- The video highlights the historical context of Palantir’s founding, linking it to the “Total Information Awareness” initiative and figures like John Poindexter.

You can fuck right off with your “pawn for the West”, you tankie cockroach.
I live in Ukraine (I am originally from Donbas no less). Let’s hope we you end up in the Izolyatsia camp in occupied Donetsk oblast.
You don’t speak Ukrainian, you’ve never in Ukraine and you have no clue what clue what you are talking about.
Nice try, but that won’t work with me.
Again with the desperate gatekeeping.
I will state again:
I am not trying to convince you. Why did you even think I am trying to change your mind, isn’t clear from my tone that this is not the case?
I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.
Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.
Here is my mantra I try to uphold:
“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”
All is well, thanks for the small chat; peace!
You usually wear your fascism on your shoulder?
Right, opposing russian genocidal imperialism and their invasion of my country is fascism.
You tankie roaches are all the same.
If the US had stayed out of everyone’s business Russia wouldn’t be banging on your back door. Putin is only in power BECAUSE of US interference in Russia.
No, putin is in power because the vast majority of russians are genocidal imperialists. They had an opportunity to build something better for their children after the somewhat peaceful end of the USSR, instead they chose genocidal imperialism and authoritarianism.
You’ve never lived in russia, you don’t speak russian. You’re just a random internet fake leftist degenerate.
You don’t understand anything about what is going in Ukraine.
Putin is in power because the US interfered in Russian elections under Clinton that ensured Yeltsin won. Yeltsin appointed Putin to be his successor.
Fuck off. You have no proof for this. You’re just parroting random copytext.
I lived in russia during the 1996 election (and I speak russian unlike you).
You’re lying and parroting russian revanchist victimhood narrative propaganda blaming scapegoats for the actions of the russians.
Did you read the article?
Can you explain the arguments without a web search?
Of course not, because you are just reciting online roleplay bullshit.
Give me something that would shows you’re not just a random degenerate lying about things you don’t understand.
This shouldn’t be difficult.
Don’t even bother aggressively googling for random shit. I will of course see through it because … wait for it … I lived in Russia during the 1996 election and I speak russian.
