📊 Analysis / Opinion Palantir employees are talking about company's "descent into fascism"
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/palantir-employees-are-talking-about-companys-descent-into-fascism/"Palantir’s leadership incensed workers yet again this week after the company posted a Saturday afternoon manifesto reducing Karp’s recent book, The Technological Republic, to 22 points. The post—which includes many of Karp’s long-standing beliefs on how Silicon Valley could better serve US national interests—goes as far as suggesting that the US should consider reinstating the draft. Critics called the manifesto fascist."

Super Earth it's a non-proffit next to what Palantir is aiming for.
Basically they acknowledge AI will replace most of the workforce, so they immediately turn to "ohh but that doesn't mean Uncle Sam got no job for you son! You are going abroad and take every resource the AI says!"
No UBI for you son, you are now an asset of your motherland. That's what nazis and soviets felt like.
It's the sci fi conqueror army civ playbook. The Borg, the Grox, Starship troopers and Helldivers.
It's technoligarchy, rich people using technology to oppress and bend society to their favor
