    Can someone burn it to the ground and bar every single person responsible for these companies in a cell somewhere on the moon so they never witness the blue sky again in their life

      Nonono it’s “eat the rich” not “send the rich to the moon”. We have to keep the logistics in mind here. I mean, think of the rocket fuel. In this economy no less.

      Best we could do would be some form of slingshot. I reckon the g forces would kill them long before they arrive and there would be little more than a small stain left on the moon. Somebody needs to do the math on this. I’ll make the logo.

        If we’re open to suggestion, I’d love if we could collectively agree to take a few basic human rights from them, and have a reality TV crew follow them 24/7 while they get all their capital seized, and seeing their daily struggle because they don’t know any useful skill.

        Those that lose all their faux friends and have nowhere to go could go live in the Mansion, where they’d be subjected to humiliating daily games related to all the sins they committed as traitors to humankind.

        I would finally be a reality tv fan.

    Rules in this community restrict me from replying with an image of a wooden construction with a gravity-powered blade.

    Please imagine such an assembly for my response.

      mods i would like to ask a clarification on the rules before i test them, as this has been a respectful community. would an image of a cigar cutter or paper cutter be a violation of the rules even though in my language they are homonyms?

    If the Swiss government told this magazine about rejecting Palantir, it seems like Palantir should sue the Swiss government because they are the source of the narrative.

      Relevant bit so you don’t have to dig in the article like I just did:

      Billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and former Facebook board member, paid $10 million to help finance lawsuits against Gawker Media, including the Bollea lawsuit. The idea had been brought to him by Australian businessman Aron D’Souza. Thiel called his financial support of Bollea’s case “one of my greater philanthropic things that I’ve done.”[34][35][36] Gawker had published an article in 2007 outing Thiel as gay.[37][38]

    I thought they like being the lighting rod of dispute, so why would they want to rebut the article?

      I think it’s more like Thiel looking for any reason whatsoever to take down Gawker.
