for the tech industry, the AI industry, the data industry to work side by side with the US military in US military power projection across the world.

They openly basically say that they are on a global culture war in support of the United States and its culture.

They said in express terms, you know, some cultures are more equal than others, very sort of Orwellian culture.

Concepts.

They've been given access to prison data here in Australia as well, in Victoria.

Last time I checked, they had access to more than 42 million data points of Australians, and they're not in there neutrally just making things more efficient.

They actually want us to be part of a global military culture war on the side of Donald Trump and his mates.

That's the appalling defence that the state has at every point when it's reaching into your personal life, wants to know who you're talking to, when you're talking with them, who they associate with, what your thoughts are.

You know, that is the worst possible defence that the state or any corporation has when they're trying to hoover up everything about you because increasingly data is the goldmine of the 21st century and so much of our lives are now lived on our devices and online

They're just doing their job being journalists.

I'm not saying that's going to happen if you're a plumber in Western Sydney.

But if you're a plumber in Western Sydney and then you start talking online with your mates about something and then you have a pretty rugged conversation with them about something, something you probably wouldn't have said if you're sitting in a police station, and then suddenly you're sucked up and you're put into a database and you're tagged by Palantir, is that what we want?
