Palantirdropped a manifestolast weekend. 22 bullet points distilled from Alex Karp’s bookThe Technological Republic, posted to X with the casual framing of “because we get asked a lot.” I haven’t seen a reaction so widespread, unanimously opposed and viscerally aghast since James Damore’s infamous “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber”.
The usual suspects lost their shit. Engadget called it “the ramblings of a comic book villain.”
TechCrunch clutched its pearls at the bits about “regressive” cultures and “vacant and hollow pluralism.”
Bellingcat’s Eliot Higgins observed, (via Bluesky, of course), that these aren’t philosophical musings floating in the ether: they’re the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it’s advocating.
He’s not wrong, Palantir sells to ICE, DoD, NYPD, and the intelligence community. It may be a manifesto, but it’s also product literature.
Even Alexander Dugin, the Russian “Fourth Political Theory” philosopher, not exactly known for having a libertarian bent, seemed triggered by it, calling it “the plan of the Western techno-fascism” on X, “Pure Satanism” on his Substack.
Palantir manifesto is the plan of the Western techno-fascism. The superiority of the white race based on the technology. No antisemitism, no sacredness, no socialism of old historic fascism. This time pure capitalist, Jews friendly, profane, materialist. Anglo. Posthumanist.
Former Greek FM Yanis Varoufakis called it “evil” and put outhis own point-for-point on it– he calls it a refutation, it’s actually more of a rant.
So everybody across the horseshoe is big mad. Fine.
