    Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.

    What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?

    Just fucking stop.

      I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.

      I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.
