You can plate it and serve it how you like but it’s impossible to disguise that this is just shit scraped from the toilets of 20th century totalitarians."

I don't connect to X, but I would like to know what's in the Palantir manifesto that's the buzz this morning. Is there a public copy of it somewhere?

I also had a hard time figuring it out. It's at the bottom of the elia ayoub one in the url that begins with twitter-thread.
Before I found it, my guess was they made the first 20 points sound as innocuous and sweetly optimistic as they could before delivering points 21 and 22. They tried to do that, but….there are -a bunch- of whacked out points in that thing. Wow. They are just insane.

@_L1vY_ @leahmcelrath some cultures gave us jazz, others gave us the Holocaust.
@craignicol @L1vY@mstdn.social @leahmcelrath And those same cultures that gave us the Holocaust also stole the jazz.

I can't get past this one, freedom through authoritarianism:
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
