> Listen... if you're at Facebook, you've personally made a decision that you'd rather collect your paycheque than stop contributing to the beast that surrounds you. You're fine with the pervasive corruption and rampant disinformation and hypocrisy because you're making bank. Don't be shy. Own it. Say it with a full chest. At least it would be genuine. I think it's also on us to stop holding facebook at such a high level. People are proud to have facebook on their resume, maybe they shouldn't be. Maybe facebook should be seen as an embarrassment. Maybe facebook should be something you want to hide from some employers because they're going to judge you for accepting a job from them. (Exceptions for h1b, first job, etc apply) It's kinda how if you tell me you were a cop I'm going to immediately see you as a power hungry and abusive thorn in society. The burden of proof is on you to...show me that's not true. Some decisions have consequences I suppose. |

You appear to be in some sort of bubble, where people are ashamed for their engineering work. This is never going to be true; anyone who puts something on their CV that indicates a high level of technical competence is going to be in demand no matter how much you wish otherwise.
Same with cops - you appear to be believe that law enforcement is forced upon an unwilling population. This is also not true: people prefer to live in places with an active and working law enforcement. If there isn't one the populace, by clear and almost unanimous majority, creates one.
You are free to move to places that don't have law enforcement officers. However it seems that the rest of the world (outside of your bubble) doesn't care for your ideals. I can't blame them.
While we're on the subject of judging people, what do you think people think of you when you say you want to ostracise law enforcement officers?
