Can you explain this more? I don't work at Palantir, but I do insist I get paid for working every two weeks.

How are they harming the world? I mean, aside from converting oxygen to carbon dioxide.

They are saying "don't work for them" / boycott them. They are arguing that if they had no employees, they would cease to be.

I still don't get why Palantir is making the world worse, besides being apparently a bad product.

There are finite human/physical resources. The money/time/physical resource spent on supporting Palantir and its employees could have been deployed on more benefital problems. Is I would guess the argument.
