Ah yes, European issues

- 0x3f 7mo agoPerhaps, but one would think those aren't the prime issues meriting first mention. I went in hoping for details of what Palantir is doing wrong _in Europe_, but all I got was some rallying the base cliches.
- kakacik 7mo agoWe prefer seeing all humans as equal, and not setting their value based on their passports like US does. Also, shit done elsewhere will be repeated in all other places, no reason to doubt that.

- pavlov 7mo agoNot yet because they’re not operating in Europe yet. There are enough far-right (and generally Putin-aligned, like Hungary) forces on the continent that they’d love to feed.
- 0x3f 7mo ago> Not yet because they’re not operating in Europe yet. They're definitely operating in Europe. They literally have 15 offices scattered around.
- Aromasin 7mo agoIt's a European issue because we look to the US and now appreciate more than ever the need to introduce barriers to stop temporary fascist governments doing the same permanent damage they have done in the US. Our democratic systems are just as vulnerable to populist leaders taking power. One of those barriers we must erect is the elimination of corporation with unfettered access to institutional data that can be used by fascist governments to maintain or grow their power base.
- 0x3f 7mo agoIt's quite odd how Europeans will see and describe themselves only in terms of being a US vassal.
- encom 7mo agoAlso "ICE separate[s] families" is such a ridiculous mischaracterization it makes me question all their other arguments.
- esseph 7mo ago> ICE separate[s] families" is such a ridiculous mischaracterization It's accurate. They do separate families. How or why doesn't matter, the fact stands in its own. It's not a "mischaracterization", it's a fact.
- 0x3f 7mo agoIf context is irrelevant then every country in Europe already separates families, and thus how can this be a complaint?
- esseph 7mo agoBelieve it or not, it's possible for more than one person or entity to do something. I know, it's really incredible to think about! John and Bill can both scam Elizabeth, even though they live in different countries! But apparently I can't complain because they're both criminals and I can only complain about one! It says in the rulebook!
- encom 7mo agoSo do the police/courts if your dad goes to jail. It's incidental to their purpose.
