Yeah, its like they named themselves intentionally.

Palantír - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

The software data-collection company Palantir Technologies was named by its founder, Peter Thiel, after Tolkien's seeing stones.

Setting aside the veritable TITAN-loads of shady shit Palsntir is up to, it's also worth noting that Reddit's policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model, so I'd assume that not only is Palantir using it for that purpose, but that they are far from alone.

Just waiting for Thiel to buy Reddit.

Versions of them are here already. Their focus right now is to:

• start violence at protests, especially around LA and target cities like NY, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
• seed doubt in anything related to the republican agendas or what they have done. Usually starts with, "I hate trump like the rest of us, but...." or something like that.
• downvote the shit out of people that call anything like the above out. They'll come in later, one by one, to do this.

They usually congregate over the weekend and during or right after major events (like the protest). Watch for them this weekend or stay away from Lemmy. If you watch for it, downvote them and upvote the people fighting them, but most of all, take what everyone says with a grain of salt.

You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.

this is usually when I would say something conceited like "lol glad I don't live in the US" but then I realise that I'm just as fucked as the rest of the world and we don't have a future

hopefully microplastics will invade my colon/heart/kidneys/liver/brain soon and remove me from this living nightmare, I can't deal with this shit anymore

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

Anything Peter Thiel is involved in you know it is going to be fucking evil on some level.

Yeah, unfortunately they'll target anyone they can. Brexit wasn't even a law, it was a general, "Hey, how do you feel about brexiting?" Then they went full hog into, "You voted for it!" They do it with Ukraine/Russia, or anything they feel like targeting.

World disorder that benefits the billionaires seems to be the goal. I'll never understand why they want to live in a world like that. Raising all boats makes a much more fun world. Who will they hire if we're in a dystopian landscape, when everyone wants to get you because they have nothing to lose?

Take care of your mental health man. Find peace in the little things in life.

Billionaires are pathologically selfish, often it seems with actual personality disorders that make them unable to understand a world of mutual support and sharing, or to appreciate how much they benefit from others' support. Unfortunately we let these people become far too powerful.

Reddit’s policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model

I left reddit years ago, what are these policy changes that you're talking about and how do they relate to spreading "disinformation"?

Let me throw a disgusted upvote in your general direction.

It's really, really obvious, too. I don't have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.

From what I can tell he idolizes Saruman.
