I mean working somewhere like Qualcomm or Microsoft when you care about FOSS, democracy, and the public commons, or a weapons manufacturer for a military that invades other countries and kills innocent people in their homes.

    It really surprises me how preachy people can be. When you got a family of 4 to feed, that white collar job working in accounting at Chiquita seems really distant from their literal government toppling conquests of the south.

    When responsibility is so plainly distributed in larges companies, individual accountability becomes almost invisible.

    I have a lot of random thoughts on this, but they aren’t all coherent. The system is so messed up, you could form an entire major studying just how fucked up capitalism is.

      Why do you got a family of 4 if you knew how the world was? Why do you think that making bad decisions absolves you from making unethical decisions? At least acknowledge the lack of ethics.
