Nazi camp guards did not detach themselves and become mechanical. They relished in the genocide. They took great pains to express agency, to play cruel games that demonstrated that agency. The Palantir interns behind the keyboards at the deportation machine are alive with the glory of fascism, not numbed by the scale of their violence. The algorithms are a stage, and the performance can't happen without it, but the fascists are the actors, not the algorithms.
