Please - quit your overpaid tech job and actually work to change the status quo. No one is saying you have to accept the status quo.

But your lectures while driving past the homeless in a $100K tesla on your way to swank vacations are tiresome - particularly as you build that money off the status quo you are so eager to say is terrible.

False dichotomy. You don't need to quit your job to work to change the status quo. Indeed, you can often effect change much better from inside an important organization than from outside it.

Please - cash your big checks built on the back of misery and then complain to the company about their violent attacks on your "physical security".

You don't need to change your job - but if you are getting paid very well to do a job, then posting long internet postings about how terrible it is to work at an "important organization" risks getting you some eye-rolls.

You're attacking a strawman. The people trying to effect change aren't merely complaining online. There has been substantial real organizing afoot.

Unless you're actually doxxing the parent commenter, you're assuming a lot there. I have no doubt that plenty of HN contributors are actively working to change the status quo. As for $100k Teslas, personally I have no intention of ever buying a car again, let alone a $100k one.

There's two ways to change the current system:

1. Work in the current system and try to slowly impact it and change how it behaves.

2. Start a violent revolution and start a civil war which will end in millions dead.

Which one do you prefer I do?

I also HAVE to participate in this system if I want to live. That's one of the reasons I want to change the system.

My participation in this system isn't consensual.
