I thought it was our founding principles, our diversity, our adherence to the rule of law and our love of freedom but okay…

@georgetakei Good to be honest for a change. Adherence to the rule of law, and freedom? In America?

@georgetakei no, I think he has it right. Other countries do far better at the things you mention, George, I’m sorry.

@georgetakei Rule of law is incompatible with Alex Karp’s freedom.

Mr. Karp,

That's only because you can send other peoples children to fight your useless war.

@georgetakei No George. It is not okay. America’s appetite for 'lethal capacities' will be the end of it.

By this logic, Mr Karp would have to consider the Axis powers of WWII, Japan and Germany, "special," and the Nazi's "final solution," extra special.
How can someone rise so high and be so thick?

I've long said it's US militarism*, but I guess that's just another way of putting it.

*along with capital punishment, incarceration, non-religious infant male genital cutting, religiosity, racism, inequality, insularity and entitlement.

Incidentally, he's not actually fighting in any war. Like Admiral Bone Spurs.
That will be the sons and daughters of lesser people, always the ones to be sacrificed.
I would love to be able to spit in this psychopath face.

@georgetakei unfortunately, Karp is right. The rule of law, democracy etc have been diminished in past decades. Especially during Orange phase one and two.

@georgetakei Nope, I think the rabid militaristic has it right - at least for the whole of my lifetime.

You may remember a time when America was a shining beacon of morality. I grew up with Vietnam.
(Yes, I do remember about the US Concentration Camps.)

@georgetakei This person seems to have a serious psychological problem. But if he‘s talking about the ability to destroy civilization (in more than one way), he certainly has a point, sadly.

@georgetakei Mr. Karp, anyone on our planet had the ability to kill, wage war, and cause devastating damage. Not everyone has the ability to grow food, irrigate farms, and provide life sustaining food & healthcare.

@georgetakei

Palantir CEO Alex Karp is a monstrous sycophant.

If "lethal capacities" -- a phrase Karp must have cribbed from a rejected Pete Hegseth screed -- were the only special thing about American politics or culture, the USA would deservedly be a global pariah, something Donald Trump is hard at work turning his country into anyway.
