A 22 point manifesto recently published by tech giant Palantir reads like a villainous plot for dystopian domination.
At this point it has become abundantly clear for those paying even the slightest bit of attention that tech giant Palantir is becoming one of the most pervasive entities influencing the growing plutocratic dystopia.
While other giants of the big tech industry such as Amazon, Meta, Google, and even Oracle have indeed spread their tentacles far and wide throughout the upper echelons of government, Palantir, not to be outdone, remains at the forefront of this technocratic takeover.
We have previously reported on the ways in which this company’s founders such as Peter Thiel and Alex karp have effectively dedicated their lives to promoting technocracy, having their autocratic ideologies molded by the far right philosophies of technofascists the likes of Curtis Yarvin. And how the acolytes of this ideology have effectively embedded themselves within the Trump Administration. As well as how MAGA in its entirety has become, likely always was, infused with this ideology.
Previous reports have revealed the numerous ways in which the big tech AI firm has become embedded in the highest reaches of the federal government.
From being tapped by the White House to build a government-wide surveillance database;
To embedding Palantir AI across the entirety of the US Military, with Silicon Valley firms including Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI now even having their own extension in the US Army in the form of Detachment 201.
Palantir’s infection of the US government has also spread into the police state, building the technological infrastructure for the modern day Gestapo as Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations rely heavily on assistance provided by Palantir.
The firms reach has also extended into the Education Department, using data analytics to monitor academic institutions at a time when the administration’s attacks on academia in line with Project 2025 and the authoritarian playbook of the Heritage Foundation — another institution who’s neo-fascist ideology is influencing government policy — seeks to dismantle and reshape American education within the framework of a technocratic vision.
Additionally, Palantir has extended its reach into healthcare, promoting a technocratic agenda that merges artificial intelligence and biotechnology in accordance with the aims of the 4th Industrial Revolution. A development which is particularly alarming considering the overlap of technocracy with the eugenicist ideology of transhumanism and the embrace of transhumanism within the inner circle of the Trump administration.
The tech firm has also in recent days expanded its reach even further, sinking its fangs into the agriculture industry, inking a $300 million contract with the USDA which will see Palantir use its software to assist in the management of US farmland. Which by no coincidence underpins the technocratic agenda of consolidating control over the food supply with centralized agribusiness and genetically edited crops.
It is abundantly clear that the tentacles of this monolithic mega-corporation reach far and wide throughout the halls of power. Indeed, a former Palantir executive turned whistleblower recently confirmed what was already quite apparent — that Palantir has for all intents and purposes taken over the US government, stating matter-of-factly that the corporation, which he refers to as a terrorist organization, has effectively embedded itself in the United States government, merging the American empire, Zionist military infrastructure, surveillance capitalism, and technofascist ideology into a single architecture of control.
For those who at this point still may believe that the usage of terms like “technofascist” are hyperbolic, it is worth reiterating our recent report which revealed very clearly the Neo-Nazi network that was used to spread Peter Thiel’s online influence. As well as our previous reporting exposing the seedy underbelly of self-admitted fascists working behind the scenes to influence global right-wing politics.
It should be no question at this juncture that Palantir represents a veritable Fourth Reich of the modern day, establishing the infrastructure of a technocratic agenda deeply rooted in technofascist ideology.
However, now, you no longer just have to take our word for it. The company itself has seemingly pulled off the mask, if there was any left by this point, and blatantly said the quiet part out loud.
In recent days Palantir has posted to social media a 1000-word manifesto, outlining 22 key points of their vision for the world, a summarization of palantir co-founder Alex Karp’s 2025 book titled The Technological Republic in what some critics have referred to as “the ramblings of a comic book villain”.
In it, the company blatantly calls for the United States to implement universal mandatory military service and the establishment of “hard power” to maintain the US unipolar hegemon on the back of an all-encompassing AI infrastructure.
Insisting on the establishment of a strong Western national identity, the manifesto would also denigrate subcultures in what was clearly a racist dog whistle, condemning inclusivity and diversity in what the post refers to as “hollow pluralism”.
On religion, it insists that the intolerance of religious beliefs within certain circles of the political elite must be resisted. On its surface, a seemingly harmless declaration, however given the infestation of accelerationist Christian nationalist influence throughout the administration and the far right as a whole, and subsequent rabid intolerance for any belief outside of that purview, it can be seen as an endorsement of even more fervent theocratic ideology.
The manifesto also insists on Silicon Valley’s involvement in “combating violent crime” which would see Palantier’s already extensive involvement in mass surveillance, biometric data collection, and pre-crime analytics extend even further.
Perhaps most shocking, yet unsurprising, the manifesto openly insists that civilizations such as Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan should be returned to power, lamenting what the company refers to as the “neutering” of post World War II Germany and Japan, referring to the restraint of the Axis powers as an “overcorrection” which “must be undone”.
Such overtly fascist ambitions can’t get any clearer than that.
The entirety of the 22 Point Manifesto reads in full as follows —
Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.
8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.
16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.
17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.
18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.
19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.
22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
Excerpts from the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, by Alexander C. Karp & Nicholas W. Zamiska
Several people have called out the blatantly authoritarian rhetoric of the Palantir Manifesto. Belgian philosopher of technology and University of Vienna professor Mark Coeckelbergh referred to it as an “example of technofascism”.
Cas Mudde, a Dutch political scientist and expert on authoritarian tendencies described the manifesto as “one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!”
University of Michigan political scientist Don Moynihan published an analysis of the Palantir manifesto, concluding “on the whole, the manifesto’s vision… is that of a US government and its tech allies as dominant players, unconstrained by accountability.”
Palantir has quickly become the new face of the empire. The backbone of a New World Order and the gravest threat to liberty both domestically and abroad. Populations must rise up against this deeply entrenched technological leviathan and work to rip its insidious influence out by the root.
