1:24:11Now PlayingIn this livestream, we're digging into the surprising—and unsettling—news that several Palantir executives have officially joined the U.S. Army. What does it mean when leaders of a powerful data-mining and surveillance tech company take on military roles? We're talking implications for civil-military relations, the growing merger of tech and defense, and how this plays into the broader conversation about surveillance, power, and democracy.
Is this just the next phase of the military-industrial-tech complex? Or is there something deeper happening beneath the surface?
👀 Join us as we unpack:
Who these execs are and what roles they now hold
Palantir’s long history with the Pentagon and law enforcement
Why this matters for democracy, privacy, and the future of warfare
What does this say about the privatization of military power
📢 Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your thoughts. Let’s talk about the lines between public service and corporate interest, and whether they still exist.
