    i wonder if this is why the US is looking at raising the age of enlistment to 42? as soon as the law is passed, Palantir manages to secure some sort of contract, where they get to suck up all that data

      palantir is likely needs money for thier AI to be used more often what more than having more servicemembers to justify it.

    “In The Midst Of Unpopular, Catastrophic War Of Choice, Trump Allies Call For Draft” would perhaps not be a totally neutral headline but I feel like it would be more honest, more forthright.

      “Draft dodgers call for your son to be drafted and killed for them to make money” is a bit less neutral but it calls out the hypocrisy of these people

          Weasely parasitic pile of dog shit?

          Of course, at least dog shit comes from dogs. I like dogs.

          Edit: I’ve also heard nice things about actual weasels. But mosquito-esque takes too long to say.

    Of course it’s Palantir. And Peter Thiel is worried about the antichrist. The calls are coming from inside the house, buddy.

      He’s only concerned because he knows his and his allies actions are so bad, one might say biblically bad, that he’s trying to control the narrative to look in another direction.

      Tie him to a horse (or a robot dog) and have him lead those troops into battle.

      He will get shot both front and back.

      It is time for economic warfare with multiple rolling cross supply demand and market (stonks) moves like GME but bigger. Weaponized money. Legal via both GME in practice, and Citizen’s United hehe. We can put on a Stonk and make it go to be delisted. Numbers is all we need. They must be terrified of us thinking to coordinate.

      No, they will change it so only if you signed up at 18 will you get it and everyone else gets fucked.

      While the few that get to use it find it’s even worse then it is now.

    White nationalism? Check.

    Billionaires should be allowed to do what they want? Check.

    War for war’s sake? Check.

    Class warfare? Check.

    Class warfare (again)? Check.

    The only thing I agree with is the bit about politicians sending normal folks to war while not sending themselves or their kids.

    If that “national service” includes Mangione’s service to the country, perhaps we should have that conversation.

    Genuinely no idea what PR hack thinks putting this dude in front of a microphone is a good idea. I’ve seen more of him in the past month than I can count, and pretty much each appearance is somehow worse than the last.
