Lacking in self-awareness, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said we shouldn't impost a wealth tax because it could cause mass surveillance.

    Good. They are starting to threaten the people of the society in which they want to live. It won’t be long now until those people are forced to start thinking they are just a business, not saviours or overlords. Just selling shit to make a few bucks, nothing more, nothing less. Tick, tock…

    That company is just a middle man with no technology of their own. The sooner everyone realizes this, the sooner nobody buys anything from them. Even military people realize they’re a scam grift.

    So we need to tax wealth so much that there is no money for surveillance. Got it.

          So you, I and everyone else are actually super okay with all that happens as long as you have a mid tier Xbox to rent games and some plastic filled Cheerios to eat.

          Swell. Hard to blame the billionaires for treating us like dirt.

    Thanks for the fucking tip, Sauron.

    On another tangentially related topic, Smaug wouldn’t even be in the top ten richest beings if he and his stolen wealth were real.
