Made it to Christchurch and out of Wellington before they closed the tunnel for flooding! 😳

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Validating. It upset me for like a million reasons, and ones that undermine living through this fucking moment

Sex educator note: sex shaming is a neat way to draw attention to an argument but the 'herpes at a kissing booth' trope falls apart when you know how hard it would be to purposely spread HSV1 in a kissing booth versus, say, influenza. Or... Covid in a kindergarten
