#AlexKarp, CEO of #Palantir:
-
"Palantir is here to disrupt and make these various institutions we partner with the very best in the world, and when it's necessary, to scare our enemies, and on occasion, kill them"
Our reality has become a bad #JamesBond movie plot
And why do these #techbros always look like they're on drugs?
#Techbro just gleefully talking murder. And it's presented cheerful and mundane. What a #dystopia we live in
@benroyce hi, my mission for this year is to strongly encourage you to refer to them by their full name of "information technology brothers".

@benroyce Palantir was founded by former senior CIA members, they know the US gov is backing them to the hilt, so it's not surprising really.

@benroyce Because they all are.

@benroyce
Um, is he just sitting in his underwear? Creep. Definitely an under shirt. Hair a disaster. So respectful him to roll out of bed to talk to their investors. /s
Why are these guys all so creepy?? -

@benroyce This isn’t remotely funny. It is horrifying.
-
"Let's name ourselves after the tool Sauron used to spy on his foes and spread evil"
Because, of course, that's what they are
If this were fiction the company name would be thought of as too cartoonish and hamfisted, and that the writers should have picked a more subtle name
But nope, this is reality. Techbro douchebags just gleefully doing unsubtle malice

@benroyce They're the biggest losers in all the world trying to feel cool.

@benroyce little do they know murder goes both ways. These techbros live in a bubble that won’t protect them. They’re very naive, it’s almost like they’ll think respawning is an option
-

why? you don't love c-suite jargon combined with murderous psychopathy?

HOLY FUCK. This is really horrifying, this is the actual CEO and not some coked-up lackey?
"...and on occasion kill them. We're hope you're happy with that."
Just casually discusses murder like that as if it's just another policy?
-
@benroyce How can someone, who supposedly prefers to surround himself with Europeans and speak German, be so stereotypically American? I'm almost convinced this is satire. Do they have "tech bro energy" seminars at their PR department?
Secondly, who are those "enemies" supposed to be? He is currently doing a remarkable job at supporting a fascist regime that is actively trying to destroy NATO and Western values.
#AlexKarp's doctoral thesis in social theory from Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany in 2002 was called
"Aggression in der Lebenswelt: Die Erweiterung des Parsonsschen Konzepts der Aggression durch die Beschreibung des Zusammenhangs von Jargon, Aggression und Kultur"
("Aggression in the Lifeworld: The Extension of Parsons' Concept of Aggression by Describing the Connection Between Jargon, Aggression, and Culture")
to combat it, right?
nope
to refine it, become it

@benroyce That is a disturbing video. He is most definitely hopped up on something chemical.
-
@benroyce i Need the source for the text plz.
what do you mean. that's what he says in the video
this is real video from an investor meeting
-
@benroyce He makes it sound the same way as I would say: "On occasion I'll bring you some cake and have a cup of tea."

I would love to see a body language expert break down this video.

look up #AlexKarp's background. it's unsettling
he has a Ph.D. in neoclassical social theory. his doctoral thesis was on aggression
so he's like a medical doctor who has studied a malignant disease... but to perfect it, extend it, worsen it
it's almost as if you're looking at a guy who is acting like this and saying these things as a distillation of a mode of behavior they know on an intimate academic level: psychopathy as an intellectual fetish, in order to become it!

@benroyce They look like 1960s Star Trek villains in athleisure vests. Same cheap set.
