"How does providing a surveillance tool to a nation state enable repression?" seems like a question with a fairly clear answer, historically.

The Stasi didn't employ hundreds of thousands of informants as a charitable UBI program.

I'm not asking about how the Stasi did it in Germany, I'm asking how Palantir, a private company, is going to turn me into a "slave of the state" in the USA. If it's so obvious, then it should take a very short time to outline the concrete, detailed steps (that are relevant to the USA in 2025) down the path, and how one will inevitably lead to the other.
