- ceejayoz 11mo agoGo on, who does Palantir primarily provide services to? If I get shot by the FBI, is it a non-state action because they used Glock GmbH's product to do it?

- dragonwriter 11mo ago“The state” is an abstraction that serves as a façade for the ruling (capitalist, in the developed West) class. Corporations are another set of abstractions that serve as a façade for the capitalist class (they are also, overtly even though this is popularly ignored, creatures of the state through law.)
