Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your MAGA uncle might hate less today than he did yesterday, as that entire cult of personality is fragmenting yet again with the advent of this new Palantir deal to create a national database that is unprecedented in our history. It will include:
- Tax filings
- Student Debt
- Social Security
- Bank Accounts
- Medical Claims
- Immigration status
No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. If you, like me, are a critic of China’s social credit system (totally valid to disagree with me), just know that in the Hands of Palantir, a data analysis company founded in 2003, partially backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, the new American edition is going to be so much more repressive and targeted.
