Haven't heard this name before, would someone care to fill me in on a tl;dr? Sounds horrendous.
Always that Black prefix, like something out of a bad action movie.
In the books its not just that sauron uses it for evil, he also can use it to turn anyone else that uses it evil.
However I heard that Thiels favourite book is the rewrite of LOTR from the perspective of Sauron, where Gandalf and the elves seek to destroy humanity and technology (at least that’s how I understood the gist, haven’t read it)
Btw I always wondered why I was seeing droves of Palantir swag on Stanford campus back in early 2010s. I wouldn’t wear something that has a 50%+ chance of being interpreted as evil.
I dont know what blackrock did to be evil. Seems like a pretty generic company that sells basically every type of stock.
* People who think a cabal of reptilian globalists control the world.
* People who think that capitalism is an emergent system that is destroying our culture, social cohesion, and environment.
All the worst companies seem to all be LOTR themed.
(btw, it’s everywhere, even the kaaba)
Also worth pointing out that, due to this "contractor" relationship, they never count towards official casualty figures. For example, if Iran were to kill 50k of them (I'm of course exaggerating to make a point), they wouldn't count towards US casualty figures, so it's also a way for the government to downplay the effects of foreign intervention to the general public.
This has happened throughout history in war, before even recorded history.
Russia is doing it right now with North Koreans. Also with Wagner Group, until they had their little uprising against Putin and then their plane happened to crash.
