Palantir, Privacy, and the Price of "Protection" — Why We Turned Data Dystopia Into a T-Shirt
Share
In a world where your every click, swipe, and location ping gets scooped up by shadowy data giants, one name keeps slithering into the headlines: Palantir Technologies — the black box of modern surveillance.
You might not see them, but trust us:
They see you.
🔍 From tracking immigrants for ICE, to partnering with law enforcement, to crunching predictive analytics for global governments — Palantir is the quiet hand behind the curtain.
And that’s exactly why we made this shirt.
The Story Behind the Design
When we first learned how deep Palantir’s tentacles reached — from the Pentagon to predictive policing — our team said what any reasonable, fashion-forward rebels would say:
“Let’s roast the hell out of this with drip.”
The result?
A sleek, subtle design that looks clean from afar — but on closer inspection, it tells a story:
-
-
Front print: A clean, minimal glitch-style eye — the illusion of neutrality.
-
Back print: A barcode with the words:
“You Are the Product.”
(Subtle. Sinister. Spot-on.)
-
This isn’t just a shirt. It’s a middle finger disguised as fashion.
What Is Palantir, Really?
Palantir isn’t your average Big Tech bro-factory.
It’s part defense contractor, part data sorcerer, and part digital oracle — named after the all-seeing stones from Lord of the Rings. (Yeah. Seriously.)
While they claim to “empower institutions,” what they often do is empower surveillance, profiling, and algorithmic control.
Imagine Minority Report — but instead of Tom Cruise, it’s… your TikTok For You Page deciding if you’re a threat.
Why Wear It?
Because the only thing more punk than resisting surveillance is doing it while looking like a damn icon.
- It sparks conversation.
- It rattles cages.
- It makes your uncle at Thanksgiving unreasonably uncomfortable.
That’s our love language.
