Like Thiel himself, the company is thin-skinned about any criticism and likes to enable oppressive regimes.
I guess being the go-to tool of oppression isnāt as profitable as he thought it would be. Who would have guessed? Donāt say it out loud, though, heāll sue ya.
Or the real profit is on some back channel, awkward for a public offering.
Yeah, advertising that you are spying on everyone, all at once, like the flaming eye of Mordor probably isnāt the done thing to do.
That depends on who youāre selling it to.
What heās saying: āThe engineering elite of Silicon Valley may know more than most about building software. But they do not know more about how society should be organized or what justice requires.ā
Yeah, nope.
This keeps being a thingā¦ tech companies that have yet to turn a profit, filing for IPOā¦ itās almost like the stock market is a fraud, but that canāt be right? /s
Dow keeps setting records as the economy implodes. Certainly sounds like a fine system to me!
There could be some correlation between oneās desperate need to make money, and oneās willingness to gamble. 
Clearly the 30 million people out of work are just being lazy and the economy is just fineā¦ the stock market knows all!!! /s
And yet they named their company Palantir.
Flaming Eye of Sauron would have been more catchy.
Besides Sauron and Saruman spying on everyone, there was also one for Denethor, trying so hard to figure out how to deal with what was going on in the world until he fell into hopeless depression and only wished he could die on his own terms. Which is just to say, Palantir could also have been a good name for a social media company or something.
They took āLove thy neighborā a bit more literally than most.
And Iām guessing Falwell will ignore a part of the Book of Leviticus that comes shortly before his favorite part:
20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another manās wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbourās wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
skipping 20:11 and 20:12
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
First āTrump timeā, now āTrump worldāā¦ Yeah, I see where heās going.
We bring the world to order
Heil Trumpās world to order
Everyone of foreign race
Will love der Donaldās face
When we bring to the world dis order
Who knew that conservative Christians rewarded guys so well for letting someone have sex with your wife while watching.
U.S. evangelical leader Falwell to leave university after personal scandal, collect $10.5 million in severance
And like his tiny-mustachioed idol, he doesnāt understand that he offers the world nothing whatsoever to join Trump World, other than threats of vengeance.
What is Canadaās incentive for falling under the Trump umbrella? The same as his prostitutes, I guess, getting f-ed by Trump, only they get paid. Canada would just get f-ed.
Given the amount of control the three founders wanted to keep and a trajectory of permanent losses I donāt understand how that company could survive thus far? Even if Thiel backed it with all his earnings from Paypal and Facebook who only could have done so for four of its years (and would be bankrupt by now)
Donāt mess with librarians.
The librarian put up The Subtle Knife , Fahrenheit 451 , Betrayed , The Resistance and The Twits to send a message about the school administration but ended up tr0lling de Pfeffel, too.
