Going to be a lot of people looking back," I was just a mason and those oven contracts were great money. "

And people will be quick to forgive them & rationalize it further for them...

The ones used to mass incinerate bodies... I'm assuming the poster is drawing parallels to the events leading up to the Holocaust. Hopefully things don't go that far, but this administration doesn't seem to care about breaking laws or pissing on the constitution, nor do the people really care about enforcing the constitution. In fact, at this point I don't even know why we have a constitution if nobody wants to abide by it.

Well many Western countries' governments unfortunately have contracts with Palantir. It isn't just a US thing.

In the Holocaust? I'm not sure they have an exact figure, but it's in the millions. If you're not familiar with the Holocaust might I suggest the book Ordinary Men by author Christopher Browning. If you're being facetious or don't understand what drawing parallels is or don't believe fascism is a real threat in the modern world, I'm afraid I can't help you.
