PS: je travaille sur un long post sur ce sujet pour mon blog depuis un certain temps. A suivre...
Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale recently accused Balaji Srinivasan of “insane CCP thinking” for not getting behind the project of fusing Silicon Valley to the Pentagon.
It exposed a disagreement on how to best expand the power of the tech elite, but not on tech’s deeper right-wing turn.

@eff @newyorktimes Opportunity missed? #Palantir and #PeterThiel are at the very heart of the #NetworkState project (also see #Project2025) intent on ending liberal democracy and indeed USA as a republic.
