    But a lack of wealth tax will cause billionaires to die prematurely from public-provided justice. Maybe it’s healthier to be supportive to your country rather than a manipulative, greedy traitor.

    The fact that this fascist fuck is not laughed out of every interview and press conference is journalistic malpractice.

    Classic playbook of “don’t do this or, we’ll do exactly what we already do”. “Don’t tax churches, or they will get involved in politics”. Don’t raise minimum wage or the prices of things will go up".

    The super wealthy don’t understand threats.

    I can just imagine if they were terrorists with hostages.

    “Bam Bam Bam Bam” “rich guy: OK I need a million dollars or I’m going to kill the hostages” “negotiator: You mean those corpses at your feet?”


    though, he could actually be on to something in factuality. something that is noted is, there’s giant holes in flock camera coverage on deflock… mainly in super rich areas. If hypothetically the government actually chose to enforce rich people crimes as they do poor people crimes, they might fill in those holes. Of course, that’s also even assuming that if such a tax passed, it wouldn’t be half ass enforced like every other crime rich people do.

      Oh, are you talking about the billionaire perverts that don’t believe in anything but money?

        No, they believe in shit. This particular ass wrote a fascist manifesto where he claimed that Germany and Japan were “neutered” after WW2.

          Huh, you know what, that does sounds quite a bit worse than misbegotten nihilism I’ll admit…

    The CEO of Palantir warning about mass surveillance is like Sauron filing a privacy complaint about the Eye of Sauron. Monitoring ordinary people is apparently national security. Looking into a billionaire’s assets? Suddenly we’re living in a dystopia.

    We can just use his own play book against him:

    Rig a commercial grade drone with a liquid container and controllable release valve.

    Fly over his head.

    Dump cat piss mixed with fentanyl on him.

    … Yes, that really is his own idea.

    https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/02/17/palantir-piss/

    Karp: “You need a higher purpose, and I think you often need a lower purpose.”

    Andrew Sorkin: “What’s your lower purpose?”

    Karp: “I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us.”

    … on second thought, perhaps this is actually his kink and he already does this to himself.

    … hrrrmmm…

    “Look at what you made me do!”

    Its just textbook narcissistic abuser behavior all the way down. Only this one wears a suit and has power over most of society.

    Ah, we should shame people like this heartily and to the point that when they say deranged stuff like this…They are laughed off the stage to the point they fear speaking stupid ideas into the world, recorded live!
