Blanket dismissal of a comparison because it uses include Nazis is not useful. The point of learning from history is to actually be able to compare current events to the past. Putting Nazi Germany on a pedestal as uniquely evil is harmful, in that it prevents us from learning from those mistakes. Using it where unwarranted is also harmful, but we should not got to such lengths to avoid that as to reduce this historical period to uselessness.
Comparisons to the current administration are likely overblown, but are not entirely without merit. Comparisons could also be made to past administrations. The important thing is to consider how well the comparison matches, how problematic the features being compared are in each item, and how that works within context.
If those that cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it, so too are those that refuse to consider the past.
It's intellectually dishonest to draw a comparison of IBM helping the Nazi's commit a genocidal action to the US government deporting illegal aliens, and then say "well I didn't _imply_ anything"
Either that or you're being deliberately obtuse and are trolling.
It's intellectually dishonest to dismiss any ethical controversy about your behaviour with "Well, I'm making a lot of money by helping a government do what it wants, so surely I'm in the clear."
Palantir assists with quite a number of... Ethically controversial government activities.
