I'm not saying I'd be actively trying to blow things up from inside, my job wouldn't last long, and my whole point was that I'm not an activist about it: someone's getting paid for it and it may as well be me (if I don't have a better offer). In your horrible analogy, I suppose what I mean is something like (but come on, not remotely close to!) 'why are we burning books and looting art, this is terrible, oh well someone else will if not me, and hey, I like art', but then 'you want to do a holocaust?! No, that is absurdly too far, whistle blow'. |

And maybe that person is worse at it than you, or without you they don't have enough people with the right skills to succeed.

Fat lot of good whistle-blowing would do in that example.
There's also the aspect where the last step was too far for you, but you helped take every step before that which enabled that last step to be taken without you.
If your attitude is "someone's getting paid for it and it may as well be me," you probably should just drop idea that you could change things from the inside, since it amounts to a BS rationalization to take the money.
