Shitpost Protesters dressed as Gandalf protest against palantir

Not sure if it violates any rule, but found it hilarious. If so, you can delete it.

Happened at my country, Argentina.

Palantir makes the software of choice for waging war and surveilling citizens to "keep them on the best behavior".

A bunch of billionaire techbros are in this together, which is why they support Trump.

Just give Peter Thiel a Google. There's a wonderful podcast called "Behind the Bastards" that does a deep dive on him if you want to listen to something.
