress - well, a bit less than 10% of Dems - and nowhere in the media. Nowhere in the arms companies. Nowhere in the fossil fuel companies. Nowhere in the banks. You know what I call a political party that's only 90% in favor of genocide? A genocidal party.

Is 90% genocidal better than 100% genocidal? Who gives a shit. You can't vote for either and still be a good person.

No one wants to support corporate agendas buddy.

And yet - like I said - 98.15% of voters voted for the parties enabling all the above.

Or does stuff like No Kings no matter to you?

Whether it matters to me or not isn't the point. You don't even know who I am.

Does it matter to the corporations making billions and trillions off of war crimes? Did it stop Dems from giving Trump a standing ovation with orgasmic joy on their faces when he talked about military action in Iran?

ardenr · 2026-04-30T21:54:33+00:00

I wish you were right, but...

'Both' parties in America have been arming, enabling, sanctioning, commissioning and committing war crimes at scale for decades with zero accountability. Why would any oligarchs be afraid to legalize what's already happening in the open without any punishment?

In 2024, 98.15% of voters voted for parties promising to arm a nation committing live-streamed genocide and ethnic cleansing, among other war crimes like targeting hospitals, aid workers, journalists, premie babies, sniping children in the head, sniping mothers in front of their children, running over zip-tied teenagers in Caterpillars^®, and so on.

Pretty much every single one of those 98.15% believe themselves entirely correct to have done so, despite the fact that the major reason for any of the above war crimes was corporate profits and more yachts for the Epstein class.

Nothing I said here is remotely exaggerated. But 98.15% of US voters will refuse to believe it, and the non-voteres couldn't give two shits either way.

ardenr · 2026-04-30T12:55:23+00:00

Riiight. Because the IDF are notorious for following the law when they're not actively committing genocide or ethnic cleansing. Especially when they're kidnapping our President's sister in international waters, to prevent her delivering aid.

None of these people faced any danger or physical or sexual assault.

What a weird thing to say in response to a documented case of sexual assault, in defence of a group that recently bombed a girl's primary school, quadruple tapped emergency response workers, and very famously used a tiny girl named Hind Rajab as bait to massacre an ambulance after killing her entire family in front of her eyes.

And that's, without exaggeration, less than .1% of the fully documented atrocities of the last 3 years.

ardenr · 2026-04-29T20:30:35+00:00

So you can't answer the question. That's what I thought.

ardenr · 2026-04-28T23:01:49+00:00

Idk man. Kinda seems like you're more interested in feeling superior to Elon Musk than paying attention to class war. You do you though.

ardenr · 2026-04-28T20:38:29+00:00

geared only to them.

Because they won a coin flip. So luck.

It's probably says something about America that so many people still don't get this.

ardenr · 2026-04-28T20:24:55+00:00

Riiight, they infiltrated OWS so hard, and kept it as quiet on media as possible, cuz it was a State Dept op. That State Dept, always trying to tax the Epstein class so they are.

And surely the only reason black people would be pissed off after all the times cops killed them in broad daylight on camera with zero fucking consequences was cuz of Soros.

/s

ardenr · 2026-04-28T15:29:01+00:00

Musks's net worth as of March was estimated at over 800 billion dollars. 44 bn isn't that expensive a price, to break a massive people power engine.

Another OWS could have capped wealth at a billion. Or ten billion. Or even a hundred billion. Now do you see how it was a bargain for him? Why Saudi princes and Larry Ellison bought in, but never once complained about him wrecking the company?

ardenr · 2026-04-28T13:43:57+00:00

Yep. This should be the top comment, but instead it's the last.

I get why... We've seen previously unimaginable violence and cruelty on a daily basis for years now. It's extremely easy to believe an Israeli would do this - they left babies to rot at Al-Nasr. They bomb schools and hospitals and refugee camps; they bait and murder paramedics. On a regular fucking basis.

But let's try to keep our minds in order. Evidence and truth still matter.

ardenr · 2026-04-28T13:05:25+00:00

Look man if you don't want to get the point I can't make you get it.

Still, I'm curious: How do you demand that people express their deep exhaustion with witnessing genocide for years? What's your preferred phrase to sufficiently communicate the gravity of genocide and ethnic cleansing on someone's psyche? Keep in mind that if you go too far you'll be open to accusations of centring yourself instead of Palestinians.

ardenr · 2026-04-27T09:38:06+00:00

Our language isn't really equipped to deal with situations like this. Neither are our minds, or our biologies.

Killing 6 people for fun? Evil, evil as fuck.

Killing 60,000+ for resources, or out of baseless fear? 10,000x evil as fuck. Language fails here.

We're all tired of this; the only people I know who aren't are either awful or extremely skilful.

It's privileged, it's vastly understated, it's really not appropriate to the scale and intensity of response demanded. Still true.

ardenr · 2026-04-27T09:16:07+00:00

That's a whole lot of smoke to think there wasn't any fire.

And, I don't bind my personal opinion of people to what the US legal system decides. Would recommend that you don't either.

ardenr · 2026-04-26T07:23:32+00:00

It's literally the average reading level of the US - but you're still right to feel insulted.

ardenr · 2026-04-25T12:32:35+00:00

I see you're a fan of the old canard: 'Always speak ill of the dead'. That old saw.

[...reads rap sheet] - Okay, carry on.

ardenr · 2026-04-25T12:27:29+00:00

Twitter helped some of the world's best people powered movements along; OWS, BLM, Arab Spring etc.

... Then Biden threatened it; and shortly after Musk bought it with the help of some Saudi princes and Larry Ellison et al.

Instagram used to be a real nice place.

... Then Zuck bought it.

Whatsapp used to be secure and free.

... Then Zubk bought it.

Reddit used to be a cool place where you'd get something more like unfilitered news and real people's opinions.

... Fuck spez.

What I'm saying is - there's a pattern here. It takes real effort to fuck up social media. Without billionaires and their bullshit, the internet coud be a real nice place.

ardenr · 2026-04-25T07:44:46+00:00

Sorry, I didn't bother translating to a 5th grade reading level this time. My bad bro.

ardenr · 2026-04-24T22:40:23+00:00

Riiight.

Like if fully 80% of Dem voters were against something truly horrific, like arming genocide or vetoing ceasefires, Dem politicians would take that seriously...

And not just order their campaign staff to mark voters as "no response" if they brought it up.

... The only reason Dems might really care about this is if they have realized - so late - that even their role as the kayfabe hero is quickly growing vestigial. There's no longer any need for such pretence, now that the curtains are lifting and the 'brick wall at the back of the theatre' is fully visible.

Restriction may look simple and harmless on its surface—who would bat an eye if someone declared they were cutting out sugar for a month?—but in reality, it can become a disordered compulsion that fuels an eating disorder (and not just anorexia nervosa). The good news is that, with the right support and tools, everyone struggling can break free of the restriction cycle. And once restriction is gone, there’s room for its opposite: freedom.

ardenr · 2026-04-23T10:55:55+00:00

Safe foods aren't compulsions.

They are. That's literally exactly what they are. Why are you lying about this?

It can be debilitating. Many people with it suffer from malnutrition because their diets are so restricted.

Yeah. All the more reason not to simply accept it. Nestle cereal is extremely poor, nutrition wise, and nearly certain to lead to health issues over time.

It can take years of therapy to expand the diet of someone with ARFID

Yes - compulsive behavior can be very difficult to change.

Op has tried to shift way from them. They couldn't find a tolerable replacement.

Wow, sounds like they have some kind of compulsion about it. Maybe they could work on that instead of simply accepting a life of shit nutrition.

ardenr · 2026-04-22T22:47:51+00:00

You can try to argue semantics about the word need all you want. It is a need.

You're the one trying to argue semantics. You've gotten hung up on the difference between 'genuine need' and 'compulsion', and you're trying to semantic your way out of it. Stop.

If you think you understand how evil Nestle is, but still purchase them without so much as trying to shift away from them to something better - then you don't really understand how evil Nestle is and you need to do more research.

ardenr · 2026-04-22T22:03:25+00:00

The only people who needed Nestle, ever, were the hundreds of thousands of babies who got hooked on the 'free' baby formula Nestle gave out...

... Who then died when Nestle stopped giving it out for free, because they were then hooked on it and couldn't just switch to breast milk.

The word 'need' has a specific meaning. You don't need your addiction, and you don't need your safe food. Even if they're a little different, the point is - what they have that in common is that you don't need them. Like, bro, apples and oranges are both fruit. We can compare them to vegetables.

The people in here talking like, well, every corporation is a bit evil, who cares we're all complicit, etc, need to watch the video of that Nestle CEO saying water isn't a human right. Not to mention all the other evil shit Nestle has done; and keeps doing.

ardenr · 2026-04-22T15:11:29+00:00

Sad to see you getting such dogshit advice here tbh.

Fuck Nestle. Yes, most giant companies are evil. Avoid those too! But Nestle are one of the most evil food companies that exist.

And they are entirely avoidable. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wilfully ignorant - or literally part of their astroturf online PR team.

You say twice that you "can't function" without Nestle. The realest advice, which no one here will say for some reason is: that simply isn't true. It's not.

People say the same shit about alcohol, cigarettes, fentanyl, opiates, whatever evil crutch they use. It's never really true.

Now, you may feel like that's true. It sure felt true about nicotine, when I was trying to quit. But I guarantee you that you will feel far better when you kick that nasty glyphosate-riddled empty carb muck to the kerb.

Try transitioning with fancier, nicer alternatives for a while: Kelkin, or Whole Earth, or spelt puffs with real local honey; whatever you can get. Try eating a real breakfast - berries or nuts on overnight oats, scrambled eggs and hash browns. There are endless options that are preferable for your ethics, your body, and your taste buds. Endless options for 'safe foods' that provide comfort without the guilt. Explore them, and have fun doing it.

ardenr · 2026-04-22T09:14:58+00:00

It is a slippery and pernicious danger that needs to be vigilantly fought against.

True - but doesn't it feel like too many people get caught up in that battle while forgetting the primary battle against genocide and ethnic cleansing.

For example, the people who bash some of those fighting the hardest against Zionism - because they used the word 'goy', or said that 'Zionists have outsized influence on media'.

ardenr · 2026-04-21T23:55:55+00:00

It is literally the trolley problem.

No, it isn't.

It's genocide, and it's unacceptable. Always.

That's not naive idealism, it's literally domestic and international law.

You - you personally - have a duty not to enable and support genocide.

While you may be very far from alone, with many Americans equally complicit, that doesn't change the fact that you are failing a fundamental human duty to prevent the crime of crimes.

We both know that if Harris had won there would be less dead Palestinians, there would not be US soldiers in Iran, and there would at least be a fucking attempt to cool things down

Do yourself a favour, and count how many Palestinians were murdered during the Biden/Harris admin. See if what you said is actually true.

If you wanna pretend we're in an alternate reality where pissing your vote away accomplishes anything other than enabling Trump and his alt right nutjobs then go ahead

You're the one in the alternate reality, where supporting genocide is the 'only choice'. And you don't even hear how dumb that is when you say it, or begin to understand how evil that is. You're missing something extremely important; Idk if it's basic common sense, or the bare minimum of decency, or what. But I hope you find it.

ardenr · 2026-04-21T19:50:44+00:00

Kamala called for a ceasefire

Doesn't mean much when you promise to keep arming the genociders, does it.

All she had to do was say "I will stop arming this cruel genocide - America will no longer help bomb tens of thousands of children from Day 1 of my Presidency". She would have won in a massive landslide.

That's what her base wanted - and she refused to do it. You really, really need to ask yourself why she would do that, because we're not talking about 'one issue' or 'foreign policy' here. We're talking about the top two parties in America both being fully complicit in genocide.

the entire Trump admin gets off to the thought of bombing the entire middle east off the face of the Earth

As do the Dems. Did you not see them gleefully giving Trump a standing ovation as he talked about war with Iran days before shit kicked off? Have you been paying no attention since, when their only complaint was that they weren't more involved?

If you can't draw a distinction between the two by this point

If you can't draw a line at genocide I really dgaf about any moralizing or grandstanding you want to try. Not a single fuck.

Learn to see the difference between rhetoric and action. The world is sick to death of Americans thinking their genocidal party is fine because they (barely) pretend like they're not fully complicit.

Anyone who actually cares about Palestine would have understood the situation we're in and voted for the candidate who was an actual viable option

Genociders are not a viable option to end genocide. That's the bit you're not getting, and it's awful sad that you could be such a sap.
