Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its critical and provocative stance on a well-known, controversial tech company, Palantir, and its CEO, Alex Karp. The use of strong language, direct criticism, and references to political events and controversial statements likely captured attention and encouraged engagement.

Summary

The video criticizes Palantir, a US tech company founded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, highlighting its origins with CIA funding and its current focus on surveillance software. It references a controversial manifesto by CEO Alex Karp and discusses the company's role in government contracts and political events, suggesting Palantir prioritizes profit over privacy and societal well-being.

Structure

1Introduction to Palantir's business and origins
2Discussion of Palantir's controversial manifesto and its implications
3Criticism of Alex Karp's public statements and the company's actions
4Analysis of Palantir's role in government contracts and political influence
5Concluding remarks on Palantir's perceived negative impact

Product placement

Palantir: ACTS - it is a US tech company that was founded by Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, and some other jabronis. It was founded in 2003. Its essential express purpose right now is to create surveillance software for foreign and domestic use. Removing it would change what happens in the video. In-Q-Tel: ACTS - it is a taxpayer-funded venture capital firm that explicitly invests in corporations to support the CIA. It is a pool of money the CIA uses to coerce tech people to do things for them. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

Hello I received a response in four to six business days. But stuff still happened. APRIL 23 2026 So what's up? Palantir cannot see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Despite being a corporation that's very, very well known for all their surveillance software, they just cannot see the cinnamon swirl in every bite. That's enough of that. Palantir is in the news. Palantir is a US tech company that was founded by Peter Thiel Alex Karp, and some other jabronis. It was founded back in 2003 and one of its major founding funders, aside from Thiel, was... literally the CIA. There's this thing called In-Q-Tel, I-Q-T, and it's a taxpayer-funded venture capital firm that explicitly invests in corporations to support the CIA. It's a pool of money the CIA uses to coerce tech people to do things for them. And if you're Palantir, you just love that idea. So from the drop, Palantir's stated mission is to build software to help the government do surveillance and shit. They specialize in Our software powers real-time, AI- driven decisions in critical government and commercial enterprises in the West, from the factory floors to the front lines. militarized intelligence. Like, this is what they do. But they're also a company, like on the stock market, not a part of the government. flagship products is called Gotham, and what it does is combine a data that's not really supposed to be combined so that they can type in someone's name and find them. It's not necessarily that straightforward, but the idea is that it is an omni-surveillance system. So Palantir's already kind of not well-liked among the general populace, and then this past weekend Twitter to post a 22-point summary of a Alex Karp's 'Supervillain' Manifesto Is Putting Palantir Contracts at Risk gizmodo book that was co-authored by the CEO, Alex Karp. It reads essentially like a manifesto, and I'm not going to read every point to you here, I have linked it in the newsletter, but it basically summarizes to "we should get rid of Palantir's Position, Summarized - Let us take over democracy. Palantir's Position, Summarized - Let us take over - Ignore the poors poor people are bad, and multiculturalism Palantir's Position, Summarized - Let us take over - Ignore the poors - Diversity bad failed us." Palantir's Position, Summarized - Let us take over - Ignore the poors - Diversity bad They also call for forced military participation of the US. And just to like drive home how out of touch this random-ass manifesto was, here's a quote. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. - Something Palantir Actually Tweeted Public servants need not be our priests.

Hey motherfucker, government's not a corporation. Weird. So yeah, out of nowhere, they and they're like, "Hey, everyone, here's 22 from our founder about how we think the world should work, and it's all fascism." Isn't that exciting? Alex Karp is a fucking madman. Like the dude can't stop excitedly talking about how good Palantir is at finding and killing people, or at least helping to find and kill people.

Cheyenne MacDonald at Engadget Palantir posted a manifesto that reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain Engadget pretty much coined it and said that it basically reads like the ramblings of a comic book villain. The response was swift. "Hey, what the fuck?" That was me being everyone. Just so you know. A bunch of articles came out about how unhinged this post is. Palantir's stock started to drop when markets opened on Monday, and now foreign ministers are discussing whether or not they should drop their contracts with Palantir because what the fuck? Hey, I could be your national security advisor. Yes, do that. Now look, I am not a fool, usually. I understand that militarized intelligence and national security and surveillance and all of this stuff is just a fact of reality. It is a part of having a country in 2026. It just is how it is. And Palantir is just all too happy to capitalize on that. That's all they're doing, is playing the game. but playing the game without showing any remorse for the lives And it really is kind of like a don't hate the player, hate the game situation.
