The state? Palantir isn't the state.
Go on, who does Palantir primarily provide services to?
If I get shot by the FBI, is it a non-state action because they used Glock GmbH's product to do it?
The greatest trick extraconstitutional corporate government ever pulled was convincing people that it didn't exist.
“The state” is an abstraction that serves as a façade for the ruling (capitalist, in the developed West) class. Corporations are another set of abstractions that serve as a façade for the capitalist class (they are also, overtly even though this is popularly ignored, creatures of the state through law.)
I would have thought that corporations are elements of the capitalist class, not a facade.
Palantir is run by Israelis. I frankly cannot understand why they act on behalf of a hostile foreign power, that is not Western in its ideals and is run by a war criminal who is orchestrating a genocide.
