    Typical Divide and conquer - Stop demonizing people who work for a living - it’s no different than demonizing every single American because of US foreign policy. Blame those at the top making their greedy decisions and the puppet masters behind them.

      Wrong. These people can’t handwave away their portion of responsibility for the current situation. They chose to lend their skills to a company with a long, well-documented track record of actions harmful to society. If you can get hired by one of the FAANG companies you could also get hired by nearly any company.

        maybe the users should shoulder some of that blame. I get working to pay the bills, but their users have no excuse.

        Not necessarily. There’s scores of people working for these companies that do content moderation, customer support and other jobs in this realm that are not quite as sought after and can’t easily switch jobs.

      Completely fucking wrong. People make the systems, and incentivize and even work for said systems that oppress, that doesnt make you free of responsibility in the least, quite the opposite. Americans are so afraid of personal responsibility its beyond insane.

      You worship work culture so much you think its okay no matter what you do as long as you work, absolutely pathetic and disgusting

        Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It’s not progressive to point the finger at people who don’t have the luxury of hand picking an “ethical profession”-something I’d love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.
