@xoagray @ohmu Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under will.

@ohmu uhhh... I think it was pretty clear from the start that Palantir knew they were the bad guys, which is why they worked so hard to keep a low profile in the public eye for so long.

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@ohmu

Yes

[kanamauna@sauropods.win]

@ohmu

MurderCorp. employees are starting to wonder if murdering makes them the bad guys

@ohmu
i get it, sometimes i make pasta 3 days in a row and then my stomach hurts and i'm like "wait, have i only been eating pasta lately?"

it's kind of like that except instead of absentmindedly making pasta you absentmindedly build and deploy systems that drive mass surveillance, state violence née genocide, and the centralization of power into the hands of genocidal nazis while working for a guy who's best buds with known pedophiles and whose entire schtick for years has been "replace democracy with technofascism also Greta Thunberg is the antichrist"

Now? Only now they start to wonder? What were they doing? Playing "Global thermonuclear war" with the WOPR?

[raganwald@social.bau-ha.us]

@ohmu It's either that, or they always knew. But now that everyone else is cottoning onto what they're up to, they are going to "muse" and "reflect" and "ask difficult questions" as if none of this has even crossed their minds until now.

@ohmu I think that if you are depolitised, the argument of security can work because occidental software engineers are mostly white hetero cis dudes (at least in France) and upper working class, with capital to defend, and everything is just a technical problem to solve, nothing else.

[amj@mastodon.xyz]

@ohmu
Still not sure

[eichi@mastodon.bierschutzpartei.de]

@ohmu Are we the baddies sketch but instead of realizing they have skulls on their uniforms they start thinking about why they work for a company named after artifacts used by evil
