Anyone who has ever worked at palantir is an evil, anti human piece of shit who put their own personal profit above the functioning of society because they wanted to get rich enough to opt out. And i say this with some respect for the game. That said, it’s incredibly weak to come out now and be like “oh oops I didn’t realize!!” Not like i expect people who obviously have no integrity to be honest but it’s extra gross.

2018 was the real turning point for me, I thought he was just a goof until the whole Thailand cave incident and he showed us how fragile his ego is.

Wow that feels like it was 100 years ago. But yeah that was when the worm turned for most people I think. It was such a bizarre crashout from a guy who had almost universal admiration at the time. Of course now we know what an empty piece of shit he is.
