>you’re all confirming that contributing to corporate capitalism is incompatible with personal freedom

Isn't it obvious? You're literally giving away more than a third of your life working these jobs to do things that you don't personally want or benefit from. You think the more restrictive thing that is being really imposed on you is being unable to tweet "Fuck you" instead of spending like half of your waking time away from your family and loved ones?

I'm personally not a fan of capitalism conceptually, not just the corporate kind, but it always strikes me as weird how other leftists think that's the unthinkable part, that someone would fire you for speaking out of line while still acknowledging that the other party is part of an organization that kills thousands and suppresses nations for oil for example.

Very good points. In fact the reality is the lack of alternative. But this is really what I don’t understand about thousand and thousand of talented people working for Meta, for example.
