The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it's just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth seen.

In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.

Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It's not like the company isn't broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name .. surely there's no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn't have completed control over it?!

Trump is totally going to nuke Iran to make this badboy go away for a few months.

Is he just trying to see how much mean shit he can do to other Americans before they realise he hates them?

He could enact policies to turn the IDF into an actual peace keeping force, restore all stolen lands to their rightful owners and make reparations to all people wronged by his actions .. and then shoot himself in the face .. that might help.
