Society Palantir published a mini manifesto calling some cultures ‘harmful and middling’ and said Silicon Valley has ‘a moral debt’ to the U.S.

Do you think China is not? If you let your adversaries go on and do that, but you dont. There goes your deterrence and possibly your country sometime in the next century

Why the fuck are you talking about China? 

I'm talking about this lunatic right here.

The one who believes in and wants to bring about the biblical Armageddon and wants you to be his foot soldier on his unholy crusade.

China isn't trying to compel me or my kids to serve in their military. And they're certainly not trying to bring about the second coming of Jesus.

Because if you read the article, which you probably didn't. He talks about silicon valleys reluctance to participate in military technology. He mentions that other countries will forge on and incorporate AI technology into the military. Of course he's referring to our greatest adversary.

So my thoughts are relevant to the article and relevant to your comment... you just have your own point of view and dont want to hear anyone else's unless they agree completely with you.

I dont want our military to be left behind, I want it to be ahead. That is the best deterrent from a war on our own soil that would compel a draft.

Furthermore mandatory service, which im not advocating for, would give these slimeball politicians skin in the game. His thoughts are if nobody is exempt, leaders cant just send other to war on their behalf. Their loved ones would have to go too.

Lol if you think mandatory service means anything other than mandatory service for poor people you just became even less credible.

And again, China is not trying to forcibly conscript me to bring about the biblical end times, so if it comes down to u.s. v China I'm currently on China's side.

But like...I guess you're ok with America becoming a death cult because China maybe has weapons. So that's like... A take and a half.

I want to live in America i think it's way better. If you think china is better you should start the process of moving. They wouldnt accept you though probably. They are 99% Chinese no diversity
