Bonus:

The smol bean heckin democracy puppers need autonomous death robots to protect themselves from scary authoritarians 🥰 Also, bad wars is unacceptable, you need to vote to make sure we get good wars!

On one hand, unimaginable destruction of human life, on the other, lower taxes. I’m torn 🤔

    The amount that Tolkien would HATE seeing weapons on mass death and/or surveillance take names from his work. The guy was really really not big on war

      I think Palantir would piss him off the most. A spy company named after the evil mind destroying crystal balls that Sauron used to subvert Gondor and hurt Pippin?

        It’s really on the nose. In the greater context the palantir were neat and useful before sauron got one, where this is just mordor producing their own
