This is really great (and by great I mean terrifying to see it all laid out plainly). The only nitpick is the idea that the model "is coming to europe next" ... as if this whole thing wasn't kicked off by Brexit and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Europe was the testing bed for this a decade or more ago.
How uplifting
To me this seems like any other big gov procurment. Which is bad of course but isn't anything new. And I fail to see how this leads to authoritarinism especially in Europe. We have our own local home grown cliques that capture gov contracts.
I'm no expert, but the issue here seems to be replacing many smaller contracts with one big one for Palantir. I. E., one agenda headed in one dark direction.
But what do I know?
Honestly I don't know what would be the difference if this was a contract with Oracle, Microsoft, SAP etc. That is democratic stack?
The root cause of everything bad, the error of errors, is to have private property of the means of production. Without it, we'd have a wealthy, technologically advanced civilization within planetary boundaries. Socialism first!
Or we could have politicians that do their jobs. Socialism doesnt fix any of these issues.
Companies will act just as degenerate when all their employees depend on its success and if you're one of the socialism except state controlled thats even worse because you put all your eggs in that basket and if the government is bad you're fucked. Look at what trump is doing as an example of how that could go.
Yes it does, FOSS is socialist
Beam me up, Mr.Curry.
