You don't seem to disagree with parent, and as long as you're aware you have blood on your hands, I guess cool?

Why try to inflame the conversation even more? Just curious what you get out of it, because you're clearly not curious, or trying to understand something here.

This is a thread about morals, not tech. Many people are talking about how immoral ICE (and therefore Palantir) is, and I want to present the side that they are in fact doing exactly what many people in our society thinks needs to be done (i.e. they are not immoral).

The Nazis were doing what many people in their society thought needed to be done.

It is a rather uncommon position (though, ironically, frequently a strawman position falsely attributed to their opponents to mock them by roughly the same political faction that backs the current ICE action) that “morality” is just whatever a sufficiently large number of people currently prefer.
