I never said they were the same but rather that from someone's perspective your employer is also evil. Yet you are fine working there. That same feeling and justification and reasoning applies to someone working at a company that you view as evil. The line in the sand you chose is fairly arbitrary and you shouldn't view yourself as a paragon of ethics versus someone who chose a line slightly further away.

Both these things are true. 1. A line in the sand is arbitrary. 2. There are huge differences in the ethical behavior of companies (as there are among people)

2 is the one that is important to recognize and where we in tech should have conversations. 1 is a semantic distraction and an excuse to avoid responsibility.
