A long report on the weekly news from Russian TV-1 goes after a recent paper by Alex Karp and what it calls Palantir’s attempt to achieve a transition to “Technofascism."](https://smotrim.ru/brand/5206#playing_video=6002143), a world order based on U.S. control of technology, particularly AI. It underlines the operations of Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, noting the strong support Thiel has given to boost the career of JD Vance. It also points to the key role of Palantir as the technology provider of the Pentagon. It takes some time in going through the various points of Karp’s manifesto, “The Technological Republic,” which the show labels appropriately “The Technofascist Manifesto,” to indicate the “futuristic visions” of the Palantir crowd, including its insistence on the superiority of Western culture and the need to maintain the central role of that “culture” in world affairs.
