Thiel himself said 4/6 of the founders were making bombs back in HS.

Oh for sure. My comment was just to say just because it’s closed source doesn’t mean you can’t get some sense of what they’re trying to do behind the scenes with your data.

Closed source doesn’t necessarily hide trackers either. Tracker Control (on Android) will point out tracker libraries and tracker domains closed source apps use. A good DNS blocker will let you know too by the logs.

They must be expecting bailouts.

Hegseth was just in the news for spending almost 100 billion on lobster and crab and steak.

Your first postulation is correct. The US is not prepared for drone warfare and it’s showing. The US is firing expensive missiles to intercept cheap Shaheds. I suspect your second may also be true but idk.

Wait a minute. That sounds like letting the free market work itself out. We only abide by that when it’s the proles getting the shit end of the stick.

This likely ties back to Stephen Miller. This guy despite being descendant from immigrants with liberal family (who disowned him) is super into white nationalism and he gets off at the suffering of non-whites. He pioneered the kids in cages/family separation policy during Trump I and he directed ICE to be confrontational with immigrants and protestors during this administration.

The citizenship data is two-fold. It gives companies like Palantir more data to train on and also helps fascists like Miller determine who is a citizen, who isn’t and lets them figure out how to exert maximal harm. Previously this meant neighborhood raids with tools like ELITE built on aggregate data. With the backlash of the raids, they will switch to quieter strategies. They may shut non-citizens out of banking, look for any organizations that help migrants out financially and shut them out. There have been murmurs of something similar planned using data acquired from hospitals.

We might seem something like how his pedo pick Roy Moore lost to a Democrat in Alabama because Republican turnout was so low. Idk about an overt MAGA civil war. Most people I know who voted MAGA are just really quiet now and “don’t want to talk about politics.”

We won’t. They are entrenching themselves by buying up news outlets, influencing social media algorithms, pushing American exceptionalism and jingoism in the classrooms.

In Saddam, Gaddafi, Khameini Sr (and in a sense Ukraine), the West has also shown that eliminating/diminishing your nuclear program to not be a viable long-term safety plan anyway.
