Alternatives - Paris Marx
Paris Marx, host of the Tech Won't Save Us podcast, lays out a vision for an alternative model of technology that serves the people, rather than the shareholders of a handful of US tech companies. We talk about how the Trump regime's overreach (unpredictable foreign trade policies, kidnapping the leader of a sovereign state, escalating support for the Zionist entity's genocide in Gaza, an unprovoked and illegal attack on Iran, including the assassination of Iran's supreme leader, his family, and other high-ranking officials of the Iranian government) has presented us with a unique opportunity for an internationalist response that rejects US tech and builds a new technical stack in service of the public good.
