Protesters blockade Palantir offices over tech firm’s ‘totalitarian’ work with ICE
As someone watching this from outside: More of this please.
Pantir is one company I wouldn't mind burning to the ground
Nah, keep it around and poison it with bad information so that the people using it make poor decisions, just like they did with Sauron in the Lord of the Rings!
That'd betting the information they collect from literally everywhere will not be enough to sanitise the bad parts. This might be the case but I'd say this bet is heavily rigged in their favour.
instructions unclrear: palantir office is now in underground bunker
This is just a test. Software that can track and surveil immigrats can also track and surveil people fighting against fascism.
Scrape the data of every Palantir employee.
Now do demolition.
I think that you might not get to claim the mantle of peaceful protest when you start blowing things up yourself.
Someone missed the news?
Cops have been blowing people’s home for decades.
And it’s US constitutionally agreed upon.
Unless you forgot what the theatrics of protest are for, I'm not so sure what's your point here.
people need to start bringing cocktails to these parties.
Look, people here seem to think that I am crying over what happens to Palantir. I'm not. What concerns me is that people genuinely seem to believe that destruction of buildings is perfectly compatible with the word "peace".
If you are going to advocate for a non-peaceful act, then don't shy away from what you are doing. Claiming that what you are doing is peaceful even though it involves blowing up things seems to me like inherently lying to yourself to make yourself feel better. It is much better to acknowledge that blowing up the building is a non-peaceful act and then examine it critically in order to determine whether it is really worth it, then to dismiss it as being peaceful which makes it seem like it is not a big deal.
I know that I am probably wasting my time, it's just that so much of the hell we are going through in the U.S. is the result of people believing in stories that they tell themselves about what they are doing in order to make themselves feel better, rather than evaluating things critically, and I really wish there were less of this mentality in the world...
What is your favorite flavor of boot-leather?
RingSun, specifically the Black Coffee flavor.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way: if you think that blowing up fascist things is the right thing to do in a particular situation, then why do you care so much about whether it is a peaceful act or not?
But they didn't blow anything up?...
They didn't, but lots of people here have wished that they (or someone else) would.
