    Meta, the famously ethical, privacy-first, "move slow and make sure you do right by the people" company. ...yeah. We're aware.

      Well glad we are honest here. I personally would find an article talking about meta as a “thiel backed entity” as something trying to prey on fear

    > Is it binary? Are we talking utilitarianism? Is the Nile just a river in Egypt? Are we asking bad-faith questions?

      Bad faith is using sentences like this: > one of the most evil people in America I want to know what this sentence means besides “I don’t like this person” I also think selectively associating everything with palantir because the same VC participates is dishonest.

        >Bad faith is using sentences like this: > one of the most evil people in America That's not bad faith under any meaningful definition of that term. >I want to know what this sentence means besides “I don’t like this person”( It means that Peter Thiel's goals, if fulfilled, will bring immense harm to others, and the extent to which he was able to attain goals of that sort is hardly rivaled by any other person in the US. Now, nobody is under any obligation to break down clearly written English sentences for you, but if you have difficulty understanding them, the right thing to do would be to simply ask questions like "Why do you say this?", or "What do you mean exactly?". Not "Is it binary? Are we talking utilitarianism?". >I also think selectively associating everything with palantir because the same VC participates is dishonest.* The association is not just because "the same VC" participates, but because "the same VC" is Peter Thiel (a very influential individual, huge contributor to the Heritage foundation and Project 2025, mentor of VP J.D. Vance, and someone seen as one of the most evil people and America), and Palantir is Peter Thiel's mass surveillance company which is the foundation on which Peter Thiel has built his fortune (not just a company in which he's a VC, it's a company he founded and got immensely rich off of). Ignoring these facts - now, that's dishonest.

        > Heritage foundation and Project 2025, mentor of VP J.D. Vance Left wing boogie man words. You’re telling me he’s Soros backed and studies Frankfurt school rn. > and Palantir is Peter Thiel's mass surveillance company It’s a company he invested in which does surveillance for the government. It doesn’t do surveillance for him. Does PayPal manage his money? But once again, what’s the connection here? He once invested in palantir, and his fund (of which there are many managers) once invested in this company. Are you going to be consistent? Have you stayed in Thiel backed housing in the past year? Are you using Thiel’s internet or taxis? > It means that Peter Thiel's goals, if fulfilled, will bring immense harm to others Ok then let’s hear arguments against those. Don’t hide behind moralism. There is no way in which discord using this company for identity leads to Peter thiel taking over the world or getting all your information.
