I’d respect these tech assholes more if they named their company “Matrix”, “Panem”, or “Big Brother”. At least then they’re not insulting anyone’s intelligence.
I mean Palantir naming itself after the magic orb Sauron controls and uses to spy on everyone and manipulate the information they have access to seems pretty appropriate tbh. Mass surveillance and manipulation are their business model. I hate that they’re appropriating LoTR for their fascism, but the name is definitely applicable

Palantir is on point though: Using that distorted tool warps you to evil and self destruction…

Real.
Where’s my Cobra Industries?
What about my Brotherhood of Nod?
Shoot, give me Neo-Contra, dammit.
At this rate, I may as well use these names me self and make them the good guys.
